The new five-issue series will be written by B. Dave Walters and illustrated by Tess Fowler.

“I've been adventuring in the Forgotten Realms for a long time and having the honor of contributing to that world is incredibly exciting,” Walters said Thursday in a statement about the project. “I can't wait to show the fans the power and intensity of a truly epic D&D story!”

Fowler, who recently completed a run on Kid Lobotomy, published through IDW’s Black Crown imprint, added, “I have dreamed of making Dungeons & Dragons comics since I was 12 years old, but A Darkened Wish is beyond anything I could have hoped for. Working with B. Dave Walters on this project is the coolest.”

The series follows a young wizard, Helene, as she and her friends journey from the island of Mintarn to unimagined adventures as years of peace come to an end at the hands of a threat no-one saw coming. Beyond Helene and crew, the return of "legendary heroes" is also teased for the story.

Dungeons & Dragons: A Darkened Wish is set to launch in February. Below is Fowler’s cover for the first issue.
