This was a bit short. The story wasn’t self contained, which means picking up another volume if I want to finish the story. Not sure I will. Drizzt’s companion here isn’t too exciting. The dwarf is kind of interesting though.Sigh. Guess I’ll just wait for the Drizzt novel I ordered online 😔
A tropey short-story about a battlerager turned vampire requires not only a deeper knowledge of the dark-elf hero and his friends, but also about the placement of this story in the D&D lore. While not amazingly bad, the naked-girl-fights-monsters trope is really tiresome, and all women are portrayed with gonflated breasts and butt-cheeks. The story is thin, although it had a lot of potential. The only reason to push onwards is to reach the illogical finale of the story. Characters feel nothing,
A comic book set during the time of THE NEVERWINTER SAGA books of The Legend of Drizzt. Those used to the more classic Drizzt Do'Urden where he's traveling with Cattie Brie, Bruenor, or Wulfgar will be disappointed. It's also not really about Drizzt, though, but his book companion Pwent. He's a dwarvish battleranger (berserker) who has been transformed into a vampire and is dealing with the thirst. Accompanying Drizzt is Dahlia Sin'Felle, a beautiful female elf who is kinda-sorta evil but Drizzt...
It’s been eons since I’ve read any of the Drizzit novels, but I liked them in my teen years. When I saw an amazing cover for this graphic novel, I pick it up. The art is very good – if you ignore the fact that the only female character has the typical comic book gravity defying boobs of doom and is traveling in a skimpy outfit in the cold woods just so we can all see her melon-sized boobs of doom. (one day comic books are going to move past this, some seventy years of evidence to the contrary).
Great artwork and a good story.
Nothing happened.It had a barely imaginative plot that just went from A to B, and B made no sense. The artwork was confusing - sometimes I felt I was looking at nothing more than a splurge of ink. The skill and style varied wildly - Drizzt looked different in almost every frame. It makes me think that someone is trying to copy Mignola.And utterly failing.
The story covers Drizzt meeting with one of his dead dwarven friends who has been turned into a vampire. Great artwork and a real good story.
The most fun I've had reading a Drizzt adventure in years, with art that really suited the tone and the world. I wish there were more of these!
Ah way to short, wonderful graphics, not so great lettering. If you are a fan of D & D then do not miss this one.
Great story. Art was inconsistent at times, but the colorist did such a fine job making the characters pop off of the page. Presentation was perfect. At first it seemed awkward reading a graphic novel that was as big as a D&D sourcebook, but when I opened to the first double-page spread I wad amazed. Very high quality for a graphic novel.There is a bonus adventure at the end of the book. The background image makes the text very difficult to read. The adventure is straightforward and follows the
For a quick read this graphic novel packed quite a punch. I liked the tortured vampire storyline. I never knew for sure if he would succumb to his lust for blood. The art was fantastic. The story sort of abruptly ended. I would have liked to see more finality to the ending.
Loved it! Continuation story of Drizz't and Dahlia after the events of Gauntlgrym and possibly Neverwinter.I've read Gauntlgrym and recognize all the characters, but some of the relationships seem to be more advanced than what I remember them being so I think to get the full picture you need to read Gauntlgrym and Neverwinter before this one.But basically here Pwent comes back very, very changed and he crosses paths with Drizz't and Dahlia and the old friends need to make some hard choices.But I...
Decent story, that is actually more about one of Drizzt's ex-companions who has been turned into a vampire, but still has his spiky armor. So it's a bit silly, but enjoyable for a D&D adventure done as a comic. The artwork is nice, but it also suffers because of the typical depiction of female characters in skimpy clothes relative to the clothes of the male characters, and ridiculously exaggerated bodies. Because of that, I'm not sure I can hand this one off to my nephews.
Standard R.A. Salvatore Biased Review Caveat: Bob Salvatore is one of my favorite authors and has been for 20 years; he’s also, amongst the writers I’ve had the good fortune to meet and/or interview, one of the nicest and most generous with his time. So, any book that has his name on the cover gets an extra bump up the review scale compared to if the same book had been written by someone not named Bob Salvatore.Without the context of the books in this series, this stand-alone story would be more...
The very last of the Humble Bundle that I read and a perfectly adequate, though not very interesting, story, apparently tied to another story about Drizzt.Though, when I say adequate, I might also add somewhat ridiculous in its cheesecake art about the main female character.To sum up this experiment, I much prefer the classic comics, though even they have some rough parts, especially when they feel like advertisements for other things: "Like Forgotten Realms? Then try Spelljammer!" might as well...
This comic book/graphic novel is part of the Neverwinter Tales, between Gauntlgrym and Neverwinter. I have never read either one, in fact I picked this up to review because I was familiar with Dungeons and Dragons in one form or another but I had no idea I missed an entire series out there. This was interesting. I wouldn’t mind picking up the Neverwinter Tales. There’s not a lot of story in this first issues, which is common in comics. A dwarf wakes up after a great battle to find he is the only...
The subject and prospects of this story were pretty exciting. I thought the dialogue, especially that of Drizzt and Dahlia, was really poor. It was really a teaser, more than anything. I just finished Neverwinter, book 2 of the Neverwinter Saga, and I'm about to start Charon's Claw, book 3. I was under the impression this took place between the two, so I'm hoping the story plays out to a satisfying conclusion in the novel.
Add a star and read it if you wanna know what happened to vampire Pwent after Drizzt and Dahlia leave him into the cave in Salvatore's "The last threshold" novel.If you are not a Drizzt diehard fan you can just skip it.(view spoiler)[The gravity-defying cleavage count in this comic is just off-scale...

This was a decent look into the ventures of the Neverwinter series. A lot was left out that I think would have been important to include to clue the reader in a bit more, but I understand you can only squeeze in so much into so few pages. Can we discuss Drizzt's mullet, though?
Salvatore doesn't pretend to be a literary genius, this is D&D adventure through and through. I don't think I'd enjoy it in a novel form, but the art here is great and in the graphic novel form the combination of art and story really works a treat.
