my life is changed, my life is more fulfilling, i understand my true potential in the world and am at peace with my struggles

God, this was all i ever wished for and more. this was a TON of fun, with a ton of laughs, both from the podcast and new lines - or adapted, sharpened lines that were familiar (but not too familiar, but not too not familiar - ). It's a good cuddly book with three very uncuddly characters, and it's so nice to go back to the beginning of it all in a way that still feels show more fresh even when i finished my millionth re-listen just a month ago.

I actually wouldn't say it's good for people who haven't listened before though - there's a lot of missing context and the D&D stuff doesn't land quite so smoothly, but for the rest of us, this is a perfect companion. show less

This graphic novel is an adaptation of the D&D game the McElroy brothers (My Brother, My Brother, and Me) and their dad play on their podcast The Adventure Zone. I jumped into this without any previous experience with the podcast (aside from knowing it exists), and followed it with pleasure and without any problems. The adventure is fun and funny, with a fair amount of battling, a lot of banter, and a dash of meta (I particularly love when the DM pops up in the corner of a panel to comment show more on the action). show less

Petals to the Metal is one of my favorite mini-arcs within The Adventure Zone's Balance campaign. Fast and Furious references, a race, not burying your lesbians plus starting to get snippets of the broader plot with the Hunger and the Red Robes... really fascinating to continue watching how an audio narrative gets translated into a visual, and how plot and hints can be better organized knowing what's to come/smoothing over continuity errors/etc.

I'm curious as to how TAZ goes for someone show more experiencing it first through the graphic novels instead of the podcast! Certainly faster to get through. show less

A fun follow up! Funny, over the top, quirky, and clever; this nerdy graphic novel series is my new favorite thing. A trio of ridiculous adventurers have found themselves on a new quest. They must find a dangerous item before it falls into the hands of a nameless enemy. Things get complicated when they end up stuck on the train that the relic is on and someone gets murdered. Who did it? Why are they relying on a 10 year old for help. Why is there a giant crab attacking them? Wonderfully show more illustrated and filled with fantastic banter, I can hardly wait for the third installment! show less
