The prehistory of the Vox Machina gang continues to be written, as Jody Houser returns to the best-selling Vox Machina Origins series for volume IV.

“I’m excited to head back to Exandria and continue the adventure alongside Vox Machina,” Houser told Polygon via email. “The stakes have never been higher, so we’ll see if splitting the party was a good idea...”
What’s in store for our heroes? According to the official summary of Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins IV #1:

Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins lV will be a six-issue miniseries. The first issue is currently available for preorder and will hit shelves on May 29 — check out the full cover below:
