Sidequest #3 is live now on Kickstarter!
Writer Grant Stoye has created a vast world filled with fantastic characters. The current campaign for the third issue in the series is live!
If you haven’t caught up on this exciting indie comic, check out our review of Sidequest #1 here!
The third issue sees the fallout from Grachen’s unexpected transformation – how do you dodge a mystical panic attack? We also dive into Ylwin’s touching back story, D’arik’s familial anxiety, and Barca’s bloody charge towards his goal. With the gang in turmoil, we’ll have to see who makes it to the ending intact!
What is Sidequest?
Have you ever played a video game? Played a table-top role-playing game? Lost yourself in a book? Did you use that activity to escape reality for a bit, maybe blow off some steam? If so, you may relate to this book: when the stress of life gets to be too much for D’arik, he hooks up with his adventuring party to go on some quests! But what happens when he relies too much on escapism to cope? What happens when his choices begin to reflect his frustrations?
This issue examines our gang’s problems a bit more – we lean heavily into depression and identity as several characters have to come to terms with who they are now, and how they got here. We also get to see Barca first hand, as his plans continue down a bloody road.
Also: aerial fighting!
