DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: FORTUNE FINDER No. 3, January 2024 |
Furthermore, the two hunters provide the Animex Honorary Award-winner with plenty of opportunities to tell a genuinely intriguing tale packed full of murder, mystery, and humorous altercations without him having to resort to the persistent amnesiac, Finder, once again aimlessly pottering around the “floating city in the centre of the Outlands” in a desperate effort to regain their lost memory once more. This penmanship should genuinely draw in even the most disinterested of bibliophiles, as the amateur detectives bribe, barter and utilise every lucky break in the book, to track down the magical energy which they fear will soon tear “the fabric of reality itself”, and become inadvertently embroiled in Maddyknack the Hag’s desperate desire to own an enigmatic shard of power.
Helping to add plenty of exasperation to Bran’s face whenever he's dealing with the political red tape of Sigil and its corrupt officials, as well as imbue the mortician with all the ponderous, sloth-like movement one might expect of a creature inhabiting the partially-shelled body of a Tortle, is Jose Jaro. The artist appears equally as adapt at portraying emotion as he is at sketching the action-packed antics of this comic’s quite considerable cast once they all simultaneously realise just who the latest physical incarnation of the living crystal is. Whilst, alongside colorist Adam Guzowski, they also do a good job in depicting all the previously slain shard personalities, as the blue-hued spirits run as one towards the next hapless being selected to be their host; “Wait a sec, I’m juggling? That must mean I’m a … Juggler. Trying to keep it all in the air so nothing bad will happen.”
