Pathfinder #10 Review

Betrayal, redemption, and more await. Read on.

Description:

“When the Pathfinder adventurers are hired to scare away bandits who’ve taken over the abandoned outpost prison called Raven’s Watch, they get a lot more than they bargained for. It’s a trap!
The hit comic series based on Paizo’s incredible award-winning fantasy world, fiction line and tabletop RPG continues! Sword & sorcery fans and gamers alike will enjoy this latest chapter from Paizo Publishing and Dynamite.”

This issue is great. I will really try not to spoil anything but I can’t make promises because I have a lot of questions. First off, the issue starts with our hero’s who have become shamed by the town that they were protecting. However, when someone offers them a way for redemption, they take it which leads to a trap. It is an exciting issue in the Pathfinder series and it really makes me wonder who betrayed our hero’s. Also, a new relationship seems to heat up a little and become know in the company of hero’s, which is superexciting.

Jim Zub does a great job of continuing the story of the Pathfinder group. It sets up for an interesting arch in the already, exciting story. I couldn’t read the panels quickly enough to find out what was coming up. I thought it was cool how the two women that have a relationship together are slowly developing it, without it being a focus in the comic. I feel that when a character is LGBT it is focused on too much and really makes it a spectacle rather than inclusion into the world. In the end, Zub did a great job with characters, story, and mystery.

The art is great too. I really enjoy the style that Sean Izaakse uses for this comic. I feel that it is something that people don’t get enough of when looking at comics. It is comic book drawing but it’s something that people can really take away from too appreciating the time and energy that went into it.

Overall, I give it a 4.5 out of 5. I think the only that could have made it better would be a longer comic.
