New D&D Baldur's Gate 3 Series Stars Everyone’s Favorite Vampire Spawn

Larian Studios’ smash hit RPG Baldur's Gate 3 is packed with rich characters, but the clear fan favorite is the vampire spawn rogue Astarion Ancunín. The sassy undead heartthrob already got a prequel novel written by Nettle & Bone author T. Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon), and now he’s starring in an ongoing comic series announced at New York Comic Con.

The first six issues of Baldur’s Gate 3 will follow Astarion after he frees himself from the influence of his vampire master Cazador Szarr during the events of the game. New trouble is brewing in Waterdeep, and Astarion has to investigate a string of ritual murders before he becomes the killer’s next victim.

The story will be written by Alyssa Wong (Deadpool), penciled by Vincenzo Carratù (Hulk: Smash Everything), inked by Elisabetta D’Amico (Avengers Assemble), colored by Valentina Taddeo (Werewolf by Night), and lettered by Buddy Beaudoin (The Flash). There will be five variant covers including art from Gerald Parel, Scott Fischer, Angela Wu, and Tyler Walpole.

Baldur’s Gate 3 will continue with a 12-issue arc starring the tiefling barbarian Karlach as she travels through the Nine Hells. That story will be written by Becky Cloona (Gotham Academy) and illustrated by Francesco Scimonelli (Dick Tracy).

Wizards of the Coast is returning to Dungeons & Dragons' post-apocalyptic setting Dark Sun in 2027. Dark Horse is also heading to the wasteland of Athas for a trilogy of standalone graphic novels.
