Great writing, great art, AND a callback to the 1e PHB?

AWESOME!

With Rogers and Reynolds on board, they might have themselves a winner.

Hmmm...

Elf ranger, halfing rogue, tiefling warlock (or possibly wizard, sorcerer or some other arcane spellcaster), dwarf fighter (judging from the splint mail) and human warlord (judging from the chain mail and shield)?

If so, the party seems quite martial-heavy.

 

[tenkar]

Damn! That might wind up pretty cool.

 

[Ghostwind]

I just may have to pick this up after all.

Wow, what a supremely stereotypical party. Human in charge, dwarf hammer warrior worshipping Moradin and horable, elf ranger with a bow and twin blades (at least they're axes, I guess), halfling rogue who's only concerned with the loot, and I suppose tiefling arcane character (probably warlock) is 4E's new stereotype. Plus, gnoll slavers!

The dialogue really, really doesn't help.

I suppose that's what you get if you try to make a "D&D comic", though.

Nothing wrong with a heavily martial party. One of the virtues of D&D 4E is how you can have a viable party from a single power source as a neat way to introduce a theme. You really only lack a good controller with Martial and a warlock is a fun way to bring one in, especially as they discover her as a captive and not as part of the original group.

I know, isn't it great!

*Does the polar bear happy dance!*

Seems pretty bland to me, but I guess they are aiming at a wide and (maybe) younger audience. I remember the DL 'graphic novels' losing a lot of the nastiness that was in the books, and there wasn't much of that! (remember Raistlin raising as his Staff in honour of Goldmoon's quest, WTF?).

Still I may pick these up, if able, cos I think my boys would like them (max age 6).

What is the distribution model for them? Paper only? On iPhone or whatever? Anyone know?

I have to say it brought a smile to my face.

They really have captured 'DND' in a comic, I might bite for some chuckles - whole reason for reading comics IMO.
