Webcomic Book Club Summary Reviews
of FANS! by T. Campbell


"I sort of identify with Tim. Only I'm not so fat.
Ok now I'm sounding pathetic.. I'm wiser than tim and older... umm yeah.

Anywho, this is a realy neat comic about the fandom itself.
Much of it focuses on the basic moral that Sci Fi isn't some pathetic pastime as often believed. It gives rise to new ideas, allowing individuals to invent things years before the technology exists and begin the debate about how those technologies might affect life for good and bad."

"Very intresting page design, usually just white with comic on top but it changes, again a very good use of diverse mediums, the use of scrolling to page to add elements, sideways, or downwards, this was particularly effective in some of the earlier strips."

"What the others saw in this webcomic, I didn't so much. FAANS!, as far as I'm concerned, has immense writing problems. The active use of X-Files characters as notable side characters, the constant O. Henry twists, the rationales/conclusions that don't add up, the total lack of realism while enforcing a semi-serious tone... I can't look around this sort of thing. FAANS! has its moments, but I can't get past the important content issues."

"I like FAANS!, a lot. It doesn't concentrate on the fanboy aspect as much as it used to-which is both good and bad. Instead, it's moved beyond that, and takes the subject much more seriously. However, I do worry about the future of FAANS!. I think it has potential for both a great end-and a great disaster."

"I'll say right off the bat that this is the type of comic strip I enjoy, so my review may be favorably influenced by that...The goals and objectives are rather simplistic. Aliens, vampires, evil government conspiracies...yet all of these are, while being a parody of other things, much deeper than they first appear."
