A young priestess has formed her first adventuring party, but almost immediately they find themselves in distress. It's the Goblin Slayer who comes to their rescue--a man who's dedicated his life to the extermination of all goblins, by any means necessary. And when rumors of his feats begin to circulate, there's no telling who might come calling next...
This volume throws us straight in to the blood and gore, and there's a good amount of action to offset the backstory segues for the main characters that we meet in this volume. While we get a nice amount of backstory on some of them, there's still more that we want/need to know and will find out over the course of the series I assume! The world is set up nicely too as we get all the relevant information on how everything works and so on.
The art is oddly cute for Priestess and Goblin Slayer and everyone else, and then in contrast the goblins are pretty gross, I'm not going to lie! There's a nice amount of detail to the backgrounds and settings and buildings that I really appreciated and the art was all around pleasing!
Goblin Slayer has a nice pace to it, and a good amount of action. This is a good first volume that lays the foundations for the series, setting up the world and bringing in a couple of the main characters as well as a little bit of mystery.
