Summary

Explore iconic locations and fan-favorite characters from across the multiverse with these thrilling stories from the history of IDW’s Dungeons & Dragons comics!

First, journey into Eberron’s seedy back alleys with Abraxis Wren in Infestation and the 2012 Annual. Eberron is a world of swashbuckling action and dark fantasy, a world ruled by great dynasties and tempered by war. It holds many wonders, from dragonmarks to war-forged, deadly dungeons to elemental airships. Abraxis Wren is the most notorious Inquisitive in the city of Sharn. Along with his assistant and close friend, Torin, Abraxis solves cases in this metropolis known as the City of Towers...and occasionally finds himself in need of a vacation. Written by Paul Crilley with art by Valerio Schiti.

Then, delve into the fabled port city of Waterdeep in Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms. An unlikely band of heroes stumble into their usual troublemaking ways, but soon discover the dark corners of the wider Realms…the hard way! Legendary world builder and writer Ed Greenwood and artists Lee Ferguson and Sal Buscema, kick off a deadly tale with a kidnapping that is more—and less—than it seems.

Lastly, no D&D adventure would be complete without a trip to the Feywild. The 2022 Annual will transport readers into the whimsical Witchlight Carnival, a traveling circus filled with wild wonders aplenty. But its sensory splendors bring deep danger as well… The Wild Beyond the Witchlight adventure sourcebook that inspires this issue has been a sales smash hit. Featuring stories from writers Jim Zub and Ryan Cady with art by Eduardo Mello, Kyler Clodfelter, and Vincenzo Riccardi.
