The main thing I miss when reading The Adventure Zone comics versus listening to the podcast is the silly voices, and especially the pacing of vocal delivery. But what you get instead is a wealth of silly character expressions and visual jokes. They are sneaking in earlier appearances for some characters who were introduced later in the podcast story, which works well. The murder mystery is very effective, especially the final reveal and the concluding battle. I love that they include a fan art gallery in the back of each volume, helping to maintain the alternate fan-canons for character's visual appearances.
