Canto

Canto is a small clockwork soldier who carries a clock in place of a heart, set in a world where such beings are enslaved. His quest for freedom and love drives him on a heroic journey far beyond his origins as a diminutive mechanical warrior.

A small but mighty figure who stepped onto the comics scene in 2019, Canto made their debut in IDW's Dungeons & Dragons: A Darkened Wish under the creative hands of B. Dave Walters and Tess Fowler before earning their own spotlight across multiple dedicated series. The fact that this Modern Age character graduated from a guest appearance to headlining titles like Canto III: Lionhearted and Canto: Tales of the Unnamed World speaks volumes about the resonance they found with readers. There's something genuinely special about a character born in the rich soil of a D&D tie-in who carved out their own corner of the IDW universe — a testament to the kind of storytelling that makes collectors sit up and take notice.
