Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is bitter about missing Comic-Con

It's not that we won't get to use our Himitsu Sentai Goranger costumes for another year, even though they did cost a fortune to make. It's not that we're missing all the games, either, despite the fact that we would have loved to see The Beast showcase Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 at Capcom Unity's events. You know what we're upset about? Karen Gillian was there. Amy Pond. Life can be so unfair.

If you're also dealing with the sad reality of missing Comic-Con, soothe your sorrows with our 7 favorite gaming webcomics from last week. Don't forget to vote for your favorite after the break!

My balls...your chin. Enough said.

"The Konami Code" was a redrawing of an older Dueling Analogs comic.

Awkward Zombie, though this was a very weak week

Tough call between PA and Nerf, but I'll go with PA this time. I've navigated the perils of the merch floor, and I have come out with bargain katanas and a Spice and Wolf poster.

You even missed a Spider-Man actor causing a scene at Comic-con.

Annservice, Part 4 was better than 3. If only for "Come Along, Pond."

@Suichimo

What this person said a bajillion times over.

@Suichimo Came here just to post this. A very unexpected reference.

@Suichimo

That one was lost on me, but I thought the Bayonetta cosplay one was the best.

@CorneliusPrime128
Doctor Who reference, for those who aren't aware.

So hard to choose, all of them were kinda weak, but I had to give it to Virtual Shackles just because "They will come to us!" made me lol.

Not voting see you all next week.

Honestly, is there any video of JMS's interview @ comic con this year?

I don't get the Annservice Part 4 comic on Penny Arcade. The first three had me rolling, but the forth...just what are they referencing?

@The Only Girl Star Wars, Star Trek and Dr Who, in that order.

@HaroldoNVU

I think it's more that there isn't really a punchline, he probably knows the characters. I'm left a little confused by it too.

Off-topic, apparently the PSone classics section of the playstation store updated. I wish somebody told me this entire time I could have downloaded Threads of Fate onto my PSP

Marvel isn't Daigo's game. Tokido is the current top Japanese player in Marvel. The Beast gets tamed quite easily by a fair number of American Marvel players. He did get a major, though. We'll see how he performs at EVO--his Dante was solid, if not shaky.

Dueling Analogs is too brilliant not to vote for, though the last panel in Penny Arcade is quite lulz worthy.

Hadukennedy had me laughing so much, konami code was clever( I liked that their hands were the code) but I think I will have to go for PA this week, very good end to annservice

What's the point in voting if you guys NEVER reveal the winners?

Check the tag, you guys haven't shown the winners for a loooooooong time. :/

Pretty weak... um... week. Voted for Dueling Analogs despite it just being an update of old one. I at least smiled at that one.

I wish there was an "abstain" option that would count the number of people that specifically didn't like any of the options. All the comics this week were either kind of lame or just had me going "what?"

I guess I'll go with Awkward Zombie, at least I smiled a bit. I never finished that game, either. :\

@twocows

I wish there was a separate button for "They're all bad so I'm picking Penny Arcade" because that seems to happen a lot.

Wow. Nothing funny. At all.

Akaranger is best ranger

Comic Con was a bit fun

Man, not the best week for webcomics, huh? Dueling Analogs is currently winning with a remake of a previous comic and I really didn't get Nerf NOW. The husband divorces the wife and the wife takes revenge by stabbing Megaman Legends 3, therefore cancelling it? I guess? Am I close?
