I read The Adventure Zone graphic novel (gifted to me by my lovely friends/DnD companions @pinalinet and @missmelmels) and I am blown away!! It focuses and polishes the Here There Be Gerblins arc brilliantly, capturing the humor and energy of the podcast while shaving off some of the first episodes' rougher edges (when the McElroys were still feeling out the characters' personalities). Also it's one of the prettiest graphic novels I now own, with fantastic character design, acting, colors and layouts. Carey Pietsch knocked it out of the park. Everyone who is a fan of the podcast should pick it up, and to all those of you who have seen me gushing over the podcast but have trouble getting into podcasts--this is the perfect chance to start the story in a visually friendly way. To quote Pat Rothfuss's introduction, "(The McElroys have) made something magical, and loving, and kind, and beautiful. The world is better because this story is in it." I'm so glad that through this graphic novel (series!!!!), more people will have the chance to enjoy that story with me.
