Adventure Zone Volume 3 Petals to the Metal by Clint McElroy

by 5 Comments

When I first started my graphic novel journey, I found First Second publishers. Then, in my madness to read all that had been written by authors from this publisher (which by the way I don’t recommend as there are too damn many!) I found The Adventure Zone by The McElroy’s (Clint, Griffin, Travis and Justin) and illustrated by Carey Pietsch. In many ways this third book in the Adventure Zone series (which is called Petals to the Metal if you are curious) is not as […]

It’s the Podcast but in Color!

The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins by Clint McElroy, Griffin McElroy, Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy, Carey Pietsch

Ah TAZ, I can’t believe it’s only been a bit over a year since I finished the first arc. For those unfamiliar, The Adventure Zone podcast or, TAZ as it’s known to its fans, is the McElroy Brothers, (Justin, Travis and Griffin) and their father (Clint) playing D&D. The story they create in the first installment of the series, Here There Be Gerblins, is yer basic go-there-get-the-thing quest. Standard D&D stuff. That is a woefully reductive description of a storytelling experience that was so magical that I wish I could erase it out […]

All Aboard for Part Two

The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited! by Clint McElroy

by Leave a Comment

The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited! is still written by the McElroy’s (Clint, Griffin, Justin and Travis) and still amusing. The bad puns are bad and the innuendos even worse. This time, the story is a smidgen predictable (after all the three main characters return from book one, here in book two). You know that Merle, Magnus and Taako will screw around, goof up, accidentally get a magic spell or two right, drink booze (occasionally tea), play their role-playing game, interrupted by the DM […]

Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins by Clint McElroy

#cbr11bingo #And So it Begins This is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I was not even half way through the first chapter when something hit me as so FREAKING (only I really did not say freaking) funny I laughed so hard, I hurt myself. Yes. The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins caused me physical pain. Darn you Clint, Griffin, Justin, and Travis McElroy. And darn you Carey Pietsch for encouraging this team by illustrating their podcast in this graphic novel series! You might […]

The Best Podcast Ever Gets a Book

The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins by Clint McElroy, Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy, Griffin McElroy, and Carey Pietsch

So, first things first. If you don’t know the wonder that is the McElroys, go fix that now. Get a podcast app, listen to ALL of My Brother, My Brother, and Me (that’s right, all of it), and then listen to all of The Adventure Zone. The McElroys are the funniest dudes around, and The Adventure Zone is a podcast in which Justin, Travis, and Griffin (the three McElroy brothers) play Dungeons & Dragons with their dad, Clint. This book is adapted from their first […]
