“The Last Session” is a graphic novel about a group of friends who have been playing Dungeons & Drago.. .- I'm sorry, Dice & Deathtraps - together since high school.
As they move on to college, and soon, the adult world, they have decided to finally finish their first campaign. But the addition of a new player might throw the party into turmoil and chaos.

This cute comic is both fun and relatable. I too have been in such a party, whose campaign spanned years. And I too identify with the difficulty of accepting change as you grow older.
The characters are very relatable and diverse, they could be you or your friends when you were in college.

I found the illustrations and design very accessible, easy to follow the action as it developed, and the transition between real-world action and in-game world action was very smooth.

All in all, a very well done graphic novel for all players of tabletop RPGs (or maybe a good motivator to start playing?), fans of stories about friendship, the family you choose as you grow older, and the struggles of being an adult.
You should read this!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.
