Pathfinder Volume 1: Dark Waters Rising by Jim Zub
4.0
I'm a pretty big tabletop gamer. Pathfinder is an RPG that I am very familiar with and I have traveled a lot of the world of Golarion in my past. I never really had the itch to read any D&D comics before, let alone Pathfinder...and yet here we are.
This first volume was fun. It's basically like reading a little mini-campaign that my friends and I would have played, stoned out of our heads, and drinking too much soda pop or coffee. I especially enjoyed issue 5 of this volume and it is responsible for the four-star rating I gave this instead of the planned three-stars I was going to give it (It probably should still only be 3 stars but I really liked that issue 5).
I was also very much into all the actual game content that this gave me in the back matter of the book. Each issue is full of character sheets for NPC's, maps, encounters...things that you can take directly to your table and use in an actual game. Very cool, and now that I think about it...that would be a good enough reason to give this comic a 4-star rating too.
Anyways, this book isnt breaking any new ground, it isn't revolutionary and it's not going to make the world a better place to live. However, if you are into RPG's, dig the lore of Pathfinder, or are just looking for some heroes kicking the shit out of some Goblins, you could do worse than this book.
