Lo que parecia que iba a ser una simple historia de un grupo de gente que acaba en un mundo de fantasia jugando a rol, se convierte en una deconstrucción del genero fantastico y de los juegos de rol en si mismos. Una meta historia que descompone los tropos de ambos mundos (rol y las historias de genero) y crea un mundo autoreferencial ideal para sentirse como un adolescente de nuevo pero con toda la oscuridad y profundidad de una historia adulta. Y sobre hacerse adulto y las fantasias de cada uno habla este primer tomo. ( ) Die is a pitch-black fantasy where a group of forty-something adults have to deal with the returning, unearthly horror they just survived as teenage role-players. It's a deliciously dark Phantom Tollbooth/Jumanji like journey that is heartbreaking, frightening, and entertaining. It's also a deconstruction of the roots of RPGs (that explores the perceived dangers of fantasy as escapism). The artwork but Stephanie Hans is absolutely stunning - being dark and vibrant simultaneously. I really can't say enough about this graphic novel except GO READ IT NOW. Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely the bones of a good story there; one full of intrigue, epic battles of good vs evil, and engaging, diverse characters. I just had a difficult time cheering on our heroes when they were people I didn’t feel connected to, moving through places and events I didn’t care much about.

I went into my reading without any background and was very quickly interested in realizing the "die" title wasn't about death, about the dice in Dungeon's & Dragons (even though the title quickly leads you into the double entendre about the fact it very much means both, and 'murder.') This story is still rambling around a lot in my head. I was really surprised by both time jumps, and that the second was as large as it was. I love the 'gaes' and how it worked in the real world vs. the game world. I loved the art in a number of places. I loved the play with gender and sexuality in multiple places. I'm uncertain I would consider this a favorite (or as hugely, instantly necessary to my life as *Wicked Divine* made itself), but I'm definitely going to be adding this series to my pull list. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
