Earlier this week, news of a Magic: The Gathering comic returning to IDW broke, and it got us thinking about other comics from the fantasy milieu, specifically those that feel particularly influenced by role playing games. Now, Magic: The Gathering is not really an RPG, but it shares a lot of the same DNA as those games, and its comics, traditionally, have felt more akin to comics based around Dungeons and Dragons than any others.
Lately, we’ve seen a real resurgence in the popularity of tabletop RPGs, as well as comics inspired by them. “The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins” is one of the most successful graphic novels of the year, “Skullkickers” was a possibly the most successful, creatively, RPG-based ongoing series in many, many years, and IDW has been doing a lot with various Dungeons and Dragons properties.
