The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited!
In the second Adventure Zone graphic novel (adapted from the McElroy family's wildly popular D&D podcast), we rejoin hero-adjacent sort-of-comrades-in-arms Taako, Magnus, and Merle on a wild careen through a D&D railroad murder mystery. This installment has a little of everything: a genius child detective, an axe-wielding professional wrestler, a surly wizard, cursed magical artifacts, and a pair of meat monsters.
You know, the usual things you find on a train.
Hot on the heels of "The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins", the smash hit graphic novel that launched the series, "Murder on the Rockport Limited" picks up the saga where volume 1 left off. Both books are based on "The Adventure Zone," a tabletop RPG comedy podcast with downloads numbering in the tens of millions and an army of passionately devoted fans. With art and co-adaptation from Carey Pietsch, the McElroys are once again turning their raucous freewheeling D&D campaign into some damn fine comics.
The Adventure Zone
The #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novel series based on the smash-hit podcast of a father and his three sons playing Dungeons & Dragons in real time, The Adventure Zone graphic novels follow the exploits of three adventurers across a fantasy realm. With Clint McElroy's Dungeon Master "guiding" his sons Griffin, Justin, and Travis in their characters of Taako the elf wizard, Merle the dwarf cleric, and Magnus the human warrior, their adventures quickly become snarky and hilarious misadventures.
The Adventure Zone consists of five books, and the series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
