I admit I don't really read cyberpunk myself (I've spent the last few years paging through the Discworld series instead). My main concern of the Anonymous attacks is that the US Government could use this as leverage to pass laws regarding internet regulation by themselves in order to prevent these kind of things from happening. The catch would be it could come across as another Patriot Act, which I think most people would see as a bad thing.
It was an attempt to be witty and carry the comparison being made, nothing more.
While we may be living in a cyberpunk novel, I'm currently hoping the next chapters don't go the way of the usual cliched fictional approach in which the evil government (because in fiction, the government is usually always evil) lashes out in poorly thought out ways to re-consolidate its security and power.
Either way, I've been finding the entire Wikileaks scenario fascinating and while I'm a bit scared of how it's going to end, I definitely want to know what happens next.
Ah Megatokyo, the second webcomic I ever read. I still like the comic but I've given up reading it on a regular basis earlier this summer during the 2 updates a month phase. Naturally when I checked back a month later just to see if I was missing anything I find out that Fred started updating at least once a week again.
As for Sluggy Freelance, I'm in the same boat. I don't particularly care for the current story lines but after at least five years of reading the comic, it seems so odd to just stop and never go back.
