D&D General There's a 4-part Ravenloft comic book series coming

From Dark Horse Comics and Wizards of the Coast comes a trip into the dread domains of Ravenloft in a 4-part comic book series by Any Chu.

The first issue will be available on August 19th for $4.99.

Ravenloft is falling apart, and nobody knows why. Fortunately, monster hunter Ez D’Avenir is on the case! She’s searching the frozen wasteland of Lamordia for an undead creature that may hold the key to Ravenloft’s fate. But when Darklord Viktra Mordenheim catches wind of her quest, Ez is suddenly the one being hunted!

The perfect companion to Ravenloft: The Horrors Within, the new TRPG book from Wizards of the Coast!

Dark Horse Comics and Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast division present DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Ravenloft, a new four-issue genre-bending comic series that will unite Rudolph van Richten’s protégés from across the horrifying domains of Ravenloft. The miniseries is written by Bram Stoker Award–winning author Amy Chu (Carmilla: The First Vampire, Red Sonja), with line art by Ariela Kristantina (The Girl Who Draws on Whales, Adora and the Distance), colors by Arif Prianto (Poison Ivy, Green Lantern Corps), and letters by Haley Rose-Lyon (BUMP: A Horror Anthology, Jill and the Killers). Issue #1 will feature cover art by Guillem March, Riley Rossmo, Francesco Francavilla, Todor Hristov, and Angela Wu.

No mention of Strahd, which in my opinion is a great thing. Lots to focus on in Ravenloft outside its must famous Vampire.

It's another story with Viktra though, who has had cameos in the new Ravenloft novel and Neverwinter MMO. I'm hoping the comic deals with other Dark Lords as well...

So is Ez going to have to make a choice to keep Ravenloft intact and all the Darklords trapped inside, along with their innocent victims? I wonder how many player characters would make that choice, if they were faced with it.

(Also, this feels like a con job by the Dark Powers, who can't be interested in letting all their playthings/prisoners get away that easily.)

Some nice looking variant covers too!

I knew Ravenloft as subfranchise has got a lot of potential brand power.

* I had forgotten Dark Horse publishing has got some experience with the manga genre.

* Off-topic: Doese anybody remember the "Misty", the female soft horror comic serie?
