3.5/5

It was a good one, but way too short.

[Sheila]

4 stars. Great art, beloved characters.

[April Rose]

Yaaay!

This is fun! The main party is finally, finally all together but most importantly TRINKET!! Gotta love that bear. Looking forward to the next one.

I wish I knew the Druids name but i literally can't remember it, but i kind of ship her and Vex togther. Like She said she kind of looks up to Vex and I'm here for it. and the bonding that they were doing while on the way to get the bear, got me thinking this could be something, though i hope it does turn into something.
This seems like the type of story that would have lgbt characters but also not really, just have it in the subplot, kind of hope it's not just in the subplot. Kind of hope the druid elven girl doesn't end up with Vax for something dumb. Like a rushed type of thing that's in a lot of stories now a days. No hate but it gets tiring. Like this is also giving me rwby vibes and I am obsessed with rwby, and i know it's being made rushed and it's not as good as it used to be but we the audience gets tired of things that are just made for the sake of pleasing the people instead of having good plot, and this series looks like it has good plot.
I really like it so far, and I like the found family trope that's going on. overall i think it's good, cute all that Jazz.
Vax is kind of badass, like in a sexy slick assassin type of way not gonna lie. And i'm definitly here for that.

All coming together

Everyone is together now! We got backstory on the girls and especially more into Vex and Vax. Great battle scene and wonderful writing. And OMG the cutest damn picture I have seen in a comic! I love it!

Fantastic

More from the tales of Vox Machina. The artistic style and colour are perfect and the characterisation of the band of adventurers us Critters know and love is spot on, and if it wasn't... well....trust me we would know.

THIS WAS FREAKING INCREDIBLE AND I WANT MORE. 6 SHORT ISSUES ARE NOT ENOUGH TO FILL MY VOX MACHINA CRAVING YOU GUYS.

ALSO, I AM ALREADY DYING TO READ THE LAST ISSUE AND THIS ONE BARELY EVEN CAME OUT. HOW WILL I SURVIVE UNTIL THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT?

DAMN.

Vax tries to escape from the green lady, while Vex with Keyleth in tow, retrieves Trinket. They then meet back up with Tiberius, Scanlan and Grog. The drawings and colours continue to be amazing, and the story is gripping.

First Three Pairs Now Six Adventurers

The three pairs have now come together to form an adventuring party with a goal to save a city. I am looking forward to seeing how they go about it.

Everything but the name

Good color artwork. Wish there was 8 more pages of it. Prime video is showing a hot new anime series based off this book. The team is really coming together and getting a purpose.

[Rainer]

Good continuation.

The ending of this volume was cool! Also I really like characterization of everybody, feel like this volume in particular managed it well!

[JD Veer]

Great story! This one was the best (so far), but the 4 before set it up great!

[Lauren Stratton]

Keyleth's imagine spot was the best tho.

[James Bono]

Loved It

Loved the story and the artwork. Critical Role Campaign One was awesome, and this prequel series is worth the price of the comics.

[Todd]

Awesome

Vax is a badass. Vex is more of a softie than I would have thought with that bear though X)

[Corinnagoodwin]

love, love, love!

[Lori Chaffin]

Once again best thing ever!

Oh my I love learning the back story and the art is amazing!
Don't miss any of these ...a must read and re-read!

[Lawrence Lawson]

Much, much better than the first four in this arc. Ensures I’ll come back for number 6.

[Mrs. Brim]

Well-structured & controlled storytelling! Love the juxtaposed plots & their convergence.

[Nikolis Asimakis]

Vax is kidnapped and Vex tries to find help in order to save him. Some good character development takes place and the team finally comes together!

[James]

Great rogue escape from prison.

[E.W. Pierce]

Picking up steam as we head into the conclusion. The uniting of the group feels natural and satisfying.
