adventurous fast-paced

I have not watched any Critical Role, and only know the characters vaguely from internet osmosis. This comic introduces six of the lead characters as they separately investigate the mystery of a swamp district where people are dying at unusual rates. Some say it's a curse, but if so, it seems like it was intentionally engineered. The book struggles overall with too much dialogue per page and the visual problems of including characters with extreme height differences together in panels. It's fairly obvious this was adapted from an audio-only original source. But the fight scenes are engaging, the humor is strong, and the three half-elf characters in particular get to show their personalities and begin to reveal their backstories.
