Dynamite’s Pathfinder comics get collected in an Omnibus collecting three story arcs

Posted on by

Dynamite Entertainment has announced a new extra-sized epic tome compiling several sizzling sagas of Paizo‘s Pathfinder characters and mythos for an omnibus volume perfect for fans to binge read! Across a whopping 560 pages, this capacious compendium packs together three core story arcs from the nearly 15 fabulous years of comics featuring the hit tabletop roleplaying experience from Dynamite.

Pathfinder comic book adventures all started In Dark Water Rising, driven by fan-favorite writer Jim Zub known for his fantasy fables and RPG inspired epics like Conan the Barbarian, Skullkickers, Wayward, and a deep bibliography with Marvel Comics. The warrior Valeros can rely on his sword arm and his friends, including the mysterious sorceress Seoni, the quick-witted elven rogue Merisiel, the powerful wizard Ezren, the well-traveled dwarven ranger Harsk, and the courageous cleric Kyra. Though nothing can prepare this band of adventurers for the dangers that lurk ahead. The scattered goblin tribes of Varisia are unifying in ways no one has ever seen before.

Then in its follow up Tooth and Claw, Valeros and his companions are tasked with tracking down a mysterious beast scaring the locals of Sandpoint. They find more than they bargained for, as a simple monster hunt unfolds into a twisted tale of danger and betrayal when the Cult of Lamashtu seeks to exact its revenge on our iconic heroes! Zub is complemented in these two story arcs and their extras by artists including Andrew Huerta.

The initial flagship series is all collected here, but it’s topped off with the anthology series Goblins which turns the spotlight to the iconic pint-sized psychopaths, as they wreak havoc across the land. Infamous for their unpredictable attacks, catchy raiding songs, hatred of dogs, and fear of horses, the iconic goblins of Pathfinder blend mischief and murderous mayhem like no other monsters. A range of creators contribute including Charles Soule, Ron Marz, Adam Warren, Erik Mona, F. Wesley Schneider, James L. Sutter, Crystal Frasier, Ray Fawkes, Carlos Gomez, Sean Izaakse, Craig Rousseau, Jeremy Holt, Eric Trautmann, Paul Allor, and more.

The Pathfinder Omnibus includes Pathfinder (2012) #1-12, the 2014 special, Pathfinder: Goblins #1-5, and a range of bonus materials including a short story and lots of RPG materials that fans can bring directly to the game night.
