A skeleton, an apprentice mage, and an exiled princess walk into a bar… for another shift at Quests Aside, the local watering hole run by once legendary, now retired, adventurer Barrow.

When the King privately explains that he plans to shut the place down, Barrow must find a way to hold onto his business, the friendships, and the family he’s built around it.

It’s always sunny in the realms!

Collects the entire, best-selling 5-issue series!

Reviews:

“…it’s like Cheers set in the world of Ralph Bakshi’s 1978 Lord of the Rings adaptation.” — Publishers Weekly

“Quests Aside … has a made-for-TV vibe.” — AIPT

“A fine mix of humor and drama.” – Major Spoilers

“Magic, situational comedy, and camaraderie blend into a whimsical fantasy…” — Publishers Weekly

“Beautiful looking, voiced with riotous confidence, Quests Aside boasts one of the best core concepts I’ve seen in recent high fantasy. I’m furious that I didn’t think of it.” — Si Spurrier (The RUSHHellblazerThe DreamingX-Men)

 

Why Should You Read This?

The first in a series, this book was the perfect gateway to get introduced to the various characters in the series. I could connect with Barrow and was rooting for him throughout the book.

The illustrations are eye-catching, and I loved the font and colors used in the comic. It is a perfect fit for people who love their comics as quick reads.
