Five D&D monsters are gathering into their own adventuring party in Dungeons & Dragons: Total Party Killers. The fantasy series is written by Christopher Hastings (The Unbelievable Gwenpool), illustrated by Denis Medri (Red Hood/Arsenal), and colored by Dan Jackson (Stranger Things). The four-issue series from Dark Horse Books and Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast division begins in July 2026.

“The wizard Custos has died, and his lair lies ripe for the taking! As adventurers raid the lair for treasure, the monsters enthralled by Custos in life must protect his domain even after his death. That is, unless the creatures can trick someone into releasing them! Thus, a lycanthrope, gelatinous cube, mind flayer, death knight, and baby beholder form their own adventuring party to win their freedom in a hostile world!” according to the synopsis.

The first issue features covers by Elizabeth Beals, Matías Bergara (1:20 incentive), Michael Walsh, and Lukas Ketner, plus a blank character sheet cover. Dungeons & Dragons: Total Party Killers #1 is scheduled to go on sale on July 22.
