grayroacegnome 's review for:
The Adventure Zone: The Eleventh Hour
by Griffin McElroy, Clint McElroy, Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy
I assume by this point that you've already read the previous graphic novels in this series: "Here there be Gerblins", "Murder on the Rockport Express", "Petals to the Metal" and "The Crystal Kingdom". If not, I really would advise doing that - not just because they're great, but because there is *so much* backstory built up that I think would be difficult to jump into at this point.
In the previous graphic novels, there have been some really lovely moments, but for the most part, it's all goofs and whimsy. This is the part of the overall story where that balance (ha, see what I did there?) shifts... The Eleventh Hour is hard-hitting, emotional and haunting. Sure, there are a lot of laughs and it's still the same McElroy brothers just wanting to make each other laugh while they play a game of D&D together - but oh my gosh, this is where they truly hit their stride as Storytellers.
Carey Pietsch has once again outdone themself in translating this from an audio medium (since this is all based on a D&D podcast) into a visual one; this a truly stunning piece of art, and the way they captured time lapses in particular is really well done.
I love this graphic novel series in general, but this book in particular is really standout and I think anyone who's a fan of fantasy and comedy would enjoy it!
