Dungeons & Dragons Comic Book to Be Published By IDW Publishing

At the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo, Wizards of the Coast and IDW announced plans to create a series of comics based on the Dungeons & Dragons universe. The debut issue will be released this August, with new monthly comics and reprints launching in November. Plans are to include well-known characters from the Forgotten Realms universe and offer new stories and playable characters to existing game campaigns.

“We are delighted to partner with IDW,” said Liz Schuh, Brand Director for Dungeons & Dragons. “Together, we will bring great D&D stories to our fans, told through IDW’s high quality comics.”

For those who don’t know, IDW is best known for publishing Transformers, G.I. Joe, and a number of EA franchises in the comic world. They’re no Marvel or DC, but it’s still good to see D&D expanding out of the hobby shop. Well, actually, they’ll likely be in the same store… Anyway, the full press release is below, and be sure to check back for more news as it develops. Learn more »
