Review
Curis takes you to the darker reaches of wargaming s twisted psyche and the gibbering madness within. Then you find out he makes comics, which is pretty cool. --Brian Solomon
Punishment of the Dice Gods is a cutting yet affectionate comic based on the tabletop wargaming world. A lush printed edition of the collected strips of ninjabread.co.uk , it has two aspects to it - on the one hand it follows two enthusiasts as they negotiate the wargaming world, on the other it delves into the universe that their miniatures inhabit. In addition, it has five bonus strips included that do not appear on the website (an extra-special treat) and several full colour pages showcasing the author's skill with a pen and somewhat fevered imagination. Written by a guy with both a deep love and knowledge of the hobby but also the ability to poke fun at its eccentricities and lore. Recommended for any wargamers looking for an irreverant, sideways and humorous dissection of their interest and the strange creatures that dwell there (some human, some not). --Annie Butcher

About the Author
To Curis, cartoons are the best way to interact with the world. They got him into trouble at school, into print at university and into minor celebdom in the the miniature world of miniature wargaming. Curis' favourite resignation letter took the form of a three-panel cartoon, and his close associates regularly get weird doodles passing as birthday cards, or passive-aggressive notes about doing the washing up. Like Warhammer, Transformers and the pop culture he adores Curis was born in the 1980s. His comic, Ninjabread.co.uk, was launched in 2007 as a refuge of humour in the desert of the real.

I haven't had my copy delivered yet but bought it as soon as I realised it's by the guy who does the Ninjabread.com web comic. I'm going to put my neck on the line and say its going to be awesome, all the web stuff cracks me up.
It's my understanding that it's the first printing of all of the web comics in a regular book format, for those of you who haven't seen them are they are very, very funny with lots of in jokes for jaded old gamer nerd types.
I'm not 100% sure how much new material there will be along with the original web stuff but with it being a first book you should buy anyway, as you never know it could even be worth something as a collectable someday...maybe.
