21 posts | 17 read | 9 to read
START YOUR ENGINES, friends, Clint McElroy and sons Griffin, Justin, and Travis hit the road again with Taako, Magnus and Merle, the beloved agents of chaos from the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novels illustrated by Carey Pietsch, The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins and The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited.Our boys have gone full-time at the Bureau of Balance, and their next assignment is a real thorny one: apprehending The Raven, a master thief who's tapped into the power of a Grand Relic to ransack the city of Goldcliff. Local life-saver Lieutenant Hurley pulls them out of the woods, only to throw them headlong into the world of battle wagon racing, Goldcliff's favorite high-stakes low-legality sport and The Raven's chosen battlefield. Will the boys and Hurley be able to reclaim the Relic and pull The Raven back from the brink, or will they get lost in the weeds?Based on the beloved blockbuster podcast where three brothers and their dad play a tabletop RPG in real time, The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal has it all: blossoming new friendships, pining for outlaw lovers, and a rollicking race you can root for!

I thoroughly enjoyed this graphic novel, and am in love with the designs each volume! It's nice what they've done with the Sloane and Hurley arc, and I can't wait for Crystal Kingdom!

Y‘all I love the taz boys a whole lot and I‘m thrilled to say this is just as good, if not in some places better, than the original podcasts. It‘s so lovely seeing these idiots and all the other lovely characters in print (and my favourite dryad lesbians y‘all, they‘re everything I could hope for, I love them both so much)

Loving reading the comics of The Adventure Zone graphic novels. Loved the podcast arc so it‘s not surprising I am loving the comics as well. They look beautiful and the stories have been really well recreated as comics it really captures the fun of Dungeons and Dragons.

This was just what I needed today. What a wonderful way to take time out and just enjoy myself. Also, this had possibly my new favorite easter egg of all time.

Another fun entry in the Adventure Zone series! I was never able to get into the podcast these are based on but I've really enjoyed the graphic novel adaptations.

This was such a good adaptation of the podcast arc! I love the art style so much and some of the pages were literal masterpieces. The story itself also flowed well and I loved seeing the race on page. And that ending, wow. Can‘t wait for Crystal Kingdom!

The Tres Horny Boys are back for an adventure of magical vines and battling racers! The third artifact has been stolen, and our boys need to recover it before untold destruction is wrought.

This arc has never been my favorite, especially because of the end. But this adaptation took care of that part nicely. The art continues to be amazing, and the rewrites keep the humor and heart, while letting the boys acknowledge their mistakes. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

4.5/5

Another great comic made out of The Adventure Zone podcast. The art is wonderful. There are so many great moments in this arc. I laughed at the way some of the jokes were illustrated, and I cried at the end even though I knew it was coming. My only criticism is slightly spoilery so I'm putting it I'm a separate comment. All in all I enjoyed this book, and cannot wait to see The Crystal Kingdom in comic form.

sebrittainclark I love the updated ending, but I'm not sure that someone who doesn't know that dryads are a thing in D&D is going to understand what happened. 4y

Another wild volume of TAZ funn of battlewagons, accidental murder, and the introduction of Garyl the Binicorn. Carey Pietsch continues to do an incredible job with her vibrant illustrations in bringing this story to life and the McElroys have done a great job staying true to the original story while adapting and adjusting it for graphic novel form. Can't wait for Crystal Kingdom!

This article contains 10 pages of the new comic, and a quick talk with Travis that makes me hope they‘ll be taking care of one of my least favorite bits of the entire Balance series. 🤞🏻

Is it July yet?
