THE ADVENTURE ZONE: Carey Pietsch in conversation w/ Benjamin Wilgus

We're excited to host the illustrator of The Adventure Zone graphic novels for an interactive launch event (cue audience participation!) for THE ADVENTURE ZONE: STORY AND SONG. PLEASE NOTE: This event is being held earlier than our usual event times, at 6 PM, and is suitable for ALL AGES. STORY AND SONG: The triumphant final installment in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Adventure Zone graphic novel series, a meta-fictional D&D adventure story based on the smash hit podcast. After six beloved and bestselling installments, The Adventure Zone series returns one final time for a grand finale: Story and Song. Our heroes — Taako, Magnus, and Merle — are about to discover the long-lost truths about themselves, their shared history, and the nature of the threat they’ve been facing since they first agreed to join the Bureau of Balance. But just as their eyes are opened to the truth — mere moments after being reunited with long-lost loved ones — the forces that have hunted them for all these years catch up in a spectacularly horrifying fashion. CAREY PIETSCH: Carey Pietsch is a cartoonist based out of Brooklyn, NY. Her work includes drawing two arcs of Lumberjanes and the artwork for the Mages of Mystralia webcomic. 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, where she’s currently playing a dragonborn sorcerer who cares too much about romance novels.
