Vox Machina’s prequel comic series continues in May

This time, the writer is joined by new artist Noah Hayes, as well as returning colorist and letterer Diana Sousa and Ariana Maher – and, as always, advice from Matt Mercer and the rest of the Critical Role crew.

“I’m excited to return to Exandria and continue the adventure with Vox Machina,” Houser told Polygon via email. “The stakes have never been higher, so we’ll see if splitting the party was a good idea…”
