The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited! (Adventure Zone #2) - by Clint McElroy
Comic & Graphic Novels
In this second outing in The Adventure Zone saga, we rejoin hero-adjacent sort-of-comrades-in-arms Taako, Magnus, and Merle on a wild careen through a D&D railroad murder mystery.
Before Critical Role and Dimension 20 took the nerd world by storm, the McElroys won us over with their tabletop antics, and this installment has a little of everything: a genius child detective, an axe-wielding professional wrestler, a surly wizard, cursed magical artifacts, and a pair of meat monsters.
You know, the usual things you find on a train.
With art and co-adaptation from Carey Pietsch, the McElroys are once again turning their raucous freewheeling D&D campaign into some damn fine comics.
