Raves and Reviews

"The Last Session is a story that places equal emphasis on the in-game tale and the “real world” story, creating a narrative that that is utterly irresistible."

– Avery Kaplan, Comics Beat

"Readers looking for a story about how friendships are meant to grow & evolve, regardless of how firmly fixed a given circle might be, may find a lot to love here."

The Pullbox

"With art that screams animation, Dozerdraws brings writer Jasmine Walls' story to the page with charm and whimsy. Between that and Walls' skill of capturing the fear and uncertainty of [the players] moving on with their lives, the story is extremely relatable and well told."

Geek Vibes Nation

"A fun, and cozy look at friendships and how they form and develop through the lens of D&D. [...] The characters feel like real people, and I felt an immediate attachment to them when I started reading this story. The art is lovely and celebrates the diversity of the group with living, breathing characters. If you’re a member of a longtime TTRPG group or just like nerdy interpersonal relationship stories, then this one is worth your money."

But Why Tho

"This comic, like D&D itself, transports you to another world, full of joy."

Talking Comicbooks

"This comic is wholesome and does an incredible job showing the fondness the cast has for this game and each other. It taps into the positives of nostalgia and how it can bring together old friends, even after many years of separation."

– Luke Henderson, The Comic Book Yeti

"The Last Session is a fantastic series, and this collected edition brings it all together into one heartfelt story about friendship, bonding and acceptance of others [...] It’s such a brilliant book and I can’t wait to see what happens next."

Media Mallrat

"A comic perfect for those looking for a bit of a feel good read, also perfect if you are partial to a dice game or two this will definitely be up your street."

– Dave Jones, Get Your Comic On

"Walls writes a hilarious, wholly relatable story, to anyone who’s played a fantasy RPG. Dozerdraws art is perfect."

The Unreality Store

"The characters are uniquely distinct and they have a sweet friendship through gaming that certainly is relatable to anyone who’s felt a thrill from a roll of the dice with more than six sides."

– Gabriel Hernandez, Comical Opinions
