Side Quest
Ive been getting exhausted byMythic Questseason 4.
And much like its series of origin,Side Questis far from perfect.
Even with only four episodes, its quality fluctuates greatly from moment to moment.
Pull List introduces us to a comic book store owner and her most loyal customers.
Pull List includes a lot of important themesthat are not as emphasized in the main series.
The main store is a Black-owned business whose patrons are excited to see the first Blackcharacter inMythic Quest.
This makes the episode successful in its ideas, buttheSide Questinstallment falters on a dialogue level.
Derek Waters is the highlight of this episode,including hilarious facial expressions in his performance as Phil.
I do wonder how the episode would have read without actually featuring Ian onscreen, as it eventually did.
Side Quest, released on March 25, 2025, delves into the Mythic Quest universe through four standalone narratives. It explores the lives of players, comic book shop owners, touring orchestra musicians, and art department members as they pursue community, success, and love.
It even relies on voice acting and is a moving narrative.
Overall,Side Questwaxes and wanes in quality, carrying some writing flaws while achieving moments of dramatic greatness.
