In a sequel to the first Dragon Age comic, King Alistair, Isabella and Varric continue their crusade to find the man who kidnapped Alistair's father. The story is quickly sidetracked when the Qunari get involved. It's short and quick at 3 issues but a solid addition the the Dragon Age canon.

Quick storyline with two of my favorite characters from Dragon Age. I'm a little disappointed Varric didn't talk about his books and getting himself into mischief. The book was a little too short but it is so close to the game that all is forgiven. I actually was falling asleep when I was writing this so I didn't finish my little review of the book.The issue I had with this story was the lack of any real villains, the second game also struggled in this department. I enjoy the universe and the cr...

Pretty okay, but a huge focus in Isabela, and she's not my favorite character.

I never was a fan of Isabela, which makes me the minority here. I don't know... The story has gone along with my canon version of the video game, but I can see how it would really alienate people whose canon was completely opposite. You can actually have Alistair executed in the game, yet here he is as the King of Fereldan... It must be quite annoying for those people. I know not everyone can be pleased, but they've written content before that hasn't pointed towards any of the decisions made in

I actually read this one a while ago, yet somehow whenever it came time to do reviews, it kept slipping through the cracks. I love all things Dragon Age: I’ve read the books, I’ve played through both games multiple times (in the case of Origins, on multiple consoles) and I even own a shirt that suggests I enjoy feeding Alistair to the archdemon for breakfast. Isabella and Alistair are even two of my favorite characters, so Those Who Speak should be right up my alley, right next to this lovely ha...

Would it be rude to say that Isabela is sorta what Celaena Sardothien should have been? The two of them are very different, obviously, but I think the traits they share are shown better in Isabela than Celaena. *shrugggggg*

I didn't realize this was Volume 2 of the series - that might explain why the characters felt a bit muddy and confused - you're supposed to know them already and understand the shorthand. Having finished the first Dragon Age game, I do know a couple of people who show up (King Alistair, and another friend from the first game), and I gather the rest are probably important to the second game. That being said, comics should be legible without all of the source material, and this doesn't quite get t...

Isabella is one tough bitch. She comes across as cocky and almost careless, but it’s confidence born of skill. Her appearance is a weapon, one she uses to ensnare many men and even a few women. She gives her enemies a false sense of security; they think they have won her, though in reality she has manipulated them into letting their guard down. And that’s when she likes to strike. That’s when she kills. This is, of course, Alistair’s story, though the addition of Isabella’s point of view helped...

Arc from NetGalley.Ah, the Dragon Age world. Fun to be visiting that again. It was an interesting read. Isabela joins up with Alistair to find out if his father is still alive, and alongside with Varric the two of them get into trouble. It was fun seeing new and old characters alike. It was interesting to get an fleshed-out Isabela. She felt more human, you get to understand her mentality better and some of her background. It made her more sympathetic. It was also interesting to learn some more

The Silent Grove re-opened a few issues raised in Dragon Age: Origins and the prequel book, The Stolen Throne, and added a few new ingredients. I was worried that Those Who Speak would fail to deliver an appropriate conclusion to all of that in a mere three issues – and I was right. Fortunately, Those Who Speak is not a conclusion, but rather an interlude where King Alistair Theirren and his companions, the pirate queen, Isabela, and the dwarven businessman, Varric Tethras, gain a new old ally a...

The story's okay, the artwork is good, but I can never quite accept the objectification of Isabela in a vast amount of drawings. There's a limit to how much t&a you can stand, and for me that limit is low. On the plus side, she's a cool character and it was good to get some of her background revealed.

I'd say the story and the art are both okay, nothing that special. The other issues were better in my opinion but its still something worth picking up.

King Alistair has learned that his father, King Maric, might still be alive, and that a Tevinter mage is likely behind Maric's disappearance. Enlisting the help of pirate captain Isabela and Varric, he goes to Tevinter to find the mage in question. But they don't count on getting mixed up with the Qunanri, or meeting up with an old comrade of Alistair's.I very much enjoyed this story; it's nice to see tales of people we played with in the games but will likely not see again, except in passing, i...

So this is going to be quick, simple and to the point. BioWare and Dragon Age creator David Gaider have been collaborating on a graphic novel series of the Dragon age game, taking place after the events of Dragon Age II.The first one, Silent Grove, sets Alistair on the path to finding his father’s killer, with hints that he might still be alive. Here, in the second installation Those Who Speak, the focus is taken off Alistair and placed squarely on the vivacious Rivian pirate queen Isabella.Isab...

This second volume is through the voice of Isabela the Pirate Queen. And she's awesome. I loved her backstory, very engaging. There was a lot more sword battles in this one, true to Dragon Age fashion. However, the issue I'm having is we got so little plot progression. Right now the series is in three parts with this being part 2...and we only get one nugget of information. There is just so much set up...where is it going to end? Instead of publishing 3 short adventures one large one would have

IMO these three graphic novels by David Gaider are mandatory reading for all Dragon Age fans. Not only do we get new adventures with three of our favorite characters (Alistair, Isabela, Varric) but Gaider also reveals information with significant implications for the future of Thedas. He's obviously building up to something big regarding the role of dragons in the world and I suspect that these graphic novels contain hints about the major plotline for a future game.

5 stars This comics are fenomenal! i'm so kicking my head for only reading them now. The qunari, FRICKING STEN, the trio Isabela, Varric and Alistair make. I'm loving this. Can't wait for the next. Definitely recommend! :D

Bioware certainly knows how to add depth to their worlds and they have a way of feeding you the information so that you’re always hungry for more, which is exactly what David Gaider does with Those Who Speak.Anyone familiar with the Dragon Age games immediately recognizes the names Alistair, Isabela and Varric; and though it does seem like a rather unlikely trio it works out perfectly. Alistair with his semi sarcastic/semi awkward humor, Isabela with both the street smarts and the fairly inappro...

Reviewing at my site also.Following Dragon Age: The Silent Grove, Dragon Age: Those Who Speak takes Alistair, Varric and Isabela to the Tevinter Imperium, giving us a taste of that foul place, continuing Alistair's quest to find out what happened to King Maric. This book seemed to move along a bit better, and gives you some insight into our favorite pirate lass. There's one more 'friendly' face that appears but I won't spoil it. Definitely worth picking up if you're itching for something to hold...

Action packed follow up to the Silent Grove comic bundle by David Gaider. While the first one was narrated by Alistair as he tries to find his father, this one switches perspective to Isabella. The story continues with Alistair, Varric, and Isabella catching up with the mage who was pointed out in the Silent Grove bundle as King Maric's abductor in Tevinter. From there, it's a dangerous trip into Qunari waters trying to track him down after he escapes a confrontation with the heroes. The group i...
