Exandria, the imaginative world of Critical Role, is becoming increasingly popular with the release of the new Prime Video animated series, Critical Role: The Mighty Nein. While many fans are already familiar with the story, characters, and thrilling adventures from the original Critical Role campaign, they can now explore the world even further. A new digital comic series has launched on WEBTOON, acting as both a companion to the animated show and a prequel that expands on the characters’ backstories – a development that will delight both longtime fans (‘Critters’) and newcomers alike.
The digital comic Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins is a collaboration with Dark Horse Comics, and it tells the popular story in a unique, scrolling format. It expands on the heroes’ history, revealing their earlier adventures and how they became the team we know.
The New WEBTOON Format Gives Fans More Backstory
This release is perfectly timed! With the animated series Critical Role: The Mighty Nein gaining popularity and attracting a large audience on Prime Video, the Mighty Nein Origins WEBTOON is a great way for new fans to learn about the characters’ backstories. The comics are based on the hugely successful Critical Role tabletop RPG and tell the story of the early adventures of the beloved cast from the second campaign.
What makes the Origins series so good is its combination of engaging roleplaying and captivating storytelling. The animated show follows the main plot, while the comic book delves into the backstories of the characters, revealing what shaped them. This is great news for fans who want to know more about the characters themselves. The prequel series provides a closer look at their motivations, challenges, and relationships, enriching the overall story viewers will experience on Prime Video.
The way WEBTOON presents stories – with a single, scrolling format – is especially noteworthy. It’s perfect for reading on phones and introduces the rich world of Exandria to a new, digitally-focused audience, making its complex story easy to follow. Plus, WEBTOON’s collaboration with Dark Horse Comics, who already know the Critical Role universe well, ensures the story is high-quality and true to its roots – just what fans want.
If you love the animated series, this comic is a great addition. It doesn’t simply retell the story you already know – it builds on the world, showing how the heroes originally met and what motivated them to start their dangerous journey. The story of the Mighty Nein is just beginning, and now fans can enjoy it through both the animated show and this exciting comic.
Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins is available on WEBTOON now.
