In the second Adventure Zone graphic novel (adapted from the McElroy family's wildly popular
D&D podcast) we rejoin hero-adjacent sort-of-comrades-in-arms Taako Magnus and Merle on a
wild careen through a D&D railroad murder mystery. This installment has a little of
everything: a genius child detective an axe-wielding professional wrestler a surly wizard
cursed magical artifacts and a pair of meat monsters. You know the usual things you find on
a train. Hot on the heels of The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins the smash hit
graphic novel that launched the series The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited!
picks up the saga where volume 1 left off. Both books are based on "The Adventure Zone " a
tabletop RPG comedy podcast with downloads numbering in the tens of millions and an army of
passionately devoted fans. With art and co-adaptation from Carey Pietsch the McElroys are once
again turning their raucous freewheeling D&D campaign into some damn fine comics.
