Praise for Critical Role comics and graphic novels:
“This collection is a delight, with four distinct and different stories to help get a glimpse into the history of the Mighty Nein. For those who miss these lovable lunatics, it’s a great chance to revisit them, and for those just learning, it’s an interesting and engrossing introduction to characters that have so much depth and life that it’ll be hard not to pick up the show and follow them on the long journey they go on once they meet the rest of the cast, and each other.”—Fanbase Press
“It’s a fantastic story filled with amazing action, thrills, and the kind of world-building that I love from the world of Critical Role. Every moment is worth the read and adds many great character moments for Ripley and the rest of the characters.”—The Super Powered Fancast (The Legend of Vox Machina: The Whitestone Chronicles Volume 1—Ripley)
“Critical Role fans will leap at this opportunity to delve further into the background of their favorite characters, whilst newcomers looking for a jumping on point will find this a welcome read.”—Turnaround UK
“If you’re a fan of Critical Role, and if you’re curious about the exploits of the show’s first cast of characters, this volume is a fantastic primer and one you won’t regret.”—Women Write About Comics (Vox Machina Origins Library Edition)
“Vox Machina Origins is a triple-threat treat to fans new, old, and uninitiated. Awesome artwork = check. Superb storytelling = check. Humour, heart, and a heavy right hook of action = check, check, check.”—The Fantasy Hive
“Vox Machina Origins II is one of the best comics adaptations I've read in a while. It oozes fun and personality, and serves as an excellent starting point for fans interested in what Critical Role has to offer. It's also a great fantasy series that can be enjoyed by anyone who loves traditional adventures in high fantasy.”—Comicbook.com
DARK HORSE BOOKS PRESENTS “SUPERCROOKS LIBRARY EDITION”
Supercrooks Library Edition
The latest Millarworld creation to be presented in oversized hardcover format
About Supercrooks:
Why do supervillains always pull jobs in the cities with all the superheroes? The last place you’d want to rob a bank is Metropolis or Gotham, because you’re only going to get caught and tossed in prison. But Europe doesn’t have any superheroes at all. If you’re an American supervillain looking to make a few bucks, there’s worse places than Spain to hang out for a few weeks and get a suntan while you pull a legendary job against one of the greatest criminal minds of all time–who’s retired to the Costa Del Sol and has his loot stored away in a secret location.
Supercrooks Library Edition (112 pages, hardcover, 8” x 12.1875”) will be available in bookstores and comic shops on July 7 and 8, 2026. It is now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop or bookstore for $49.99.

“Super Crooks is a fun heist story that makes you want to reread it immediately, so you can look back at all of the clues you missed along the way..”—Fanbase Press
