review:

'Borderlands: The Fall of Fyrestone Volume 1' reminds me if the characters are this great in the game, I need to play it. I laughed out loud on multiple occasions while reading this, and that's a good thing.



The book opens with a friendly robot welcoming our heroes to the city of Fyrestone, home of the vault. Roland, Mordecai (and his bird), Lilith and Brick arrive on the bus to explore the vault and claim their treasure.



If only it were that easy. Of course they need a vehicle and weapons. Which means they need to help out with a couple chores in town. First up is a nasty beast that killed a man's wife and maimed him. Help him out and they get a car. After that, they need to take out Nine Toes who guards the vault with his vicious minions.



Some of the characters are loopy. They humor is off the wall, and I loved it. This is a team of people who don't want to be a team, but don't mind helping out. It's a good follow up to 'Borderlands: Origins' which gave each of these characters their own story. Story by Mikey Neumann is crisp and fast. Art by Agustin Padilla is pitch perfect. Time to install this game from my Steam library and give it a whirl.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this great graphic novel.
