I love the podcast this is based off of and this is a great adaptation of it. I love seeing how the characters interact just in character (sometimes the podcast gets confusing when I can’t tell whats OOC), and the art in this book is beautiful.

I'm not sure whether this second volume worked better as a graphic novel or I simply adjusted to the format change, but this was smooth chugging for me. A delightful chance to revisit these characters and their adventures, with some nice foreshadowing that the podcast format didn't allow.

Also, I love Taako.

Angus McDonald is my absolute favorite character in anything ever. He is the world's best boy detective and he is perfect. If I could give this comic more stars just for Angus, I would.

Everything else is really great too! I love the 4th wall breaking and all the references and goofs. The art is also just really cute and well done.

A classic train job mashed with a murder mystery, and the best Greatest Boy Detective! Angus McDonald is definitely one of my all time favorite TAZ characters, and he's great here.

Turning these into graphic novels after the Balance arc is finished also allows for hints of what's to come, what's going on behind the scenes, and ironing out early installment weirdness as they got into their groove in the podcast. Garfield the Warlock is still a mysterious being and we don't know what he looks like (kinda, in nods to fan theories sure, but still unknowable)

Neverwinter is Eversummer here, presumably for the same avoidance of Wizards of the Coast names.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

another automatic 5 star reread- taako & lucretias interactions in this one never fail to make me emotional. the foreshadowing set up is insane and carey pietsch’s way with colors and emotion bring the story to life in a whole new way compared to the podcast
