Critical Role is an extremely popular role-playing podcast, hosted and created by Matthew Mercer. Dark Horse has been publishing some prequel comics, filling in gaps and helping to enrich the world that Mercer created, under the tiel of “Vox Machina Origins.” The second volume of that series is in full swing, and we are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the third issue, due out on September 18.

Lettered by Ariana Maher“Not even Pike’s holy healing could remove the scar Grog received during the ritual his friends interrupted under Gatshadow, but reaching people who could provide answers is difficult. As often happens in these situations, a stranger approaches the party with an offer: he’ll get them access to a wizard’s tower in exchange for stealing a magical item while they’re there. Simple enough. What could go wrong?
More hijinks are on the way from award-nominated writer Jody Houser (Orphan Black, Stranger Things) and first series artist Olivia Samson.”
Thanks to Dark Horse for the preview, and make sure to pick up the issue next week!
