Webcomic Book Club Summary Reviews
of Angst Technology by Barry T. Smith


"Angst Technology.....GOOD.

Angst Technology, to me, is very funny. I will get that out of the way right now. And I think the reason is simple: it starts off with a rich cast, and goes from there. The art is simple and clear for AT; there's never a lot of detail, but it's rarely needed. And that's all I have to say in that regard, really.

In terms of story, AT does an admirable job in introducing new storylines--and growing them from older ones. They aren't completely random, wacky adventures. The current story, for example, depends heavily on what we've learned from previous ones. It's not that complex at the moment, but its conception makes a great deal of sense. The characters are the best point of AT, to me. The jokes do not rely on the characters, fortunately. But because of the source, they can be that much funnier. The only characters without as much background are new-in other words, it makes perfect sense that they aren't as well-developed yet. In terms of character, I have no complaints at all about AT's ability.

Finally, the humor. This is where AT can stumble a little. But at the same time, it's not for lack of humor--rather, you come to expect high quality. And on the few occasions where it doesn't reach that quality, it stands out, even though it's still funny.

Anyway, I'm going to bring this review to a close, because I don't think I made much sense. I give Angst Technology 9 out of 10, and I hope it keeps going for a long time.""

"AT's one of my favorite webcomics around nowadays. It reminds me somewhat of PvP, but with a more friendly, less saccharine feel. The setting too, is similar to the aforementioned, with several co-workers in a video game related business. However, Angst Technology is not a clone by any means. Its style is its own, by art and writ...AT's black and white art is pretty clean in the current run, quite a bit of improvement from the earliest content...The writing, which I feel is usually the living core of any webcomic, is what most appeals to me...I find it an enjoyable experience, and perhaps a little something to look forward to each day when I go online.

The author of AT comes off as being friendly, helpful, and playful. You can see it not only in his posts, but the various other nifty things he hosts, such as a humorous picture of the week, his call to arms in a low-key online war game he participates in, and the site of the week. The image he shows of himself to his readers, can have a friendly effect to one's overall experience on his site. It would be a credit of other creator's to understand this, and leave their heavier baggage elsewhere."
