This is quite literally the best comic I have read in the last couple of years. It's by John Rogers and Andrea Divito. The dialog is snappy and well crafted. The action is almost non-stop. The plots are deep and intriguing. The art is beautiful.
If you like or ever played D&D you absolutely must read it. If you have any level of interest in fantasy you must read it. If you are not interested in fantasy still give it a shot.
The first issue (0) is free on Comixology, and the other 14 are only $1.99. Best $28 I have spent in a while. The issues are compressed enough that you feel you have gotten more than you $2 worth.

I forgot to mention that the lead character is like a cross between Indiana Jones and Sherlock Holmes.

Here's a sneak peak at some of the interior art. I'm going to spoiler for those who don't want to see it before they buy it:

There's also an animated project in the works for this, which has leaked onto the internet:

Tom Hanks is looking at attaching to a movie project, tentatively titled "Blood on my Knife."

It's good you losers.
(P.S. I loved that ad from comics in the 80's. I always wondered how that ended. I believe there was a third installment that Judge has failed to include.)

The third instalment features those characters.... ....eating Hostess fruit pies, while looking at sea-monkeys through x-ray specs.

I believe that some of the Dungeons & Dragons artwork is by Fables scribe Bill Willingham.

It looks like the art of a guy who ended up as a writer.

I've often wondered how hard it would be to obtain the rights to The Elementals considering Comico is defunct...

Though I'd never be the one to write it (too lazy), I always figured a good main character for a D&D series would be part Sherlock Holmes. The trouble, of course, is magic of a divination nature. Mysteries aren't that impressive when you can ring up God (or some such) and just ask, or when they come from knowing details of a fantasy culture the audience has little hope of knowing. The save there might be that magic is very expensive, so relying on it is something they'd rather not do or they'd use only as a last resort, so old-fashion brain power, observation and deduction, still lays the ground work for whatever adventure they are on.
