An amazing first volume of this graphic novel. If you love DnD, Jumanji and The chronicles of Narnia this one is for you.
Six teens in 1991 set out to play an rpg game at a birthday party. Upon picking the die up they are sucked into the game. Two years later 5 out of the six kids show up after the mysterious disappearance. For some reason (explained later) they can't talk about why or what happened while they were gone.
25 years down the line, the die of Sol, their friend who didn't come back with them, randomly shows up. And the five friends upon reconvening are sucked back into the realm to play again.
I loved this so much and now need to go grab the other 3 volumes. There was bipoc, disability and queer rep in it!
