The Legend of Vox Machina is officially returning in 2027 with a collection of prequels that will feature some of the series' most underrated yet iconic characters. So, if you're desperate for more legendary tales that bring new depth to the iconic narrative of The Legend of Vox Machina, then mark your calendars for January!
From the tabletop to the silver screen, The Legend of Vox Machina has built one of the most legendary legacies of all time. The now-hit Prime Video series began as the megapopular web series Critical Role, brought to fans by some of the industry's best voice actors, including Dungeon Master Matthew Mercer. However, the legacy of The Legend of Vox Machina goes far beyond the tabletop and Prime Video series, as the franchise has even found life in comics.
This comic legacy includes Dark Horse's Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins, a miniseries starring the show's main characters. The comics also expanded the stories of supporting characters through The Whitestone Chronicles, which served as official prequels to the TV series and explored Whitestone and its characters, including the backstories of Dr. Anna Ripley, Cassandra de Rolo, and the Briarwoods.
Now, the franchise returns to these prequel stories on January 26, 2027, with a hardcover collector's edition that collects all three prequel volumes and features brand-new cover art.
