Last year saw the release of Die by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Stephanie Hans.
In a hurry it can be described as "goth jumanji" and tells the story of a group of adults who return to the rpg game they were spirited away to for two years as teens.
Thematically it obviously has a lot to say about RPGs, Fantasy and storytelling and an accompanying RPG will be released by Kieron Gillen after issue 5 (because the rules might spoil some of the story).
So, I'm curious what others here think about it!
Personally I'm a rather big fan of Gillen's writing and I was intrigued enough to subscribe for the digital issues (I usually buy comics in collected editions). The artwork is just gorgeous, Hans is simply amazing.
I was especially impressed by issue #3. That was kind of a must have for any fans of Tolkein.
Yes! Issue #3 was layers upon layers I don't think I've even begun to properly unpack yet.
I also liked #4 a lot though, we got to know the characters a bit better, and I am very curious where
Mimski,
That relationship with Isabella and her abilities isn't quite laid out..but exploring them would be nice. Ash...is something for another dive.
