Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, and Ibrahim Roberson shake up the world of Dungeons & Dragons in an Epic Ongoing Comic Series

Posted on by Leave a comment

Dark Horse Comics and Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast have announced Dungeon & Dragons, a new ongoing series following Mad Mage Mordenkainen as he assembles Faerûn’s most legendary heroes, including Volo, Tasha, and more fan-favorite adventurers, for a high-fantasy epic that spans the Forgotten Realms! The series will be written by Eisner-nominated creators Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, penciled by Ibraim Roberson, inked by Arabson Oliveira, colored by Dan Brown, and lettered by Haley-Rose Lyon. Each issue will feature essays from RPG personalities or Dungeon & Dragons campaign assets that will be exclusive to the single issues.

Issue #1 debuts November 2026 and will feature cover art by Esad Ribić, D&D 5e Key Art Artist Tyler Jacobson, Antonio José Manzanedo (foil variant), Karen Darboe, Mateus Manhanini, and Eric Canete (1:25 ratio variant). Erika Ishii, voice actor and live play talent on Dimension 20, will write an essay for the backmatter.

A draconic apocalypse approaches the Forgotten Realms, and it has one name on its lips: MORDENKAINEN. Now, stripped of his magic but never out of the fight, the most powerful wizard in all reality will need the help of Faerûn’s most legendary heroes to restore the balance.

Dungeon & Dragons #1 will be available in comic shops on November 4, 2026. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.

Skybound Launches Worlds Beyond Number: The Official Graphic Novel Kickstarter

Posted on by

Skybound has launched the Kickstarter campaign for Worlds Beyond Number: The Official Graphic Novel, the first ever graphic novel adaptation based on the global sensation narrative podcast series from the megastar World’s Beyond Number Team of Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson. 

The campaign is live on Kickstarter NOW! 

The official graphic novel at the heart of this epic campaign is Worlds Beyond Number Presents: The Wizard, The Witch, and The Wild One: Prelude – the first book in The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One saga. Adapted by Jadzia Axelrod and illustrated by Sarah Webb, this 240-page hardcover tells the story of how Suvi (the Wizard), Ame (the Witch), and Eursulon (the Wild One) first met, and the summer adventure that changed their lives forever. 

For a limited time, fans who back the campaign will secure exclusive rewards including exclusive slipcases, signed bookplate tiers featuring the cast of Worlds Beyond Number, and class-themed stretch goals to be unlocked! 

Snow falling, over endless white sand… So begins the prelude to The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One. In the first graphic novel we meet Suvi, Ame, and Eursulon as children, and see them thrust from the known into peril, confusion, and new worlds they will struggle to understand. This is the story of how our trio met, and the events that would bring them back together so many years later.  

The World’s Beyond Number: The Official Graphic Novel campaign is live NOW on Kickstarter, with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at 12 p.m. PT.
