Direct from creator Matt Dinniman, writer Michael Moreci, artist Brett Bean, and Vault Comics comes an explosive, brand-new, and 100% canon graphic novel expansion to the Dungeon Crawler Carl universe! Featuring a fistful of beloved characters (and some new friends, enemies, and exceptionally concerning weapons), fans will see the opening of the World Dungeon like never before–from a new fan-favorite character’s perspective.

The identity of this character will remain a secret until a very special announcement on September 15th. But starting now, fans can sign up on the Backerkit campaign’s landing page to access hints about the new storyline, enjoy sneak-previews of concept art from the series, secure their invite to a special online launch party, and be the first to hear about upcoming campaign rewards, fan box voting, and extremely special “NEW ACHIEVEMENT!” stretch goals. The full campaign will launch on Backerkit on October 1st, 2025.

This fast-paced graphic novel will follow a yet-unannounced fan-favorite character from the main series who struggles with their humanity as they compete on the alien game show Dungeon Crawler World. Fans can expect the remaining survivors of the global apocalypse–familiar faces as well as some brand new ones–fight bizarre monsters and face ridiculous, deadly challenges for the entertainment of an interstellar audience.

Perfect for both die-hard fans of the smash-hit series AND newbie readers ready to take the plunge… It’s the First Floor like you’ve never seen it before, and it’s coming to you in kickass graphic novel format.

Dungeon Crawler Carl looks to be the hot new property with a recent tabletop roleplaying game announced by Renegade Game Studios. It’s a New York Times-bestselling and #1 Audible LitRPG novel series with over 1 million copies sold.

Dungeon Crawler Carl follows Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. In 2025 it was announced that Universal International Studios and Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door are developing Dungeon Crawler Carl as a TV series adapted by Chris Yost.
