Dark Horse, Critical Role, and Third Person present a new collection of stories from the cosmos of Midst!
Dark Horse Comics, in partnership with Third Person and Critical Role, presents Midst: Tales from the Cosmos, a new hardcover volume collecting three comic tales from the world of Midst, the popular space-Western podcast. Perfect for new and continuing fans of Midst, Midst: Tales from the Cosmos includes the three one-shot issues together in one volume:
- Midst: Address Unknown written by Colin Lorimer (Daisy, Blackout), illustrated by Alejandro Aragón (Death Orb, Resonant), colored by Chris O’Halloran, lettered by Jim Campbell (If You Find This, I’m Already Dead)
- Midst: The Valorous Farmer written by Jasmine Walls (Brooms, The Last Session), illustrated by Aviv Or (Critical Role: The Tales of Exandria—Artagan), colored by Quinton Winter (The Sword of Hyperborea), and lettered by Jim Campbell
- Midst: Ripples written by Kendra Wells (Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins—Caduceus Clay, Real Hero Shit), illustrated by Vash Taylor (Of Her Own Design, Galaxy: The Prettiest Star), colored by Valentina Bianconi (Doctor Who: The Fifteenth Doctor, Dogs of London), and lettered by Jim Campbell
Caught between the Un and the Fold sits the islet of Midst…
What do a crash landing on an uncharted islet, a struggling farmer in the Un, and a small Fold town plagued by peculiar changes have in common? They’re all part of the strange and expanding cosmos of Midst, the hit sci-fi/western podcast series from Third Person in conjunction with Critical Role. Explore the people, places, and bizarre phenomena that will immerse you in the unexpected and unique stories of an entirely new cosmos.
“These three standalone stories illuminate new aspects of the Midst cosmos: the historic origins of the titular islet itself, the everyday struggles of average working-class Trust citizens, and a transformative disruption to an isolated deep-Fold community,” said Third Person. “We’re so honored and impressed by the amazing talent of everyone who helped bring these stories to life, and we can’t wait to share them in the form of a handsome hardcover collection – with beautiful new cover art by Will Kirkby!”
Midst: Tales from the Cosmos (hardcover, 160 pages, 6.625” x 10.1875”) lands in bookstores and comic shops on August 12, 2025. It is now available to preorder at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, TFAW, Dark Horse Direct, and your your local comic shop and indie bookstores for $29.99.
