#Blaugust2019 Day 29 -- Dun Rolled and Dun Told

Yesterday I took time during my lunch break to head down to my favorite comic book store and look for the brand new Rolled & Told release.  It was pretty crowded over by the comics since a lot of new comics dropped yesterday and rather than fight the 4 people in front of the new comics section for positioning, I dropped by the D&D section of the store and looked around there at what they had to offer. Not only that, my comic book shop sometimes also puts the Rolled & Told back with their D&D stuff . . . but not yesterday.

After things had cleared out a bit I made my way over and found the newest as it proudly proclaimed on the cover . . . HERE THERE BE GRANDMAS!  I love you rolled and told.

The cover was soft as ever . . . ohmigosh I love the feel of the cover of Rolled & Told. They made such a good choice on paper stock.

While I was there I glanced over and saw another interesting comic called "The Necromancer's Map," and even better it was issue 1. HUH?!  OK!  I mean, that totally sounds like a comic that the Friendly Necromancer would read, correct?

As it turns out, that's exactly the type of comic a friendly necromancer would read as the heroine of the story is in fact, a friendly necromancer. Looking on the publisher's website there are 5 future issues of this comic slated for now and it is kind of a continuation of a previous comic called Songs for the Dead. There's even a website specifically made for Songs for the Dead. Wild. I had no idea about this!

Aside from the "spaceship porn comic" advertisement at the back of the comic, it was a pretty good read. (That's . . . just not my scene) I liked the characters and premise enough, I'll probably be getting the rest of the series and reading what past stuff I can from Songs for the Dead.

Speaking of reading "past stuff" . . . do you guys realize how amazing my wife is? No? So, she read my blog (that's an awesome wife right there) and called a comic shop down in south Austin who actually had the June copy of Rolled & Told that I was missing from my collection. (You may remember me whining about that earlier in the month). That's how you know you've got a keeper . . . it's not the 25 years of marriage, 3 kids, and all that . . . it's that they read your blog and bought you a comic. LOL. Obviously I'm kidding, but she is pretty amazing. THANK YOU UBER WIFE! MY COLLECTION IS COMPLETE!

As for the new issue of Rolled & Told itself . . . I just love the weird adventures they come up with. This month there's a romp through a haunted house and a Demon Queen's Haven. There's also articles on roadside shrines and how to get your innocent family members involved in roleplay among other things.

All good stuff at the comic shop yesterday! (Also, the gyro I had for lunch was the perfect companion to reading some tasty comics. Yum!)

Happy Dueling!
