IDW Publishing announced it will release Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – The Feast of the Moon, a prequel to the upcoming movie.
The comic book is written by Jeremy Lambert and Ellen Boener, with art by Eduardo Ferigato and Guillermo Sanna.
Feast of the Moon introduces Edgin, Holga, and more of the movie’s ignoble antiheroes, and tells the thrilling, hilarious, and unexpected story of events leading up to the epic calamity that will ultimately ensnare them.
Stranded in a town under siege after their latest heist goes awry, Edgin and his band of thieves find themselves enmeshed in a bitter conflict between the town’s inhabitants and a tyrannical Bandit King who has exploited the town’s resources for years under threat of violence and ruin. With their backs against the wall, Edgin and his associates vow to help the townsfolk repel the Bandit King’s forces once and for all—but as the danger escalates and the thieves’ loyalties are tested, allegiances begin to shift, and it soon becomes clear that all is not as it seems.
“I can’t begin to describe how fun it was to open up my notebook filled with scribbles for old D&D campaigns and start a new chapter for a different kind of story,” says Lambert in a press release from IDW Publishing. “What I love about these characters is that they aren’t the brave, gallant, all-powerful warriors that will forever win the day—they’re regular people, just like you or me. They’re emotionally messy, and they are completely in over their heads.”
The 96-page book arrives in February 2023.
