The Breast...I mean, Best Cameo in comics: PVP #45


Nerds are awesome. Lets just get that out in the open first thing. If you're reading this, there is a fair to middling chance that you are some sort of nerd or geek. I know I am. We come in many varieties, but all are equally awesome. So, unless you're reading this as some sort of spy sent to infiltrate our community (Admittedly, this seems unlikely.), you are probably right in the heart of the audience who will love PVP #45.

PVP chronicles the lives and adventures of the nerds, geeks, and anthropomorphic animals who work on the fictional magazine Player vs. Player. Any reader can jump right in to these comic strip-style adventures, without needing any familiarity with the characters. Like the best newspaper strips, you can just jump right in and giggle away. Writer/artist Scott Kurtz gives you everything you need from the very first panel.

This issue actually includes several stories featuring the terror of the giant panda invasion, the WWF vs the WWE, the yuletide horror of Kringus ("Born of the Tears of Children."), and the relationship travails of love, marriage, and bromance. All of these stories are funny, but I'll be honest with you here: if you've never read PVP before, the breast, umm, I mean BEST, reason to pick up this comic is a certain unexpected cameo. Allow me to explain.

When Brent goes searching for a missing co-worker, he ends up at the Liberty Meadows Animal Sanctuary and finds himself face to rack with none other than Frank Cho's Brandy. Blinded and bewildered by Brandy's generous "assets," Brent finds himself unable to get through a single sentence without slipping up and dropping in some breast-related spoonerism. I'd share more of them with you here, but that would spoil the fun. I'll just say that for any dedicated Cho fan, this is a guest appearance you won't want to miss.

Nerds, Comedy, booby puns, giant panda violence, killer Christmas trees, and even an explosion--what more could anyone ask for in a single issue? OK, maybe a ninja would have been nice, but you can't have everything. What you can have is a chance to try out PVP #45 for yourself, with the security of Four Color Fantasies' money back guarantee. Don't wait another minute, because this comic will really "enhance" your huge "rack." Your rack of comics, I mean. I assume it's huge, right? (OK, I couldn't resist one more. I promise it won't happen again.)
