Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks Series 1 #1

by Greg Pak, Raúl Angulo (Colorist), Wilton Santos (Artist)

In a time of fickle gods and feckless governors, the world yearns for heroes! But what it gets are the Fallbacks - a party of daring, dubious, and dysfunctional adventurers who arrive in the city of Loudwater in search of gold and glory. But an encounter with kobold thieves puts the Fallbacks in the crosshairs of a rival team of deeply annoying local heroes. Will the Fallbacks pull off a heist for the ages? Or will they sacrifice it all to put these “heroes” in their place?

• The Fallbacks, stars of Jaleigh Johnson’s Dungeons and The Bound for Ruin, make their first appearance in comics!

[Norrin Shearer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is great! Pak captures the personalities of the Fallbacks very well here. They feel very true to the way Johnson writes them in the novels. I really hope we can get more of these comics, a miniseries isn’t enough, I want a full Fallbacks ongoing series PLEASE, I love these goofy heroes.
