[QUOTE="Eyes of Nine, post: 9781890, member: 99786"] Just read [I]Tower Dungeon [/I]v 1&2. Quite good dark fantasy. v2 broadens the world, and brings in political intrigue, rival parties and creates a "home base". This literally feels like it could be a West Marches campaign. Princess taken by necromancer and the party has to make it to the top of an 1800 level (or meter? it wasn't clear) tower that's 3000m (1.86miles) across to rescue her? Tons of weird monsters that Tsutomu Nihei is known for. Art style is expressive, and let's the reader fill in gaps. My only complaint is that besides the protagonist, everyone else has shoulder length (within a decimeter or so) blond hair, so it's sometimes tough to separate the characters. Characters are a bit tropey - country bumpkin who is very strong is sent as the representative of his village to the "Bastion" that's the place that gets within a 2m gap of the base of the tower. He's the protagonist. Then other members of the party are a cranky fire magician and the leader an expert archer. Will keep reading, very much enjoying it.
