Posted on by

Dark Horse Books and Critical Role have revealed that the previously announced book Critical Role: The Chronicles of Exandria—The Mighty Nein Part Two will also be available for collectors in a stunning Deluxe Edition in early 2025. Written by Dani Carr and adorned with a beautiful cover by artist Helen Mask with designer Cindy Cacerez-Sprague, this volume was created in collaboration with Matthew Mercer and the Critical Role team, as well as Critter community artists.

The saga of Exandria’s famous adventurers continues in this second collection of art, narrative, and lore from the cast of Critical Role and the Critter community! The Chronicles of Exandria: The Mighty Nein Part Two follows Critical Role’s Mighty Nein campaign from their adventures in Xhorhas to encounters with the Kryn and the Bright Queen, to discoveries at the Cinderrest Sanctum and in the belly of a behemoth, all the way to events at the Whitedawn Lagoon and beyond.

The Deluxe Edition will include a foil-stamped, debossed hardcover with spine ribs and a ribbon marker, a triptych-style portfolio with a lithograph by Hannah Freidrichs, a coin from the Kryn Dynasty featuring an image of the Bright Queen presented with a velvet pouch, a die-cut and faux leather foil-stamped bookmark, and a foil-stamped envelope containing: five postcards featuring art from inside the book, a Marquis Party invitation, fliers for Brenatto’s Apothecary and Blooming Grove Tea by Helen Mask, Beacon Research Notes and the Xhorhaus Floorplan by Hunter Severn Bonyun, and a Willi Blueprint by Fernando Heinz Furukawa. All items will be housed within an intricate clamshell package inspired by Iva Deshin, proprietor of Chastity’s Nook.

ECCC 2019: Dark Horse Delivers More Critical Role with Comics, Collections, and Art Books

Posted on by

Dark Horse Comics and Critical Role have announced three new projects set to release in 2019. Based on epic tales from the world of Exandria, these new comics, art books and more will explore this universe in new and original ways! The most popular digital tabletop game in the world, Critical Role is live-streamed every week and set in Exandria. In each episode, veteran voice actor and Game Master Matthew Mercer leads his nerdy ass and wildly entertaining friends (also fellow voice actors!) on a thrill ride of turmoil and adventure. The cast includes Matthew Mercer (Overwatch, Final Fantasy XV, Fallout 4), Travis Willingham (Ultimate Spider-Man, Avengers Assemble, The Legend of Korra), Marisha Ray (Star Wars: Battlefront, Batgirl: Spoiled, Metal Gear: Survive), Taliesin Jaffe (Street Fighter, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV), Ashley Johnson (Blindspot, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teen Titans Go!), Sam Riegel (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, One Punch Man, The Amazing Spiderman), Liam O’Brien (Star Wars Rebels, Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Wolverine and the X-Men), and Laura Bailey (Dragon Ball Z, Fullmetal Alchemist, Gears of War 4).

On July 10, 2019, Dark Horse and Critical Role will release Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins series II #1, which finds the unlikely heroes of Vox Machina back in action-packed yet absurdly entertaining adventures! The six-issue series will be available through Dark Horse Digital and through retail stores and continues to follow the origin stories of engaging characters, material hinted at but not fully disclosed in the live-stream. From award-nominated writer Jody Houser and first series artist Olivia Samson, with colorist MSASSYK and letterer Ariana Maher comes Critical Role: Vox Machina Originsseries II, the highly anticipated sequel to Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins series I. The beautiful first issue cover is by artist Fiona Staples. The series will be collected into a trade paperback collection in summer 2020. 

In Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins series II, familiar faces from Critical Role’s smash-hit first campaign return as their escapades in Stilben lead them towards their next adventure—and a dire threat to Grog Strongjaw, the goliath barbarian, when he goes missing in the night. Tracking him down will see the party lose one member, gain another, and reveal parts of Grog’s secret past. But first, his friends have to actually find him.
