Vault Comics and Matt Dinniman have announced aDungeon Crawler Carlongoing comic book series. Available in comic book stores everywhere beginning in January 2027, the Dungeon Crawler Carl comic book series will serialize the smash-hit webtoon written by Matt Dinniman and Tevagah, with art by Laurel Pursuit Studios and Kuzomari, now with scaled up art that will fit the comic book page. Vault has already released two collected volumes of the series as well as a zero issue. You can check out our review of the first volume, second volume, and Dungeon Crawler Carl #0. The new format sounds like a slightly reformatted another bite at the apple and after how many variant covers Dungeon Crawler Carl #0 has seen (over 230 of them), this move is not a surprise.
The Dungeon Crawler Carl ongoing series will feature a line of main A covers by the legendary Nathan Gooden. Variant covers will be drawn by a rotating cast of all-star artists, including the likes of Ryan Ottley, Brett Bean, Frank Cho, Clayton Crain, Yoshi Yoshitani, Katie Cook, Riley Rossmo, Tyler Walpole, Doug Mahnke, Trish Forstner, Todd Beats, Tony Moy, and beloved Dungeon Crawler Carl novel cover artist, Luciano Fleitas. More top-flight cover artists will be announced in the coming weeks and months.
Dungeon Crawler Carl is the #1 New York Times-bestselling LitRPG novel series by Matt Dinniman. With over 19 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 2026 it was announced that Peacock officially greenlit the Dungeon Crawler Carl TV series from Universal International Studios and Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door. The writer’s room is already in progress, with Chris Yost (Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok, and Disney+’s The Mandalorian), and Eric Heisserer (Arrival, Bird Box) as co-show runners.
Dungeon Crawler Carl #1 will be a double-sized 48 page issue that will hit store shelves in January, 2027, then subsequent issues in the series will be released on a monthly schedule.
New Achievement! You like ’em floppy! You wanted Carl and Donut every month, you get Carl and Donut every month. Reward: An ongoing series with scaled up art! You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Getting stuck on a sadistic alien game show with her cat! Dungeon Crawler Carl #1 is 48 pages, combining Episodes 1 and 2 of the hit Webtoon (which is a lot more story than issue #0). The New York Times, USA Today and Publisher’s Weekly bestselling adaptation of Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman starts its monthly ongoing run here!
Elsie finds herself all alone in the woods. Lost in the dark, she’s haunted by something worse than the bad kind. The ghostly Spirit Guide is back. And it wants Elsie on her own forever!

Image Comics and Top Cow have revealed a line-wide Witchblade Team-Up variant covers in celebration of the milestone Witchblade (2024) #25 issue’s premiere this September. Some of the biggest names in comics will put their artistic spin on Witchblade as its iconic characters make an appearance across the covers of some of Image’s most popular ongoing series.
Witchblade is a comic book series published by Top Cow Productions, which ran from November 1995 to October 2015 and December 2017 to January 2020. The series was created by Marc Silvestri, David Wohl, Brian Haberlin, and Michael Turner. The comic series was made into a TNT television series in 2001 and was directed by Ralph Hemecher and starred Yancy Butler as Sara Pezzini. Later, Top Cow and Japanese animation studio Gonzo produced an anime adaptation of Witchblade, which debuted in 2006.
Marguerite Bennett and Guiseppe Cafaro’s current run on Witchblade (2024) features a reimagined origin, with contemporary takes on familiar characters, as well as fresh story arcs to hook new fans and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the ’90s Image Revolution. New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life is forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power? …Or will she be consumed by it?
Witchblade will appear on the covers of:
