Is Image Teasing a Daggerheart Comic Series?

Image Comics posted a teaser today of a D12 die with text saying more would be revealed later this week. It’s a guessing game right now as to what the series would be but a best guess would be a comic series based on the new tabletop roleplaying game Daggerheart published by Darrington Press.

The game uses two D12 dice, one Hope and one Fear to determine the outcome of actions and with a D12 die shown, it’s a good guess that’s what’s being teased. Dungeons & Dragons recently announced a move to Dark Horse for comics and Pathfinder and Starfinder comics are published by Dynamite. Neither of those use a D12.

Daggerheart launched in 2023 by lead game designer Spenser Starke and additional designers including Rowan Hall, Matthew Mercer, Alex Teplitz, and Michael Underwood spinning out of the popular tabletop roleplaying series Critical Role. Critical Role does have comics based on their adventures released by Dark Horse. The Daggerheart Core Rulebook was released on May 20, 2025.

With Justin Jordan sharing the teaser, could he be writing what should be a popular series?
