It takes a while for everyone to get together for a big climax, so although Pathfinder: Worldscape is a sprawling, epic story with a ton of heroes, monsters, and villains, we're rolling it out in a deliberate way that shows you each character's entrance into the world on an individual basis.īB: What can you tell us about the storyline of this book? What is the "Worldscape"?ĮM: Pathfinder: Worldscape features the exploits of four Pathfinder adventurers who are plucked from their world of Golarion to a mysterious prison dimension called the Worldscape, where the greatest warriors of three worlds are drawn into an endless struggle by the whim of an ancient, long-dead arch-wizard. The second issue largely features Seoni appearing in a distant jungle portion of the Worldscape, where she encounters Thun'da, Tars Tarkas, and an army of vicious gorilla warriors culled from the simian scum of three worlds. The bulk of the first issue focuses on Valeros appearing in this strange new world and encountering otherworldly creatures like Barsoomian White Apes and World War II-era French alchemist-explorers before eventually running in with the mighty Red Sonja. One way I'm handling it is that the four Pathfinder heroes at the center of the story-the fighter Valeros, the sorcerer Seoni, the cleric Kyra, and the rogue Merisiel-vanish from the Pathfinder world of Golarion while on a mission together, but they all manifest in the weird multi-dimensional Worldscape in different locations. With titles like John Carter of Mars and Red Sonja in the Dynamite roster, we were hardly starved for choice when it came to team members!īB: Wow, I know you are used to dealing with a big cast in your usual Pathfinder comics for Dynamite, but how does a writer meet the challenge of also including some of Dynamite's finest from the worlds of Hyboria, Barsoom, Golarion and Earth?ĮM: It's not so easy, as once you add in the villains we're talking about a TON of characters involved in this epic story. If the publisher had a pulp super-group and a steampunk super-group, it made a lot of sense to also introduce a fantasy super-group. It reminds me a little of Dynamite's Swords of Sorrow event with multi-franchise female adventurers last summer.ĮRIK MONA: Dynamite has a long tradition of teaming up its various licensed characters, and while Swords of Sorrow is an excellent example of that, the Pathfinder: Worldscape idea started a few years before that miniseries came out, and was really inspired by the Masks book, which ties together most of Dynamite's pulp properties, as well as Bill Willingham's series Legenderry, which put a steampunk spin on a variety of popular characters. BYRON BREWER: Erik, tell us how this multi-franchise book came into being.
