Oct 22, 2026When you love D&D as much as I do, champion its creators and community, and make it the cornerstone of your professional and personal life, you don’t expect a comic to leave you this excited. Yet here I am, double-dutch-delighted (yep, that’s a new one for the site!) by the absolute epicness of this story so far. Read Full Review

Nov 04, 2026We are back in the Forgotten Realm and once again with characters who are ripe with history and lore. The team has a clear deep love and appreciation for this world lending their voices to this exciting adventure and taking us along for the ride. Better pick your class fast because this is going to be one heck of a journey! Read Full Review

Nov 04, 2026Overall, I really enjoyed this first issue and would recommend it to readers who enjoy fantasy adventures and D&D. If fantasy isn’t really your thing, this might not be the comic that changes your mind, but there’s an opportunity here to discover a new adventure and perhaps find yourself wanting more. I’m certainly interested in seeing where this party goes next. Read Full Review

Kabooooom - Matt Morrison
Oct 31, 2026While it captures the essence of the Forgotten Realms, this first issue of Dungeons and Dragons will hold little appeal outside of the established fanbase of players who are also comic readers. Even then, the audience will be limited to those who already know the setting and can work past name drops being used in place of exposition and the characters being unlikeable and unrelatable. It is a shame, however, because the artwork is excellent. However, there are far too many fantasy comics on the market right now that do a better job of being friendly to newcomers to make this worth the effort. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Al Mega
Nov 06, 2026The creative team delivers expressive characters, substantial fantasy artwork and an entertaining central humiliation for a man who is not used to needing anybody. Volo and Tasha keep Mordenkainen from turning the whole affair into a solemn lecture about his suffering, and the visual team gives the adventure enough bite to support the jokes. The lore comes thick, so give yourself a minute if this is your first visit. Fans who enjoy a party held together by necessity, bad history and mutual aggravation should have a good time here. Roll up with your patience and your sense of humor, Crusaders. This crew already looks capable of ruining a perfectly sensible plan. Read Full Review

Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez
Nov 04, 2026Dungeons & Dragons #1 assembles a party for a quest to restore an ancient wizard’s magic, but they’ll have to confront a dragon to do it. Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing bring together an eclectic cast of characters for an original campaign, but the issue lacks motivation and a reason to care. Thankfully, the art team delivers the goods. Read Full Review
