Dungeon - Zenith, Vol. 1: Duck Heart

It had to be fate. I saw these books at the library and they looked like they might be good BUT... they didn't have the first one. I'm a completist, I could NOT start with volume 2 so I gave up. A week later, digging through a box of comics a friend had given me to sell more than a year ago, I find the first 8 comics in the series (the first 2 graphic novels). The dark, most-likely unclean, hand of some god of comedic fantasy had obviously reached into my life.

I grew up reading Finieous Fingers and What's New and have read some of the newer stuff like Knights of the Dinner Table etc... but it's been a while sense I enjoy funny fantasy comics as much as I enjoyed this. I love the "crappy" art, the zany and unpredictable laws of physics, show more and the occasional social commentary. I can definitely see myself hunting down and collecting this entire series.

On a side note the individual comics (not the collections) are in black and white, I can't wait to read the others in color.

Recommended for ages 8 to 108. This 45 year old child is enjoying them as much as, if not more than, he would have so many years ago before adult life shackled him to a desk and crushed all (okay just some) of his dreams. show less

A great, funny fantasy series about a barbarian duck and the dungeon where he works. Unique.

I liked the various spoofs they did of the D&D set, as well as the medieval pauper rescuing a princess trope.

If you've grown up on D&D, you'll love it. Might love it otherwise, too.

Jeder gute Dungeon hat einen Wärter. So auch der Donjon.

Der Wärter beschäftigt Monster, die Schätze bewachen. Und die Helden kommen und... bezahlen für den Spaß.

Donjon ist ein Monsterprojekt, mit mehreren Linien, eine in der Vergangenheit, eine in der Zukunft, eine die als Hauptfiguren die Monster hat usw.
Dieser erste Band der Hauptreihe ist superlustig und mahct Lust auf mehr.
