- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2011I've been waiting for a comic to capture the way I wish my Dungeons and Dragons campaigns would go. The voice captured within this comic is fun, witty and appropriate. The art is excellent and detailed. Some of the art is so detailed that some of the sequential panels, especially with Bree the rogue and her "D&D Like" moves, tell a story themselves.
I highly recommend this book to any lover of fantasy, any one who played AD&D, lovers of D&D, or wished they could find people to play D&D.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2011John Rogers and Andrea Di Vito bring to life an adventure that showcases the best aspects of a DnD adventure. Each step of the story is a blend of character, humor, and pell-mell encounters with a whose-who of fantasy aggressors. I find myself mentally tallying skill checks, encounter powers, critical hits, and what my DM calls "critical successes" or 1s.
I find the story inspiring, and it makes me yearn to start a game of my own, and the hardback offers some interesting fodder to build encounters for my own epic story.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2016I remembered comics being longer for some reason. Enjoyed the story and characters were plain but likeable. I like the digital format because I wouldn't have bought this in the standard format due to space issues.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022A fun and quick read plus a glimpse into the world of 4E D&D, an era when we saw something besides the Remembered Realms / the Sword Coast
- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2013First of all, I just want to say that I love how these comics are designed to look like game manuals, although you might find yourself accidentally losing your copies from mis-shelving!
The story is light, fun, and very reminiscient of actually playing D&D. My only regret is that there is not more.
The art quality does become wildly inconsistent in a few pages in the series, which is unfortunate, but I don't think it is worth turning aside for just that. The story is solid and amusing.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2022There was an interesting storyline and some decent characters. Maybe I missed something but to me it seemed as though the story made some weird jumps that didn't quite fit together.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2019This is an excellent series, full of the fantastical adventures you'd expect from a D&D comic but with razor sharp wit and memorable characters. Fell's Five are worth spending time with!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2023In the best way. The jokes and chatter back and forth are great and reminiscent of many tabletop games from years past. Highly recommended.

Johnny EnglishReviewed in the United Kingdom on May 28, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
I picked by chance. Thought it would be a standard dungeons and dragons story. So much more! Think guardians of the galaxy in style with action, humour, great story and artwork.

C JenningsReviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 20244.0 out of 5 stars Good read
First D&D comic I've read and it was quite enjoyable. Fast paced and entertaining, it must have been good as I want to know what happens next so I'm off to get volume 2 now.
