Wizards of the Coast is expanding its Dungeons & Dragons comic offerings, with a new Baldur’s Gate 3 series centered on Astarion and a return to the franchise’s post-apocalyptic Dark Sun setting.
The first six issues of the Baldur’s Gate 3 comic will follow Astarion after he frees himself from the influence of his vampire master Cazador Szarr during the events of the game. New trouble is brewing in Waterdeep, and Astarion has to investigate a string of ritual murders before he becomes the killer’s next victim.
Wizards of the Coast is returning to Dungeons & Dragons’ post-apocalyptic setting Dark Sun in 2027. Dark Horse is also heading to the wasteland of Athas for a trilogy of standalone graphic novels.
The first will follow Tikat, a Thri-kreen gladiator trying to protect his friend Wik from a powerful psionic. Joined by the cannibal Kavora, the unlikely party has to escape the city of Tyr, cutting through hordes of bloodthirsty enemies as they try to unmask their mysterious foe.
