About the series
In Quests Aside (2022–present, Vault), a fantasy tavern becomes the unlikely setting for a character-driven adventure, where the regulars—monsters, mercenaries, and magical misfits—find their own stories unfolding between quests. Written by Jim Zub with art by J. B. Bastos and colors by Jão, this five-issue series offers a warm, humorous take on RPG tropes, focusing on the downtime and camaraderie that make epic journeys feel personal. It matters for its fresh, slice-of-life approach to fantasy storytelling, celebrating the side characters who rarely get the spotlight.
