With the reworking of Paizo's subscriptions I noticed that the Pathfinder Comics subscription is no longer listed in my tags or on my account details page. Does that mean that the line is officially canceled and the age of Pathfinder Comics is over?

We're in the middle of shuffling some subscription things around; we've already announced some of the bigger changes, especially those surrounding Second Edition, but we have a few more things to communicate after we dot our i's and cross our t's. For the comics sub, we're not able to be very specific yet, but part of the message is that Dynamite is exploring a change of direction for future Pathfinder comics that doesn’t fit our current subscription model. So: not done—just changing.

Good to know, thanks!


THANK GOD I was stating to worry!

Are you expecting any of your other dormant lines (notably Pathfinder Tales) to come back to life any time soon?

Paizo Employee Chief Technical Officer

Not in the near future.


How about Pathfinder Legends?

Big Finish has no plans for future Pathfinder Legends audio dramas.


Disappointing, but not unexpected.


Comics: what's in the works Vic? I loved the Tarzan/Carter/Red Sonja crossover. Would love to see Conan join the fray at some point...

That's up to them to announce, and I currently have no idea when that might happen.

Given recent events, I'm not going to lie: as much as I would like to see the return of a Pathfinder Comics line, I'm not likely to give Dynamite Entertainment any more of my money.

Oh, what have I missed this time?

Oh, the usual, he said despairingly.

I am not big into online life, this website and maybe porn on reddit are the only things I follow regularly. Gamergate struck me as odd, I didn't hear of comicsgate until now. What is the issue here, exactly, and is it distinct from the gaming controversy?

It is distinct inasmuch as it is specifically comics-focused, and in that there was no single individual target at the group's inception. This covers the basics.

I first heard about them after the milkshake photo incident in 2017, but Gail Simone was tweeting about them and Dynamite - obliquely, and with an implied request for privacy - as recently as two weeks ago.

And by "two weeks ago" I apparently actually meant "yesterday."

I’m with Shisumo on this. I’d love to see the Comics return (and Tales), though not partnered with Dynamite.

Well, I hope this comes up at tomorrow's Paizo 2020 and Beyond or the Q&A.


Any news ref. Pathfinder Comics?

I'm not giving up! ...yet! :)

Don't give up! A poor little goblin alchemist who shall remain unnamed would be ever so sad if you did.


Come on say it. :)

I feel somewhat responsible for this subforum based on my previous suggestion for it. So I'm hoping it isn't gone.

I'm always a fan of more content. I'm not very good at reading books, the part of my brain that does visualizing doesn't work too well, so I prefer having visuals. So the Pathfinder comics have given me a good insight into Golarion.
