Featuring a new adventure from the world of Critical Role!
Dark Horse Books and Critical Role present Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins IV, available in Summer 2025 in a collected volume, which will be presented both in paperback and a Deluxe Edition hardcover. Created in consultation with the cast of Critical Role, this new adventure is written by New York Times-bestselling author Jody Houser (Orphan Black, Stranger Things), illustrated by Noah Hayes (The Avant-Guards), colored by Diana Sousa (Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins, Mall Goth), and lettered by Ariana Maher (James Bond, Critical Role).
After the disappearance of Sir Fince, Vox Machina is tasked with investigating his whereabouts. After some poking and prodding, the team is led to a mysterious basement where dark forces loom. Meanwhile, Vax and Pike face off against a vicious chimera which puts both of their fighting skills to the test, and the rest of the crew navigate an underground cavern in hopes of reuniting with the two. It’ll take the help of an unexpected ally to guide the members of Vox Machina to their next objective: the Clasp’s headquarters.
Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins IV will be available in both a paperback and a Deluxe Edition hardcover with bonus materials. Both versions collect issues #1-6 of the series, a sketchbook section, and cover gallery. The deluxe edition also features a stunning, easy-to-hold faux-leather cover with an intricate metallic design and a gallery-quality lithograph collected in a matching slipcase!
