Dungeons & Dragons #9

IDW's Dungeons & Dragons #9 delivers a genuinely gripping cover by Tyler Walpole, depicting a sword-wielding warrior being seized in the crushing grip of an enormous dragon inside a darkened cavern, while a horned female figure looks on from a ledge above and a smaller creature lurks at the bottom of the frame. The atmosphere — all shadow, torchlight, and desperate struggle — captures exactly the kind of high-stakes adventure John Rogers and the artistic team of Di Vito, Guidi, and Domingues brought to this run. If you've been following along, issue #9 promises the series hasn't lost any of its dungeon-crawling momentum.
