(Minor spoiler warnings for VM01 – and Critical Role Campaign 1).
The show is wonderfully easy to get into, and I have to admit I was surprised by how VM01 captures its spirit and distills that into printed form. Needless to say, Critical Role will be around for the foreseeable future, and although jumping onto a bandwagon bearing the weight of 115 episodes racking up more than 373 hours of viewing/listening might sound overwhelming, it’s really not. It’s gone from strength to strength in its short lifetime, starting out on Geek & Sundry’s YouTube channel, before setting up shop in its own studio, and then going on to break multiple Kickstarter records where it ultimately raised over $11.3 million to produce an animated ‘special’ which became a series…and then more! Amazon later picked up the series, with merchandise deals following thereafter. And then some.Ĭritical Role – for those that don’t know – is a show in which a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors (their words, not mine) play Dungeons & Dragons.
#Vox machina origins series 1 full
Written by D&D dungeon master Matthew Mercer and Matt Colville, and with incredible artwork from Olivia Samson and colourist Chris Northrop, VMO1 is the full package. Review: Vox Machina Origins Volume 1 (VMO1) is an omnibus of the first six issues of the graphic novel that goes by the same name. Humour, heart, and a heavy right hook of action = check, check, check. The Ugly Truth: Vox Machina Origins is a triple-threat treat to fans new, old, and uninitiated. The Bad: If you’ve never seen Critical Role before, especially campaign 1, this might not have the same ring of nostalgia, but that’s not really a bad thing – it’s just another reason why you should watch it! I might be a little biased as a fan of the show (Critical Role), but Vox Machina Origins is so much more than a ‘companion’ to the series, offering a little something for everyone. The Good: Art, story, characters, all of it gets 5 stars from me.
