Minsc and Boo to Make Another Appearance… in Ravenloft

It’s hard to imagine our friends Minsc and Boo living out their eternal friendship in anywhere but The Forgotten Realms, but according to Jim Zub’s announcement of a new Dungeons & Dragons comic book series, they’re about to be drawn into Ravenloft via “mysterious forces”. I’ll definitely be adding this one to my comic collection, if only to see how the legendary duo fares against the undead:

I’m thrilled to announce that DUNGEONS & DRAGONS comics make their triumphant return in April and I’m writing the new series! The gang at Wizards of the Coast have been incredibly supportive and we have tons of great stuff planned. Make sure you pre-order it from your local comic retailer.

Here’s the solicitation to the first issue:
