In the second issue of Dynamite’s first Pathfinder series, the band of heroes is growing to cope with the increasingly dangerous threat of the mutated goblin armies. Who, or what, is behind the threat? We’ll soon get some more clues to that, but there’s goblins to dispatch first!

Upon start this issue, I was certain there’d been a printing error; it feels almost identical to the opening sequence of issue #1. The biggest clue that this isn’t what had happened were the new cast members, who we’d met last issue but not seen in action. There’s an interesting dynamic developing with at least one of them, but the other two seem fairly interchangeable (they both seem to be the gruff, bearded type!).

The artwork is still a bit chaotic at times, making the action sequences difficult to follow. It’s a little frustrating in that regard, unfortunately.

Still, the overall mystery of the strong, organised goblins seems pretty much revealed by the end, as does the identity, or at least the appearance, of the dastardly villain behind the plan. Does this reveal mean more to fans of the Pathfinder TTRPG? Perhaps, because the villain’s identity is treated like a big revelation, but I have no clue who or what they are.
