IDW Announces New Dungeons & Dragons Miniseries

Dungeons & Dragons isn't all pencil and paper. Sometimes, it's pen and paper, as in the comic books that inhabit the universe alongside the games of the same name. There's been a slew of comics to come out under the D&D banner, but IDW wants to bring out a brand new one called Dungeons & Dragons: Cutter this April, written b R.A. and Geno Salvatore, illustrated by David Baldeon and covers by Steve Ellis.

"These comic series have become a wonderful tool for me to fill in the blanks and to crystallize my thoughts on the Legend of Drizzt novels going forward," explains R.A. Salvatore. "The fallout from the twisting events in Neverwinter Tales not only came into play in the last couple of Drizzt books, but allowed me a strong plot line for an upcoming novel I've yet to pen. The same is true for Cutter - I see it already. So while these comic stories are self-contained, they open up to the wider stories going forward."

When the battle-hardened Drow renegade Tos'un must choose an heir to his legacy, his half-Drow son Tierflin and daughter Doum'weille become locked in vicious competition. But what will the prize, the bloodthirsty sword Khazid'hea, have to say on the matter? The book will hit stores April 17 with Diamond Code: FEB130303
