KREM, DORIAN I LELIANA W TYM SAMYM KOMIKSIE???
Bro i'm so happy to see them

Lot's of things to love: Dorian! Who is very...Dorian in speech and appearance. Krem and the Chargers! Krem doesn't look much like Krem IMHO, but sounds like him; then Dalish and her "bow" - and of course, another cliffhanger, can't wait for the next issue.

Tessa and Marius are working for the Inquisition in earnest. I really love the characters and wish they were part of the game! Dorian, Krem, and Leliana appear in this issue. It's good to see some familiar faces. The entire comic was about a mission for the Inquisition, but I'm still left to wonder about the Tevinter archon who wants Marius and Tessa dead. There's just one volume to go, and I'll be disappointed if they don't wrap up the plot they started with.

Forgot I enjoyed this series so much I preordered issues from the comic shop actually

[Holly · Rating 5 out of 5]

If all you hear from me regarding this issue is distant screaming, that's actually a very good thing because Dorian Pavus makes his appearance and so does Krem and we all know (well, I guess we all don't know) how I feel about my children. Still, I'm bouncing in my seat because my babies are here and they're getting shit done.

Also, unrelated, I'm enjoying the pace of the plot and what it's revealing, but I almost do wish that it was a little longer – just to see more depth be given to the characters and for there to be more development. I know that's a lot to ask from a tie-in comic, but I can have my hopes and dreams. Still, at least the writing is very solid and delightful, along with some very nice art. Though, one thing I will say: It's definitely a comic that's only really going to have any payoff for those already invested in the Dragon Age series.

Plot wise: Not much ?

Tessa flirts with Charter via raven message (cute), Marius ad Tessa meet up with Bull's Chargers and Dorian ((AHHHHHH!!! DORIAN <3)) and they destroy a venatori encampment/free some slaves. There's some Marius-Dorian bro bonding which was cool. ( Marius doesn't hate mages/tevinter mages surprisingly enough.)

( There's also a Cullen and Josephine cameo <333)

But the pace is picking up and WE GET TO SEE BULL'S CHARGERS AGAIN!!!!!!! ( Also Dalish's use of magic = confirmed despite her continuous insistences that IT'S A BOW NOT A STAFF ( spoiler alert it's actually both lol))



Tessa and Marius return to Skyhold afterwards.
Leliana appears.
Cue the cliffhanger

[Maree · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would 100 per cent read an entire series of Dorian and the Chargers. Great addition :)

Yasss

It's so fun to read things in the Dragon Age universe AND it's a pleasure when the illustrations are bright and snappy. It really brings the universe alive.

[Solace Winter · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was good, it's going somewhere, the artwork is lovely, but I still don't get why I care about any of these people.

[Chris Conley · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a good story, but I can't imagine people who haven't played through Inquisition truly appreciating some of the characters.
