Dungeons & Dragons Legends of Baldur's Gate #1

IDW's Legends of Baldur's Gate #1 kicks off this Dungeons & Dragons adventure in 2014 with a cover by Sarah Stone that immediately commands attention — a powerfully built, bald warrior grips a large sword while cradling a small hamster protectively in his palm, that quiet tenderness set against his imposing frame making for an unexpectedly charming image. The "Tyranny of Dragons" banner ties this series into the broader D&D world, and with Jim Zub writing alongside artist Max Dunbar and colorist Jean-Paul Bove on interior duties, there's genuine craft behind this opening chapter. If you've ever wanted to see Baldur's Gate brought to the comics page, this is a warm and confident place to start.
