I need to be patient for more of this series to come out so it can get to the part of the story I want to read, and that’s on me. Of course I love the new character introductions, the setting shift gave me something more than a swamp to look at, and the deeper Grog backstory was nice to sink into. I’m sure the team working on this series isn’t concerned with getting to the big meaty plot that makes everyone go crazy for Vox Machina, but as someone still trying to convert I really wish they would show us more than character introduction and bite sized quests. It’s the second installment of Vox Machina Origins and nothing has changed! This isn’t a bad thing, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed. A tale worthy of Scanlan himself.īy Matthew Mercer, Jody Houser (Script), Olivia Samson (Art), MSASSYK (Colors), and Ariana Maher (Letters) The frozen ice forest is especially beautiful, and I've never seen anyone draw a bear quite as adorable as Samson's depiction of Trinket.Ī good time from beginning to end, with perfect characterisation, the addition of the missing characters from volume 1, and amazing artwork on every page. Olivia Samson's artwork is again gorgeous, and she gets much more opportunity to flex her artistic muscles thanks to a wider variety of locations and set pieces on offer from Houser's storyline. There's even a "dagger/dagger/dagger, Hunter's Mark" joke that made me laugh out loud, but it's all done with a cheeky wink on Houser's part rather than a "HEY LOOK LOOK WHAT I DID" kind of framing to it. It's obvious when Scanlan's using Vicious Mockery, for example, but it doesn't break up the flow of the story to elicit a smile from the reader. There are all the usual tropes you'd expect, like the epic quest, the splitting of the party, the evil wizard, and some sad backstory, as well as subtle nods to the audience about meta-gaming and even the use of certain D&D spells and abilities (even if they're not named out loud). What I really liked about this volume however was just how much it felt like a Dungeons & Dragons adventure played out in comic form. This is Grog's story, but he never overwhlems the others, and Scanlan is noticeably restrained instead of running rampant over everyone else with his jokes like in the first volume. New writer Jody Houser nails all of the characters' voices easily, and balances everyone nicely. The first volume of Vox Machina was okay, but this one really shines. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.When Grog disappears in the middle of the night, the rest of the newly formed Vox Machina head off in search of him, in the process discovering some other familiar faces and running afoul of a lich's curse that can only be stopped by committing the biggest roleplay game sin - splitting the party!
