I just received my copy today as part of my subscription and while I enjoyed the story and art as much as I always do (and was glad to see Ezren get his wayfinder) I have an problem with it. Unlike all of the previous comics, the map insert is STAPLED INTO the issue. I cannot remove it without tearing something or dismantling the product. I am disappointed by this a great deal.
I am not going to stop getting the products because I enjoy them a great deal and I buy them for the comic and not the map. The map is an extra that you throw in and is a beautiful side benefit, so thanks. But I do hope that this can be resolved in future issues and more care is taken to not sell a product that must be damaged intentionally to make full use of it.
Considering that the map in my copy wasn't stapled, it's possible you were just the victim of a mistake by the printer.
I'm wondering where the Wayne Reynolds picture on the foldout inlay was taken from. Does anyone recognize it?
Not from something I have - so either it's not been used before, or it's from the Emerald Spire Kickstarter Edition.
Nope, I have that one, it doesn't have a painted cover. Weird.
Aha! Found it!
Oooh. Of course!
