When you talk about DDR, most people envision a group of fanatical teens who spend every night dancing on a metal stage trying to match the arrows as they scroll towards the top. In a lot of ways, this comic is like that. Except you take those fanatical kids, put them in groups, and have those group compete for $10,000. That’s right, $10,000. In Hawaii no less.
The story follows one of the teams, the Platinum Mark, who have been touring the country winning all sorts of lower level tournaments. These guys get 99% or better on every single song, no matter what the difficulty or what sorts of curve-balls get thrown.
At first, the artwork seems almost incomplete, like its just sketches before the real art gets done. The style grows on the reader pretty fast however. Fortunately, the game doesn’t focus on the competition itself, rather it just talks about results on the stuff that happens off of the stage.
There is a lot of terminology that helps the reader to know, but it isn’t really necessary to enjoy the comic (it does help if you know it though, bumping the worth of the comic up another half star). If you are a really hard-liner for good drawing, this comic probably won’t appeal to you because of the sketch like nature of it.
