The character design and the artwork improved a lot in this installment of Critical Role's retelling of their first season, but the story was not as strong. Where the first one had a lot of political intrigue going on in the city where the adventurers were just forming this group, the second installment seemed to ignore a lot of the world building that was developed in the first installment. That is not to say that the story was still not a lot of fun to read. It definitely had that Dungeons and...
Much better than the first one, I loved the updated character designs and how they're already changing character-wise. LOVED Percy's introduction, I could not contain my gasp the first time I saw the gun. Easier to read and the hidden, almost Easter Eggs with quotes from the show made my day.
This was a fun, fast and engaging read. I love having the issues collected into a volume where I can read the whole adventure at once. Can't wait for the next one.
Vox Machina, are a party of adventurers that are world renowned heroes. All firm friends. All powerful in their own right. All brave in their own ways. But it wasn't always that way. They had to start somewhere. This is where. Based on the D and D campaign of Vox Machina prior to it being broadcast on Critical Role, we learn where our favourite characters met and how a band of misfits became the legendary "Vox Machina". In this volume, after establishing how the party all came together, we learn...
Still loving these comics. It's great to see these beloved characters in another medium, and I especially loved finally seeing Pike and Percy. The personalities and dynamics really shined through - the twins in particular I thought were captured perfectly. Also, all the little catch phrases and such making there way in, like "looking pretty rough" and "you can certainly try". Just makes my nerdy little heart happy.
I want to read all of this from start to finish immediately. I feel like the gang's back together again even though this is technically the beginning. I also can't wait to dive a little further into everyone's backgrounds and personalities in print.
3.5* got the charm of the characters but by way of plot and development i don't think a lot happened. maybe that's unavoidable since the "main story" is obviously covered. i did LOVE the intro to percy. that intro was a whole star.
Honestly this was fucking brilliant, best issue so far out of all of them!I can't wait to read more, after that ending I am here like GIMME THE NEXT ONE DAMN IT
Fun to read pre-stream content.Fun read, great action. It is also awesome to see the pre-stream Critical Role story fleshed out. Good book, great for the fans.
Knowing this story took place pre stream I am very interested in knowing what happens next, even though I know it’ll all be ok in the end, filling in gaps if the early story of Vox Machina is fun to learn about.
The art is stunning, and it is such a wonderful addition to the CR Vox Machina universe. I love the origin stories and seeing the prestream backgrounds of the characters. I can't wait for the collection 3!
I love getting to learn more about this story arc and the characters a bit more. It has a very mysterious ending which intrigues me for the next issue.
The colors in this issue blew me away
This one seemed very short? But we got more Pike and we're on our way to Percy, so I can't complain.
Can’t wait for the next one! It’s fun to read the backstories in print!
Personally thought this was a big improvement over Vol. 1 (which I still enjoyed), for the following reasons:1. Vex was much more in character the way Laura Bailey plays her.2. Pike and Percy!3. Just everything Keyleth did with her terrible Charisma stat. I was a little bit sad that Percival introduced himself and then suggested VM call him Percy. There was a suggestion in the Kraghammer arc that he was sort of fondly resigned to it, and I hoped Keyleth or Vax might have started it. Also I gotta...
I'm very biased because I love Critical Role, but I absolutely love that they're making graphic novels for the pre-stream stories. I love the little in-jokes that are probably still great one-liners to anyone who might be reading this series without having watched the show. I love this adventuring party so, so, so much, and it's so great to see them before they become the legendary Vox Machina! (Before they even become the S.H.I.T.s!) It also really throws light on how much these characters grow...
A great second adventure! We got to meet the last two members of Vox Machina, and we got to see the Party really get along and start to cooperate! I really enjoy seeing these as their little one-off adventures, it’s very refreshing! The writing and art in this version flows a lot better than the previous version, and I can only imagine how much the next versions will improve as well! I love the addition of the fanart at the end as well! Overall, 4.4 out of 5 stars for me!! A great adventure and
Must a graphic novel adaption be good? Is it not enough to trample your way through a fantasy world, going off the rails? Overall, a fantastic second adventure! I didn't know much -- if anything -- about it before reading, but I can't say it hasn't been exceedingly fun. I loved learning a bit more about the characters.
Now THIS is more like it! Probably the best so far in both series. Great action, art & storytelling. Some awesome Critter Hat Tips and a terrific foreshadowed ending to make you want the next installment RIGHT NOW!
