Series: Adventure Zone

Taako, Magnus, and Merle are near the end of their quest to collect the

seven Grand Relics, dangerous magical artifacts which threaten the world

as they know it. The penultimate item on their adventuring to-do list

is the Animus Bell, which The Director tells them is hidden at the heart

of Wonderland, a carnival of torment. Once inside, the boys will have

their shot at winning the Bell...but each step forward comes at a

horrible cost. And the deeper they go - the closer they get - the higher

a price they'll pay.

And if they can secure the Bell, surely

then the worst will be over, right? Surely they'll go back up to their

Moonbase in the sky, and hand the Bell over to The Director, and Bureau

life will return to normal while they begin their hunt for the final

relic, right? They're so close to the end, after all, and they've gone

through so much to get this far. There can't possibly be any further

surprises in store...

Meet the McElroys! Clint was born first, which recent studies have shown is the best procedure for fathers and sons; then came Justin, Travis, and, last but not least, Griffin. This hilarious family gained fame in the world of podcasts with My Brother, My Brother and Me (which spawned a popular TV show), Sawbones, Shmanners, Rose Buddies, and a farcical romp called The Adventure Zone. Carey Pietsch is a cartoonist based in Brooklyn, New York. Her work includes drawing for Lumberjanes and the webcomic Mages of Mystralia. Carey also makes Keepsakes and other original comics about magic and empathy. Along with brightening her workdays, The Adventure Zone got her to join a D&D campaign. careydraws.tumblr.com
