The Fallbacks have plundered the Lost Lord of Loudwater’s tomb, but the treasure may not be worth the trouble. As a fearsome white dragon, apparently awoken by the Fallbacks’ heist, descends upon Loudwater, the party rushes to defend the town. Can they fend off the draconic menace before it freezes all of Loudwater? Also, a new challenge arises: the Tournament of Heroes! It’s the perfect opportunity for the Fallbacks to show up Angrilyne’s team, if they can win . . .
Featuring connecting back cover art by acclaimed fantasy artist Julie Dillon, whose work has been featured in the Magic: The Gathering card game!

GUERRILLA WARFARE!
X YEARS LATER, BRONZE, MS. MARVEL, RIFT, MELEE and their guerrilla flotilla make their way upriver, evading the surveillance of both REVELATION and the U.S. Army. It’s clear that their recently rescued charge LYREBIRD is not who he seems to be. And withholding some details leaves his life on the line, as the team approaches the LIMBO LANDS… and the truth.
UNITED BY WAR! X YEARS LATER, like the fallen and reassembled United States, the new team of MS. MARVEL, BRONZE, MELEE and RIFT rises! They have seized control of the Mississippi River waters that divide mutantkind from the rest of humanity. Feared and powerful, their guerrilla tactics keep them in control – until a high-stakes mission to extract a valuable asset threatens to tear them apart. Can they hold together when everything’s on the line?

In a time of fickle gods and feckless governors, the world yearns for heroes! But what it gets are the Fallbacks – a party of daring, dubious, and dysfunctional adventurers who arrive in the city of Loudwater in search of gold and glory. But an encounter with kobold thieves puts the Fallbacks in the crosshairs of a rival team of deeply annoying local heroes. Will the Fallbacks pull off a heist for the ages? Or will they sacrifice it all to put these “heroes” in their place?
In a time of fickle gods and feckless governors, the world yearns for heroes! But what it gets are the Fallbacks – a party of daring, dubious, and dysfunctional adventurers who arrive in the city of Loudwater in search of gold and glory. But an encounter with kobold thieves puts the Fallbacks in the crosshairs of a rival team of deeply annoying local heroes. Will the Fallbacks pull off a heist for the ages? Or will they sacrifice it all to put these “heroes” in their place? Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks #1 is an entertaining start as the classic property finds a new comic publisher with Dark Horse.
Written by Greg Pak, Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks #1 is a find start with a general fantasy story that uses elements from the classic tabletop roleplaying game. When it comes to comics based on fantasy tabletop roleplaying games, we’ve seen them range in style from the seriousness of a Conan comic to the silly off the rails insanity that is Skullkickers. There’s no right way or wrong way to adapt the stories, but your enjoyment here will rest on what you’re looking for. Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks #1 leans more towards the Skullkickers concept, coming off more as similar recent comics based on Pathfinder and Gloomhaven. All of those comics, while based off of tabletop game properties and being in a fantasy world, lean more towards humor and off the rails adventures than a serious fantasy take. Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks #1 like those comics is entertaining while taking elements from their games without feeling like it’s completely of that game. This isn’t some hardcore adaptation of Ravenloft with a dark horror tone, it’s a group of adventurers who are kind of screwups and get no respect. It’s the type of story one might expect from a bunch of friends gathering to relax and play their own game.
The art by Wilton Santos is good with ink by Edvan Alves, color by Raúl Angulo, and lettering by Nate Piekos. Like the story itself, the art has a more relaxed style about it fitting the tone well. The characters are all identifiable and the team has done a great job of bringing classic characters and some more obscure creatures, to the page. The colors pop and lettering stands out with some of what must be done like spellcasting. Overall, the art matches the tone very well but also feels like it’s what really brings the comic into Dungeons & Dragons with some known looks, otherwise it could be just any generic fantasy adventure.
Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks #1 takes characters and concepts from the tabletop game to the comic page but also doesn’t feel like it has at the same time. There’s something rather generic about it all but at the same time it’s entertaining and easy to dive into for longtime fans of DnD and those new to the property. It’s a comic that plays it safe in some ways but also feels like it’s a story being told by friends as they get together to roll some dice. It’s a casual adventure that is welcoming to all who want to join the party.

On February 20, 1962, NASA launched the first American in space to orbit the Earth. This momentous event brought the far away dreams of children everywhere within reach. Now Major Thomás will blast off digitally from Amazon’s comixology Originals exclusive digital content line on March 25, 2025. A debut graphic novel written by Omar Morales, Major Thomás is a YA space adventure about a Mexican-American farmworker in California’s Central Valley who becomes humanity’s first hyperspace traveler for NASA.
Thomás Mùnoz was born into poverty with one dream—exploring the cosmos as an astronaut with his best friend, Lisa. While Thomás studies and overcomes many of his circumstances to become Major Thomás, a NASA astronaut, he continues to suffer from anxiety and imposter syndrome.
In the near future, the launch clock to all of Thomás’ dreams counts down, but even after years of elite NASA training, he’s still not ready to let go of Earth. When he ends up lost in space he is stranded far away from our solar system and becomes entangled in a savage intergalactic war. Violent reptoids are hell-bent on destroying Thomás, and the robots he befriends, in their quest to control all of the resources in the star system. Throughout the brutal war, Thomás’ mind remains focused on cultural lessons learned from his mother and now-love interest, Lisa, who is back on Earth, working on a rescue plan with NASA. Will Thomás survive both the intergalactic battle and overcome the war raging inside of him?
Major Thomásincludes a foreword by real life astronaut José M. Hernández, a former migrant farmworker who went to space in 2009. Hernández is the subject and inspiration for the Amazon Original film “A Million Miles Away,” now streaming on Amazon.
The bookfeatures work by an entirely Latino creative team from all over the world including, writer Omar Morales (Mexican-American), artists Serg Acuña (Costa Rican) and Mau Mora (Costa Rican), colorists Raúl Angulo (Costa Rican) and Fabi Marques (Brazilian), letterer Taylor Esposito (Argentine-American) and graphic designer Gab Contreras (Peruvian).
Not only is Major Thomás a fun sci-fi story with aliens, sentient robots, and real planets, black holes and constellations found in our galaxy, at its heart it’s an inspiring story about digging deep inside to overcome tragic circumstances and reach for the stars. As an added bonus, Major Thomás includes an educator’s guide written by Creators Assemble!, a nonprofit made up of teachers and librarians.
