The Adventure Zone: The Crystal Kingdom by Griffin McElroy, Clint McElroy, Carey Pietsch, Travis McElroy, Justin McElroy
5.0
The illustrations by Carey Pietsch are absolutely brilliant. Every time I turned the page I was in awe of her work. Her visualizations are so suited to the story that these guys have created. This arc of The Adventure Zone: Balance was the most difficult one for me to visualize, but with Pietsch's artwork everything made much more sense.
While they, unfortunately, had to exclude so much of the arc to fit what was necessary into a single graphic novel, they did it well. Once I picked it up, I didn't put it down. I was thoroughly captivated. When I finished, I was pleasantly surprised that Pietsch included pages on how she illustrated everything from the cover to the characters and environments. Thank you, Pietsch, because I was questioning that the entire way through.
