Quested Volume 1

Quested fuses the darkly humored attitude of Hellboy with the fantasy-adventure spirit of The Legend of Zelda as the questing staff of Jinx’s pawn shop moonlight as adventurers – or is it the other way around?

Follow the questing misadventures of morally ambiguous hero-for-hire, Jinx, through a bizarre, neon-lit fantasy world, filled with lizard henchmen, dungeon bosses, and rupees. Welcome to Faerbraun!

Jinx has the potential to follow in his late father’s footsteps and become the Braun’s Greatest Quester, but why risk life and limb when you can just fake it and reap the rewards? Pulling off schemes to stock his pawn shop with all the hottest questing gear was going so well – until he and his accomplices, the meaty muscle-man Hamo and no-nonsense Lithia, accidentally got the King’s daughter abducted. Now they must embark on a real adventure to save the princess while trying to avoid all those pesky side quests!
