The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of PATHFINDER SPECIAL #1 (2013) from Dynamite Entertainment. Jim Zub writes, Kevin Stokes draws
and Mohan colors.
The team has traveled to the city of Magnimar . It’s very late and they’ve gotten
accommodations, but Merisiel just can’t manage to rest until she’s seen the
sights. Dragging a very unwilling Kyra along with her, she makes the
“adventurer in the city” rounds. And needless to say, they find adventure,
along with a link to Meri’s past.
This special issue is entirely character driven, and it
obviously focuses on Merisiel and Kyra. They’re in the beginning stages of a
relationship, and they’re also dramatically different people (as evidenced by
Meri’s night-owl ways and Kyra’s dawn-god priesthood). We learn some things
about both characters in this book, and they learn about each other.
It’s really cool to see Zub handle the characters like this,
in a way that he couldn’t get away with in the main title. I admit I’m a huge
fan of his work, but even a non-fan would have to admit that this is really
good writing. New reader or old, you won’t be disappointed.
PATHFINDER SPECIAL #1 (2013) is available now at your FLCS
and online at dynamite.com.
