Dungeons & Dragons #2

IDW's Dungeons & Dragons #2 plunges right into the action with Tyler Walpole's cover painting of two powerfully built warriors locked in a brutal close-quarters struggle — a red-bearded fighter pinning a similarly auburn-haired opponent while raising a wicked, claw-hilted dagger for a decisive strike. The tension radiating from that single, visceral moment sets the tone perfectly for "Shadowplague Part Two: Hide in Plain Sight," written by John Rogers with interior art by Andrea Di Vito. If this is how the series looks just two issues in, fans of sword-and-sorcery adventure have every reason to keep reading.
