The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited #2
| Writer | Clint McElroy, Justin McElroy, Griffin McElroy |

| Cover Price | $19.99 |
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. 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 more

Jul 16, 2019If you're looking for a fully immersive, no-frills high fantasy tale, this won't necessarily be the right book for you, but if you're in the market for something a little more light-hearted Murder on the Rockport Limited will deliver. Murder on the Rockport Limited is just flat-out fun, and though you'll want to be familiar with the first graphic novel Here There Be Gerblins before diving in or risk spoilers, the McElroys and Carey Pietsch have done an impeccable job creating a engrossing and accessible world for anyone whose bookshelves are in need of a playful summer pick-me-up.

Dec 27, 2020The overall vibe of this volume is quite a bit different from the first given the setting of the train. There are many nods to murder-mysteries like Christie, but there are still some really fun fantasy/magic elements. The humor still delivers as it did in the first volume, complete with the buttinsky DM trying to control things and pointing out flaws in plans. Takko continues to be my favorite character because he's so dang funny! He's a kleptomaniac, which lands him into problems often, but he can smooth talk his way out of almost everything. He does mercilessly taunt other characters, like one of the train's employees who has ineffectively allotted his spell slots to useless things. Overall, I don't mind the change in mood from the first volume, and I'm interested to see where the third volume takes the "heroes." Read Full Review
