Pathfinder: Wake the Dead #1

by Fred Van Lente, Eman Casallos (Artist)

New creative team! New party of Iconics! New lands of Golarion to explore! The tantalizing prospect of a rendezvous with a Geb defector in possession of priceless secrets from that undead nation brings a diverse group of adventurers to the Nexian metropolis of Ecanus. When they find themselves cornered by the city's remorseless Deathsealers, can the Iconics band together for survival—and escape a city full of hostile wizards alive? Get this debut issue with a unique, hand-drawn Ken Haeser sketch cover!
