Dynamite Entertainment announced it is bringing back Pathfinder comics with writer Fred Van Lente on board to write.
For those wondering, “There was a Pathfinder comic book series?” Yes, but the last time we saw it was five years ago in the pages of Spiral of Bones from Crystal Fraisier.
“I’m thrilled to be back writing Pathfinder comics, and even more exciting to be writing a whole new party of Iconics meeting and adventuring together for the very first time,” said writer Fred Van Lente in a press release.
The tantalizing prospect of a rendezvous with a Geb defector in possession of priceless secrets from that undead nation is bringing together a diverse group of adventurers to the Nexian metropolis of Ecanus. Van Lente is assembling a mostly all-new grouping of heroes. Readers will get to hang out with Quinn the investigator, Sajan the monk, Lem the bard, and Seelah the champion. All have appeared before in various Pathfinder materials and even comics, but never met each other and partied up until now. Readers of the original hit series by writer Jim Zub and others will be reacquainted with Harsk the dwarf ranger too though! When they all find themselves cornered by the city’s remorseless Deathsealers, can the Iconics band together for survival and escape a city full of hostile wizards alive?
Pathfinder: Wake the Dead will be illustrated by Eman Casallos, and will arrive in May 2023.
And what of Starfinder comics? According to Paizo, that series is just around the corner.
