Ratings and reviews

Awesome art. HORRIBLE writing. Every gag was cringe worthy and unclever. The writers trying really hard to be really edgy, but it comes off in a way that I can only describe as "Big Bang Theory-esque". A lot of money was spent trying to appeal to a specific audience, but it just ended up being kind of... lame. And dissaponting.

Seriously, this is a must-read for any DnD or fantasy fans who enjoy a more real dialogue. It's hilarious, fast paced, and the artwork is stunningly detailed. It's like if Fable had been written by a group of drug dealers, retired sex workers, and a party clown that specialized in funerals.

I've been looking for a comic book series for ages & stumbled upon this yesterday. It is everything I was looking for - beautiful graphics, strong characters, great storyline & real dialogue. Just started reading, you won't regret it!
