In comic shops, bookstores and online stores the first volume of the Italian edition of the comic adaptation of the epic Dungeons & Dragons campaign mastered by Matthew Mercer, Critical Role. A streaming phenomenon with millions of views, the story of the six aspiring heroes come to life on paper thanks to the inspired hand of Matthew Colville on the screenplay and Olivia Samson on the drawings for an adaptation that has received great critical and public acclaim in the United States.
In Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins 1, the band of adventurers known as Vox Machina will save the world. Sooner or later. But they must have left somewhere, right? The paths of six aspiring heroes engaged in seemingly different missions will end up crossing in the swampy town of Stilben, where something shady is happening. The six will have to band together (sort of) to figure out what's going on... and avoid killing each other in the process. But, even if by some miracle they managed to collaborate, it doesn't mean that those truly responsible for Stilben's misfortunes are enemies within their reach!
“ Critical Role is a phenomenon that has fascinated many role-playing players online, and not only, all over the world.” Says Daniel de Filippis, Communications Manager of Edizioni BD and J-POP Manga. “As a player I can say that perhaps one of the secret dreams of each of us is to see our RPG campaigns transposed into comics, at the cinema, on TV... and Critical Role is precisely this, a multimedia phenomenon which in its comic version will enthrall not only fans of the series or role-playing game lovers, but also fantasy readers who will find here a beautiful and entertaining story told with heart and experience.”
