Mordenkainen, Volo, and Tasha Unite in New D&D Comic to Stop Draconic Apocalypse

Three of D&D's most legendary wizards are finally leaving the rulebooks behind to fight a dragon apocalypse—and your campaign table gets the loot.

Mordenkainen, Volo, and Tasha Unite in New D&D Comic to Stop a Draconic Apocalypse

Three of Dungeons & Dragons' most iconic named characters—Mordenkainen, Volo, and Tasha—are finally teaming up for a proper adventure in a new Dark Horse Comics series launching this November. The wizard Mordenkainen, stripped of his magic, must rely on the traveling scholar Volo and the witch Tasha to prevent a draconic apocalypse. This isn't just a fun crossover for lore nerds; each issue will also include in-game stats and lore for the dragons featured, making the comic a functional tool for Dungeon Masters running their own campaigns. The ongoing series, announced at a July 23 San Diego Comic-Con panel, comes from Eisner Award-nominated writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, known for their work on *Star Trek* and *Kang the Conqueror*. Ibraim Roberson (*Star Wars: The High Republic*, *Uncanny X-Men*) handles pencils, with inks by Arabson Oliveira, colors by Dan Brown, and letters by Haley-Rose Lyon. The first issue drops on November 4 and is available for preorder now at $4.99. This is a rare chance to see these legendary figures actually go on an adventure rather than just narrate rulebooks.

Why This Matters

For Dungeons & Dragons fans and tabletop players, this comic bridges lore and gameplay by providing ready-to-use dragon stats, while finally sending three iconic rulebook narrators on a real adventure—a rare event that deepens the game's mythology and practical resources.

Background

Who are Mordenkainen, Volo, and Tasha?

These are three of Dungeons & Dragons' most famous named characters, typically known for narrating rulebooks (e.g., Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, Volo's Guide to Monsters, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything) rather than starring in adventures.

The series is written by Eisner Award-nominated writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (known for Star Trek and Kang the Conqueror), with art by Ibraim Roberson (Star Wars: The High Republic, Uncanny X-Men), inks by Arabson Oliveira, colors by Dan Brown, and letters by Haley-Rose Lyon.
