47. The Adventure Zone: The Eleventh Hour, by Clint McElroy and Carey Pietsch

Owned: Yes Page count: 344 My summary: Tres Horny Boys are back, and on the hunt for another artefact! This one warps time itself, which comes to bite our boys in the ass when they get stuck in a time loop. Dying every hour, on the hour, is no way to live. But what happens when they find the chalice might be worse... My rating: 3.5/5 My commentary:

Alright, I admit it. I've left this one a little late, it's old news now. I've been following the TAZ graphic novel adaptations - I really like TAZ, and seeing it in graphic novel form is pretty fun! But it took me a while to get round to this one. I said before that the Crystal Kingdom is probably my least favourite of the TAZ arcs, but Eleventh Hour is one I do not remember much of? I like it, don't get me wrong, but I don't remember it as well as the other ones. So if I miss something blindingly obvious in this post, it's for that reason. Anyway, this was a pretty fun book! It covered all the main plot beats of the Eleventh Hour, and it used its medium pretty well in my opinion.

This comic does a pretty good job adapting the story! From here on out, TAZ arcs start to get longer and longer, so obviously they have to make a few cuts in the interest of this book not being 1000 pages long. There are some good bits that get cut, but I'm not sure how many of them would have worked outside of an actual play podcast setting? Seeing more of Taako, Merle, and Magnus' trial and error in the cave is fun, but narratively it makes way more sense to do all of that as a montage. Plus, it keeps in my favourite bit - Merle doing the 'hello, my name is Elder Merle' thing - so I'm good. I was a little sad about how Ren's role got cut down, one of my other favourite bits is her being all 'OMG IT'S TAAKO' because the payoff at the end is great, but again, needed to cut some stuff or else this book would be 1000 pages. So that's fair.

What else? The art is great, as ever. I like how the more cartoony style can accentuate the comedy, as well as still being strong enough to carry the more dramatic or tragic plot elements. I liked the slightly greater focus on everyone's backstories, as well as the flashback moments when we see the Lunar Interludes content. And the way they handled the gang dying, with the chapter numbers climbing and climbing with every death, was a cool way to adapt it into a new medium. Overall, this is a pretty good adaptation of the original! And hoo boy, am I looking forward to the Suffering Game.

Next up...some skull-faced girls.

This was really fun to color, and now I’d love a TAZ coloring book to be real.

The Adventure Zone: Crystal Kingdom Vol. 4 ~ the McElroys and Carey Pietsch

The Adventure Zone: Crystal Kingdom Vol. 4 ~ the McElroys and Carey Pietsch

Rating: 5/5 Lots of character development, lots to enjoy in this series. At times, The Crystal Kingdom felt a bit more chaotic and, despite containing more information, slower than the others in the series, but overall I still really enjoyed the book. Starting with Candlenights, a McElroy brothers’ classic holiday event, and quickly evolving into their standard search and recover mission to…

Now that I’ve seen the cover for the upcoming taz novel, I once again ponder whether or not they will continue after Balance is finished

They may not and that’s okay, but it would be so dope if they did Amnesty too! (And that’s not just because I’m biased because Amnesty’s my favorite)

Imagine for a moment just how ✨gorgeous✨ an Amnesty novel would be! Sylvain and then all those trees! So many night scenes! THE LODGE!!!

I really wanna see Carey’s takes on the characters. I wanna see her Indrid, her Barclay, her Mama, everyone!

With each new volume, I am consistently so impressed with the TAZ graphic novels from an adapational perspective. Eleventh Hour is a long arc, with a lot of material to cover, and they managed to not only seamlessly trim it without sacrificing an ounce of its charm, but also add depth to the existing characters (that first conversation with Ren!!! I could write a whole mini essay on that conversation alone) while smoothly integrating additional material from the interludes into the main story a diagetic and meaningful way. I'm just so impressed, it's such a great example of storytelling and adaptation and working to your medium. It's so well made. I can't wait for Suffering Game

#taz #the adventure zone #taz balance #i just love these books #i'm so glad they exist #the art is so expressive! I felt so many emotions in the Julia sequence in Eleventh Hour it was insane #like more than I felt listening to that segment in the podcast insane #i swear you can also carey pietsch improving as an artist over the course of the series and it is so cool #oh and don't get me started on the taako and kravitz tweaks! #crystal kingdom was impressive to begin with in its trimming of a very long arc #but the additional time and attention paid to building out that relationship is just so perfect #just enough extra time to round it out #not so much that it ever threatens to muddle the story or feel like pandering #ANYWAY you should read the taz graphic novels they're very good

[goatsghost]

excited for the taz eleventh hour graphic novel bc we’ll finally get to see magnus’ dream dressing room scene with carey, killian, and noelle judging everyone’s new desert looks

#also taako’s skirt??????? cannot wait #I still think it’s crazy that carey pietsch has a character named after them AND gets to draw them all #that’s insane I love that #and for her to be such a main character (without being like. one of the birds or smth) that’s amazing #taz #taz balance #mine
