Posted on November 30, 2024 by Graphic Policy Team

Dark Horse is partnering with Studio Hermitage, comics writer (and possible Eldritch Horror) Cullen Bunn, and artist Christopher Mitten to bring the Our Brilliant Ruin tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) setting to comics with the new series Our Brilliant Ruin: Horror at Crane Mansion. Depicting an Edwardian twist on Lovecraftian horror and dark murder mysteries, the series also features colorist Piky Hamilton, letterer Frank Cvetkovic, and cover art from Helen Mask. This series of three comic issues will tell a chilling tale from the world of the Our Brilliant Ruin TTRPG, starting with issue #1 available in March 2025.

An investigator for hire finds herself in deep when a simple job of vetting a wealthy heiress’s suitors becomes a death trap. When guests at the heiress’s birthday party start turning up dead, their bodies brutally mangled, rumors and accusations start flying as our hero attempts to untangle a mystery she was not expecting to have to solve. The question in this Edwardian eldritch-nightmare meets Upstairs-downstairs drama becomes: who is a tragic victim, and who is the ruthless hunter?

Don’t miss your chance to learn the secrets of Our Brilliant Ruin: Horror at Crane Mansion #1 (of 3) when it arrives in comic shops on March 26, 2025, for $4.99.
