'Pathfinder Vol.6: Worldscape' by Erik Mona with art by Jonathan Lau brings some familiar faces into the world of Pathfinder.

Valeros, Seoni, Kyra and Merisiel are on an adventure when they get separated and end up in a place called Worldscape. Worldscape is a place where various heroes have been brought to battle each other. Before long, other heroes like Red Sonja, John Carter, Tarzan and others are found here. The heroes reunite and join forces with their new friends to try to find a way back home.

I had a fun time reading this crossover and it all worked pretty well. The art was good throughout, as it has been in the other Pathfinder books. As in the other Pathfinder books, this one includes resources for your own rpg game, including character sheets for Red Sonja and Tars Tarkas of Mars.

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

The Pathfinder crew find themselves whisked the the Worldscape where they encounter literary heroes such as John Carter of Mars, Modred, Red Sonja, Tarazan, and many others. Each character has his/her own adventure until they combine in the final clash over the crown and scepter that rules Worldscape. An interesting side adventure for Pathfinder fans.

A crossover with Red Sonja, Tarzan, and John Carter. Not as good as the other Pathfinders books I've read. There's a whole lot of shoehorning required for this crossover that's wasn't much of a crossover to happen. I liked how the previous volumes felt like a group's RPG adventure translated into a comic.

Fight, fight, fit bird, fight, fight, exposition, dodgy fantasy myth, fight, fight, more fit birds, fight, fight, more exposition, more exposition, fight, fight, more dodgy fantasy myth, borrowed character you've never heard of, borrowed character you've never enjoyed much, exposition, dodgy myth, fight, fight, fight - not forgetting fit bird - fight, fight, still exposition because it's at least consistent in its repetition, fight, more dodgy borrowed characters nobody you've heard of has heard of, fight, fight, more fit, more fight, Tarzan, fight. And all to sell an RPG.

Great comic for the d and d world . I especially liked that it came with maps, scenario settings and character sheets to play out the story in a game setting as well. The art was great and the story was interesting.

After a couple of unexplained battles where he doesn’t do nearly as well as he’d hoped—“Not gonna lie. Glad no one was around to see that”—a warrior ends up fighting in the arena against all kinds of monsters and hot babes, with his last challenge being the one and only Red Sonja. His snark of “I’m guessing they don’t call you Red because you embarrass easily” comes off just as well as you’d expect. In the meantime his friends have their own adventures in this strange universe, with all the stories eventually converging at the end, but not before other famous mythical characters show up, especially John Carter and Tarzan.
As a lifelong fan, I have to say this is the worst representation I’ve ever seen of Red Sonja, both physically and character-wise. That hair. . . she looks like she went to a stylist in the Deep South.
Best line: “Who names their planet after dirt?” Like this green guy, I’ve had the same thought. Second best: “I do like a girl in leather,” said by another girl.
In the second issue there’s a ton of backstory that hits you like a school bus—yes, there’s a reason I use that simile—all at once. But despite all this exposition, the whole thing was simply too confusing to grasp. So many sides, too many people fluid in their loyalties. . . the only way I could eventually get through it was to stop caring. It’s fair to say this would be a lot smoother if you’re familiar with these characters, either through previous editions or the role-playing game this seems to be based on. As this was my first venture into this universe, I’m sure I failed to grasp a bunch of points throughout.
Oddly enough, in the 50 or so extra pages Sonja looked a lot more like her old self. The last 20 pages are stuff like stats and stories for the role-playing game.
2.5 pushed up to 3/5

I'm always up for more high fantasy graphic novels. I love this series!
