The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of PATHFINDER: WORLDSCAPE #1 from Dynamite Entertainment. Erik Mona writes, Jonathan Lau draws,
Omi Remalante colors, and Simon Bowland letters.
One minute the Pathfinder team is fighting a monster
underneath the city, and the next they find themselves waking up, separated and
on another world. Valeros wakes up surrounded, and fights his way out of that
into another fight, which eventually lands him in the arena of the Empress
Camilla. The Empress holds a tournament to choose her champion, and Valeros is
battling Red Sonja when he discovers something strange.
There’s a lot going on here, and Valeros (on whom the issue
is focused) is missing much of it. But he’s not really the thinker of his party
of adventurers, so once you realize that, things start falling into place. The
combat scenes (which take up most of the issue) are beautifully drawn, and
there are enough hints of other worlds and other characters (the white apes of
Barsoom, for example) to make me want to read more.
I’m not usually all that hot on crossovers, but there have
really been a string of fascinating ones lately. The worlds that this one
touches on have enough in common that I think this will prove to be a good one.
