Delicious in Dungeon, Volumes II and III, Kui Ryoku, 192 pages each
Kui Ryoku's hilarious take on fantasy dungeon ecology and fantasy tropes continues in these two volumes. The party, led by Laios and his determination to rescue his sister from the belly of a red dragon, encounters a few iconic creatures from fantasy mythos (orcs, mermaids, and zombies), as well as some plays upon Dungeons and Dragons monsters, including everyone's personal favorite, the mimic. For those unfamiliar with the concept, a mimic is a treasure chest shaped monster that eats your face when you try to open it to look at the treasure inside of it. Chilchuck, the resident halfling rogue of the adventuring group, has a healthy fear of them, and of course, he is the one forced to deal with a mimic on his own. Moments of levity abound as the group progresses forward, and a particular favorite of mine occurs when the group washes the dwarf's beard. Seriously, it is a thing, and it is hilarious.
