We asked the McElroys to tell us how excited they are about this new project and, in typical The Adventure Zone style, they had trouble saying anything serious. €œTo paraphrase John McClane: ‘Let’s get together. Have a few laughs. Play some D&D.’,” Clint said. “Little did I know that would lead to me sharing a stage with my sons at the Wilbur Theater in Boston, seeing myself rendered in plastic as a three-and-a-half foot tall Beach Dwarf, and meeting thousands of the most adoring and adorable fans I have ever encountered. And now a graphic novel? My parole officer is never going to believe it.”Artist Pietsch is excited to jump into The Adventure Zone world, too. “On a selfish level: this is a dream project to get to work on,” she said. “This show is very special to me. I fell into a hole of designing characters and making fan art for The Adventure Zone last year and just never left, and it€™s been a real treat to get to know the passionate fan community because of it. For everyone who, like me, is already a fan of The Adventure Zone, I€™m excited to further develop the world and characters you already know and love.”You can scope out some preview pages below and get ready for all the dice-rolling action when the book launches next year. We’re as excited as dwarf swimming in a sea of mead.
