Is it Thursday yet? Critical Role's adventure continues!

Hey Critters!

Campaign two has the whole team here gripped, and we're delighted to say that there's a growing number of ways to bring the magic of Exandria home with you. From graphic novels to comic books, from roleplaying game supplements to beautiful art books, we've got you covered.

Now, the current Vox Machina Origins II comic book has had a few slight delays recently, but rest assured the comic creators, the cast of Critical Role and Dark Horse Comics are all hard at work to bring you the next issue. Issue #5 is currently scheduled for later this month, with the concluding issue #6 expected in early March.

In the meantime, to whet our appetites, here's a look at what's available now and what's also been announced (so far!) for later in 2020 (presented in chronological order):

AVAILABLE NOW AT
PROUD LION COMICS
AND OSIRIS GAMES!

CRITICAL ROLE VOX MACHINA ORIGINS VOL 01 TP
DARK HORSE COMICS
JUN190303
(W) Matthew Colville, Matthew Mercer (A) Olivia Samson (CA) Stjepan Sejic
The band of adventurers known as Vox Machina will save the world. Eventually. But even they have to start somewhere. Six would-be heroes on seemingly different jobs find their paths intertwined as they investigate shady business in the swamp town of Stilben. They'll need to put their heads-and weapons-together to figure out what's going on . . . and keep from being killed in the process. From the creators of the hit show Critical Role comes Vox Machina's origin story, now available in paperback!

COMING SOON!

CRITICAL ROLE VOX MACHINA ORIGINS SERIES II #5 (OF 6)
DARK HORSE COMICS
OCT190324
(W) Jody Houser (A) Olivia Samson, Msassyk (CA) Will Kirkby
Let the nightmare begin!
Or rather, manifest. Keyleth, Pike, and Scanlan have journeyed to the Umbra Hills to find the skull of a nightmare. Grog's survival depends on their success (no pressure), but the cult that has supposedly been conjuring the magical beast is nowhere to be found! Unless, of course, the mysterious stranger in the local jail is right, and the nightmare cult members are right under Vox Machina's nose!

CRITICAL ROLE VOX MACHINA ORIGINS SERIES II #6 (OF 6)
DARK HORSE COMICS
NOV190228
(W) Jody Houser (A) Olivia Samson, Msassyk (CA) Hunter Bonyun
The hour of the ritual is at hand!
Whether Grog returns to his cluelessly adorable self or transforms into the murderous lich Drath Mephrun is still a big fat question mark. Vox Machina is as prepared as they're going to be, armed with spell components, new allies, and a whole lot of loyalty. But will it be enough?
Don't miss the series arc finale!

Local Comic Shop Day 2019 - Saturday 23rd November

Local Comic Shop Day, the day celebrating the independent spirit of local comic book specialty shops, returns for its fifth annual event on Saturday 23rd November.

Local Comic Shop Day is conceived and implemented by ComicsPRO comic book specialty retailers to call attention to locally owned independent comic book specialty stores, celebrating their vital role in being the primary fire-starters of pop culture with a range of exclusive - and often very limited items - available on the day!

These items are only available in VERY limited quantities and there is a strict, no reservation or pre-sales policy for Local Comic Shop Day, imposed upon us by the organisers. We recommend getting to the shop for opening time on Saturday - 10:00am - to have your best chance to get the items you might want!

Think of this as the comic book shop equivalent of Record Store Day!

Here's everything we'll have available on the day:
