Very entertaining stuff. The artwork, plot, and characterization are all top-notch, and the dialogue really feels like it's coming from a bunch of D&D players. Lots of action, lots of humour, interesting characters ... highly recommended.
Plus, if you're a D&D fourth edition player, there are a couple of adventures in the back ... although the plots for them may be somewhat familiar by that point ...

... that feels as if it is written by the players. The dialogue almost feels like an episode of 'FireFly' as the banter between the party is very fluid and comical. Anyone who enjoys D&D and comics - this is a must. And any who have never played D&D, but enjoy comics - get this as you'll soon realise the enjoyment us players get out of the game. Don't worry about the usual slow start with background stories like with other comics, as this collection throws you straight into the action and you find yourself immediately warming to the heroes.
This book does look from the outside like one of the rule books, so it'll fit in with your D&D collection quite nicely. Also, please note that this collection covers comics #0 to #5, as it doesn't mention this anywhere. The collection also includes a module of the story at the back of the book, so that you can play the comic with either your own characters, or the books.
This is a must read and I am now seriously addicted to the next comic - get it and join the adventure!!

Excellent!

I had read the first three of these when they came out as regular comics and enjoyed them. They are very well illustrated, and the dialogue is also quite excellent. It kind of reminds me of an actual gaming session, if the players had some time to tighten up their interplay and interaction a bit. Just the right amount of playful banter mixed in with a cool storyline, and characters everybody can appreciate. When the group encounters an orc raiding party attacking a caravan, and the orc leader ends up being quite a bit more intelligent than they figured, while still being a deadly warrior, i had to laugh a bit, as this was exactly how it would have played out on the tabletop. As often happens in gaming groups, every plan, whether well thought out or spur of the moment falls through, and yet luck prevails. The characters, and especially the Fighter leader continually find themselves in life or death situations, but always manage a self-deprecating quip or get to listen to one of their party members laughing at them as they stave off death in various forms (orcs, undead, dopplegangers, etc...).
I really enjoyed this. Additionally, it is bound just like a D&D Hardcover manual, which i really appreciated. Far more durable and user friendly than any other graphic novel or compilation i have ever purchased. The pre-order price was great $14.69. Five stars for this one. I think you will enjoy it. :)
p.s. I forgot to mention this earlier, but after #6 ends (set up as chapter six in this book), they have gone ahead and converted the first two chapters into D&D module form, set up for groups of 1st and 2nd level characters so you can play through as an actual adventure if you are so inclined.

I've been waiting for a comic to capture the way I wish my Dungeons and Dragons campaigns would go. The voice captured within this comic is fun, witty and appropriate. The art is excellent and detailed. Some of the art is so detailed that some of the sequential panels, especially with Bree the rogue and her "D&D Like" moves, tell a story themselves.
I highly recommend this book to any lover of fantasy, any one who played AD&D, lovers of D&D, or wished they could find people to play D&D.

Great Book. It jumps right into the action and doesn't let up. It reads like a D&D session. Very fun!
