Pathfinder—Origins #1: Valeros (paizo.com Exclusive)

Stabbin' all the things!

But why is amiri on the cover?

Its when Amiri meets Valeros. Also they probably figured it would be a better lead in.

I am looking forward to the next series set. Will it also me a six issue run or one issue per iconic? If it is limited, which six iconics will be featured? I just looked at the comics page and this will be a six issue run. Which six iconics will be featured? (Or, will there be more than one iconic per issue?) Will there be another series with the remaining iconics?

As an aside, does Dynamite Entertainment have any plans to offer pdf versions of their comics (and associated posters/maps) for sale? (I really like the posters and maps, but I don't much care for the creases the folding creates - it really detracts from the image when displayed.)

They have said it is two iconics per issue.

Is this part of the comic subscription?

Yes, as the product description states.

D'OH! missed that. Sorry.

They're not PDF format, but Dynamite does offer Pathfinder comics (along with their other titles) digitally through Comixology.

To prove themselves to the Pathfinder Society, Valeros the fighter and his companions must recount tales of their early exploits in a world beset by magic and evil.

Looks great, i aleady have an abo for all 6 issues.

Will be getting mine, and all future Pathfinder comics, through comixology.

Cannot wait for this.

So the exclusive cover of Valeros is Amari?
Good call.

'cause that's not sarcastic or passive-aggressive at all *sigh

Is it a website glitch that shows I am subscribed to this product line yet the last item to ship was City of Secrets #6 and the next one is Origins #2-Kyra?

My February subscription order did not include Origins #1-Valeros. Should I expect it to arrive with the March order? If so, its not listed.

Same thing happen to me! I HOPE that it still shows up though!

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

I got mine via comixology.

When will the collected volume 3 be out in comixology?

So the exclusive cover of Valeros is Amari?

I think they're doing that for everyone.

I'm amused by Kevin Mack's one-star review, based on the last panel of the story. "Pathfinder Origins" is a SIX-part story. Stay tuned, is all I can say. :)

Personally, I hope the iconic characters do evolve and develop through the comic series (for better or worse - up to and including death).

I like the approach you take in APs and sourcebooks (where the world is pretty much "static" so it doesn't matter what order you incorporate the different books). I view the comics as different though - more as one, specific iteration of Golarion rather than a further addition to canon.

If every story arc ends with the iconics living happily ever after, I'm going to find it hard to keep caring about them, I suspect.

To be fair the inital hook that sets up the series made it sound like 6 stand alone tales. Also maybe ive miss read the final panel but that seemmed to indicate Amiri in the comics present so I can only assume the last book is some sort of tie all the loose threads together in the present type affair.

So in the meantime review removed.

The whole thing with Sheila Heidmarch is a framing device that weaves through the issues (subtly) and goes through to the last issue in the series (#6), which I also wrote, incidentally.

Okay, prediction registry -- which iconics are going to guest star in the upcoming issues?

I'm guessing that we're going to see Sajan teamed with Merisiel (CN acrobatic rogue teamed with LN acrobatic monk), Harsk teamed with Lini (there were some hints that the two of them were better acquainted than either was saying back in Pathfinder #4) and Lem teamed with Ezren in the final issue, which will hopefully tie up the loose ends of the previous five stories.
