Riding off the coattails of Spider-Man 3's massive box office success this weekend (we kid because we love), 2P Start took top honors for this week's best game-related webcomic. What we love most is the comic's simplicity and its decision to avoid any and all text.
Ctrl+Alt+Del made second place, while the first Penny Arcade (about Spider-Man 3: The Game) and Dueling Analogs duke it out for third place. Thanks to everyone who voted and be sure to let us know of any gaming comics you stumble upon this week!
Here's the breakdown:

Christ, the penny arcade ones were bad, which made me wonder why you thought they were both so good.
I understand it must be pretty hard being consistently funny around the same topic a number of times a week, but you'd think they would manage someone at least once in a while.
Rather than 'Readers pick best Webcomic' could you not make it 'Readers pick least crap Webcomic' simply because it's pretty much false advertising.
The only one that makes me chuckle *fairly* consistantly is Dueling Analogs. Other than that they struggle to raise a smile.
Having said that, my favourite was the non-game-focused comic that did the surgery gag when the screen fuzzed up at the end ala dusty gameboy cartridges.
That is all.

Yeah I thought the DA one was pretty funny too, but oh well I didn't vote.
I kinda of reminded it me how in Call of Duty, you are completely unable to open doors that lead to the next area even with a Melee attack but there is always one certain person who can effoertless open it as soon as they catch up to you.

Here's my latest comic, lampooning Shiggy's Halo claim with a Mario/Halo hybrid:

I know I haven't been included since that September 9th incident, but it's worth a shot.
