Arriving in October – D&D: Nights of Endless Adventure!

Posted by on April 28, 2023 No comments

Almost as soon as the first Dungeons & Dragons comic omnibus, called Days of Endless Adventure, arrived in stores, I had readers asking me if the later volumes of the series would also be collected in the same format.

This fall, the wait is over – D&D comic volume 4-6 (Evil at Baldur’s Gate, Infernal Tides, and Mindbreaker) will be collected in a second omnibus, called Nights of Endless Adventure!

Make sure you pre-order from your favorite comic shop or bookstore.

Arriving in April – Best of Minsc & Boo

Posted by on January 28, 2022 No comments

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: BEST OF MINSC & BOO
Writer – Jim Zub
Artists – Max Dunbar, Nelson Dániel, Dean Kotz, Francesco Mortarino
Cover – James Biggie

Get ready for the third installment of the legendary Baldur’s Gate video game with these adventures featuring some of the series’ most beloved characters: the ranger of dubious sanity, Minsc, and his miniature giant space hamster, Boo!

After decades spent in magical stasis, Minsc and Boo awaken in a Baldur’s Gate that is very different from the one they knew, but there will always be evil in need of smiting! SMITING! And while they’re perfectly capable of kicking the butt of badness to the Spine of the World and back on their own, it never hurts to have a little help from their companions, the rest of the Baldur’s Gate heroes.
Now, say it with us: “Go for the eyes, Boo!”

(Reprinting Minsc-centric stories – Legends of Baldur’s Gate #1, Shadows of the Vampire #2, Evil at Baldur’s Gate #1, and Evil at Baldur’s Gate #5)

Dungeons & Dragons: Mindbreaker #1 Reviews

Posted by on October 25, 2021 No comments

• Comic Book.com: 9/10 “This is a fun opening issue and can be enjoyed by readers of Zub’s past D&D series or newcomers to the long running story. I’m curious to see where this particular adventure goes as it doesn’t have any obvious parallel to a previous D&D campaign adventure.”

• Comic Book Resources: “Mindbreaker #1 sets the stage for an exciting series…Fans of the Dungeons & Dragons Universe are sure to be delighted by this debut issue.”

• Lyle’s Movie Files: 8.5/10 “Dungeons & Dragons: Mindbreaker is an easy to follow, enjoyable issue for longtime fans and newcomers alike…Mindbreaker is off to a very promising start and looks to be a title worth following each month.”

• Major Spoilers- Dueling Reviews: “It’s good, it’s solid. Zub puts together an interesting group and there’s always nicely plotted stuff to be done…If you want a story set in that D&D world, this is a good one.”

• Multiversity Comics: 8/10 “Jim Zub has been writing these characters enough to have them down to an art. Right from the first lines of dialogue, their personalities shine through…A fantastic new chapter in the ongoing adventures of the heroes of Baldur’s Gate, carrying on plot points introduced in Infernal Tides and tying the characters in to the Baldur’s Gate III video game.”

• Reading With a Flight Ring: “This is a classic superhero book set in a Dungeons & Dragons setting, which is basically how it has always been as long as I’ve played. I love the way that this is being written and how we see the characterization along with these stunning interiors make this as much fun as it can possibly be.”
