Dark Souls III released in 2016, wrapping up the main trilogy of the critically acclaimed action RPG series from FromSoftware, with Dark Souls: Remastered following in 2018. While its incredible difficulty and dark fantasy world helped the franchise stand out in the gaming genre, its mysterious lore and ever-expanding mythology also contributed to its enduring fan appeal. Now, that franchise-defining lore expands once more in a new, bingeable Dark Souls release.

On December 3, 2025, Dark Souls returned with Dark Souls: Mother of Mourning #1, the first installment in what would become an epic four-part miniseries from Titan Comics. Returning fans to the dark fantasy world of the Dark Souls video game franchise, the series went on to expand the franchise’s lore, bringing brand-new content to fans.

Brought to life by the creative talents of writer George Mann, artist Maan House, and colorist Steve Canon, this miniseries did a commendable job of expanding the Dark Souls mythos. The miniseries followed the Knights of Mourning as the group searched for a way to save their dying world, only to ultimately be consumed by madness when they turned to the Mother of Lillies, a soulless, mummified saint whose salvation came with a twisted price.

While this miniseries originally wrapped up on May 20, 2026, with Dark Souls: Mother of Mourning #4, Titan Comics has just recently released Dark Souls: Mother of Mourning Vol. 1, which collects all four issues into one masterpiece that is as beautiful as it is grim.

One of the greatest strengths of this miniseries, and therefore the full collection, is how its art perfectly captures the mood and defining atmosphere of the game, delivering the dark fantasy that fans have come to expect. The covers for each issue, and thus those featured in the volume, are masterpieces in their own right, featuring work from Björn Barends, Raymond Gay, Ito, and Reza Afshar, as well as equally stunning variant covers from other A-tier creators.
