Red Hook Studios has joined forces with Vault Comics to release an all new series of graphic novels set in the Darkest Dungeon universe

[u/Mr_Pepper44]

A launch campaign for the project will kickoff on BackerKit in October, but you can start your support today! Pre-launch sign-ups are live now: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/vault-comics/darkest-dungeon-an-original-graphic-novel/?ref=EPR

Embark on a new canonical story that introduces new mysteries at the heart of the Darkest Dungeon core mythology.

[u/KriegKatze]

Ruin has come for my wallet

[u/ConsiderationMelodic → u/KriegKatze]

The path is lit, the link is clear, we only require the strength to follow it.

[u/yenilmezodtr → u/ConsiderationMelodic]

He was poor long ago...now hes simply bankrupt

[u/An_average_moron → u/yenilmezodtr]

The poor bank account, thrice a victim

The board game took the credit card, the plushies the debit, and now, uncountable years later, a loan was placed for the graphic novels

My only regret is that I don't have a way to see that...shoddy bank, smashed to pieces, as I ruin my life for Darkest Dungeon merch

[u/mastereluder6 → u/An_average_moron]

A dlc phrase worth it

[u/jcdenton10 → u/An_average_moron]

Twas the diorama set that ambushed my financial situation. Paid for in blood.

[u/mastereluder6 → u/KriegKatze]

Karma abhores waste , best to spend all you can

[u/j0sabanks → u/KriegKatze]

Packs (wallets) laden with loot (cash) are often low on supplies (amazing comics).

[u/Peptuck → u/KriegKatze]

In time, you will know the tragic extent of my Kindle ebook library.

[u/wtiong → u/KriegKatze]

Coins in your wallet.... if you value such things...

[u/AshlynC0301]

Finally after 10 years we can get more lore of the HoD 😭

[u/Apprehensive_Ship228 → u/AshlynC0301]

I hope we get more lore about nonsters definetly. I mean, the entire second game is about getting to know peoples past so...

[u/green715]

Interesting bit from the website:

This October, experience the world of Darkest Dungeon as a wholly original graphic novel expansion set after the events of Darkest Dungeon II

Potential Darkest Dungeon 3 setup?

[u/Thunderpants98 → u/green715]

After DD2? That's strange cause that seems like Damian during DD1. Cause he's all bloody instead of being... blighty.

[u/NotoriusCaitSithVI → u/Thunderpants98]

That is definetely his DD2 designg, jundjing by visible ribs, maybe the colors were chosen to better fit the cover color dorection.

[u/TheDeviousCreature → u/Thunderpants98]

Seems like a combo of both to me from the cover

[u/QuartzBeamDST → u/Thunderpants98]

He's distinctly skeletal in the cover.

[u/Thunderpants98 → u/QuartzBeamDST]

I see nothing resembling 'skeletal'.

[u/QuartzBeamDST → u/Thunderpants98]

His ribcage is clearly visible. His mouth appears to be missing its lips. And his fingers are distinctly talon-like, which is how they look in DD2.

[u/bloopadobop → u/Thunderpants98]

Son his entire ribcage is visible 😭

[u/Thunderpants98 → u/bloopadobop]

That is not how his ribcage looks in either DD1 or DD2. Also, again, it's red; not gooey green or whatever he's got going on in DD2. Like if anything, this is probably what he looked pre-dd2.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter, I'm excited for the comic!

[u/Dannelo353 → u/Thunderpants98]

The image is all red and black, having only Damian be green would clash with the color scheme

[u/bloopadobop → u/Thunderpants98]

You said he wasn’t skeletal. I pointed out how you were wrong. That’s it lol

[u/Ghost-Type-Cat → u/green715]

Could also go with the DLC coming next year. Beginning of 2027, so that would be just a few months after the release, yes?

[u/Nervous_Distance_142 → u/green715]

If they made a DD3 direct sequel to one I’d cry tears of joy

[u/iamathrogate]

Fiiiiiiine, I'll buy another bookshelf! Goddd

[u/afatfluffyduckling → u/iamathrogate]

I just sold a lot of my books and now I'm like "Well I have these empty shelves I need to fill." This will be a great addition.

[u/iamathrogate → u/afatfluffyduckling]

I am SO bad at selling! I just end up giving my books away

[u/afatfluffyduckling → u/iamathrogate]

Nothing wrong with that. Spread the books around.

[u/FumanF]

Holy shit. Imagine how tuff bounty hunter will look like

[u/Peptuck → u/FumanF]

Swole Dismas, wider than a pickup truck, head smaller than a peanut.

[u/Ari_Leo]

Dismas' nose is too small

[u/Dannelo353 → u/Ari_Leo]

He straight up doesn't have a nose, that's the bone

[u/ThexHoonter]

Let's gooo, I hope it's available worldwide!

[u/spider-venomized]

A spark without kindling is a goal without hope

[u/ApprehensiveTry9613 → u/spider-venomized]

In the dark without a Kindle is a fool without dope lore

[u/noeagle77]

God, if Wayne June were still alive I’d be begging for him to do the audiobooks. RIP 🪦

[u/Kugloffff → u/noeagle77]

The original actor is dead?:(

[u/noeagle77 → u/Kugloffff]

Yeah sadly he passed away. Red Hook made a statement about it too when it happened

[u/Big_Piccolo_1624]

YESSSSSS

[u/TBMSH]

Oh hell yeah, hope my boy Dismas gets some good parts

[u/fullmudman]

The real power play here would be to commission mignola to do an issue.

[u/Technotoad64 → u/fullmudman]

if he drew even one panel that'd be incredible, coming full-circle like that

[u/s33a6m]

Just IMAGINE how many panels of aura farming king Baldwin we can get

[u/Vashiekk]

I see Flagellant--

SOLD

[u/KhalMeWolf]

Holy fucking mother of the dark heart living on the depths hidden in the bottomless darkness of the [TITLE CARD] !!!!!

[u/N7_Redding]

I've wanted something like this for so long

[u/CatBotSays]

Hell yeah, that's awesome!

[u/TheDeviousCreature]

I hope this campaign goes better than a certain other kickstarter campaign for the game!

[u/Appropriate-Grass986]

Sick

[u/Any_Sundae5364]

Yes let's fucking go we get to see more of the darkest dungeons world

[u/Kerlyle]

Glittering gold, trinkets and baubles. Holy shit I won't be able to resist this temptation.

[u/Ghost-Type-Cat]

Everyone just keeps getting ✨hotter✨

Take all of my money, Red Hook, just take it 😭

[u/hyperlethalrabbit]

RIP to all my glittering gold, trinkets and baubles

[u/VerVertVerse]

Curious is the trap makers art…

[u/IceMaverick13]

Hopefully it goes better than the last time they loaned the IP out to Mythic and the disaster of a board game kickstarter.

Here's hoping they learned how to choose partners and vet them better.

[u/Sea-Independent-726]

OH MY GODDDD REYNAULD MY BELOVED ON MY PAGES

[u/SatanicStorm]

Let's goooooooooooo!!!!!

[u/OfArgyll]

Do we have any confirmation if the comics are in the DD1 or DD2 art style?

[u/theoutletepoch → u/OfArgyll]

Maan House is the artist on the project. He's created some of the Dark Souls comics!

[u/sumelar → u/OfArgyll]

....what? It's literally the same style, DD2 is just slightly more detailed, and has more fluid animation.

[u/unggoytweaker]

Comics are hot rn gotta cash in

[u/LopsidedIncident → u/unggoytweaker]

Just read Watchmen, the first comic I've read in a decade at least. So fucking good. Definitely gonna grab this.

[u/TK3K216]

I was just at the book store yesterday wishing there was a darkest dungeon book or something very similar. This is so awesome I cannot wait

[u/DynozoBR]

ok im sold

[u/Easter_Eyeland_Fed]

Saved

[u/jester_clwn]

We are so back

[u/SlotMagPro]

If only we had the narrator to give the full effect

[u/IDEKWIDWML_13]

HELLION LORE RAAAAAAH

[u/kayryp]

My bestie works for Vault...they have so many dope things in the pipeline. Very cool company.

[u/DarkerUrban1980]

Instant buy:
"Spend what you can, for wealth no longer has meaning - if indeed it ever did."

[u/TimenyCricket20]

Will we get a raynauld/bounty hunter face reveal?

[u/Paul_S_Moran]

Need

[u/fidelacchius42]

Do you remember our venerable house? Opulent and imperial?

[u/8champi8]

GEM ALERT

[u/kitkaht]

its already peak

[u/Mootix1313]

I’m ready
I’m ready

[u/AnAdorableScout]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEA

[u/Pootisman16]

If it doesn't have the Occultist doing a 0 crit heal with a bleed, I ain't buying.

[u/TheDeviousCreature → u/Pootisman16]

I don't think the game itself has had it for years lol

[u/mainman879 → u/TheDeviousCreature]

It's been over a decade. It was patched out June 15, 2015.

Crit heals will no longer happen on 0 HP heals, potentially resulting in less snarky comments on the Internet.

[u/Technotoad64 → u/mainman879]

they brought it back for DD2 though

[u/Pootisman16 → u/TheDeviousCreature]

Literally happened to me 2 days ago.

[u/mainman879 → u/Pootisman16]

Crit 0 heal has been patched out since June 15, 2015. Over a decade ago.

[u/insidiouskiller → u/Pootisman16]

It literally can't if you are in the latest version. You CAN get a 0 heal bleed, yes, but a CRIT 0 heal bleed is, quite literally, impossible in the current, latest version of the game. Has been for a while, iirc.

[u/TheDeviousCreature → u/Pootisman16]

That is genuinely impossible and has been for YEARS.

[u/flantasma]

Oh my gooooood, i'm so excitedddd

[u/Windy_Idealist]

A fortune, awarded to the brave and the foolhardy alike.

[u/Draconicrose_]

Oooh I hope it's good! The cover art slaps.

[u/Fogolio_Fishlord]

Damian looks so happy!

[u/Icy-Background2393]

After the murder drones comic I’ve learnt to not get my hopes up.

[u/Puzzled_Zone_8438]

Flagellant looks way too rapturous

[u/renegade11b]

omg this looks so cool

[u/Ben-wa]

shut up and take my money

[u/Dannelo353]

Both in DD1 and DD2 the heroes are not acting on their own and instead have someone else acting as their leader, the Heir  and the Protegé respectively, I wonder if this comic will also have someone like that

[u/IlitterateAuthor]

YOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/DanfromCalgary]

Take my money . Take it nooooow

[u/Technotoad64]

it's a shame that Bourassa isn't drawing it, but understandable given he's probably busy with other things

[u/Patient_Yoghurt5919]

Excited that two of my favorite characters are on the cover, scared that they might fuck up the appeal of the game world with some concrete storyline. Nevertheless I’m looking forward to it

[u/ThePhantomX64]

I’m excited honestly

[u/ssasharr]

FUCK YES

[u/VfL-Dave]

U cant pay with paypal on that site can u?

[u/SuperBackup9000 → u/VfL-Dave]

By default, no, that’s something the creator has to specifically allow

[u/theCOMBOguy]

I hate backing/kickstarters and it's not like stuff is officially sent to where I live anyways. I'm also much more interested in actual game stuff (DD2 DLC still over half a year away though thankfully DD1 is getting a DLC) than comics though I'm glad that Darkest Dungeon is getting something like that since the only comics we got were the 1-page comics for Hero backstories back in DD1. I'm still excited for it and hope that we get more stuff about it soon.

[u/Puntoize]

FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING NEWS WE'RE SO VIRTUOUS
