The Forgotten Runes role playing game has seen its first comic book adaptation, giving fans a deeper look inside the Runiverse. Titan Comics released a trailer for the Forgotten Runes: Wizard’s Cult graphic novel, which arrives in December 2024.
“What begins as a seemingly unconnected series of fantastic tales about disparate wizards – Archmagus Crowley of Atlantis, who has been hired to steal a treasure chest from a ship in the middle of the ocean; Mystic Willow of the Brambles who’s dealing with her own drama, as the humans in a nearby village wrongfully accuse her of abducting children; Alchemist Danny of the Fey’s apprentice begins to suspect her master has been kidnapped and replaced with an imposter – gradually merges into a much larger, and more terrifying tale,” per the synopsis.
“Who is Chronomancer George of Dreams, the mysterious narrator guiding us through each amazing story? Are they visions of the past, premonitions of the future, or something far more sinister that threatens the very fabric of the Runiverse itself?” the description continues.
Forgotten Runes: Wizard’s Cult is written by Joe Rechtman (Unborn) with art by Reilly Brown (Cable & Deadpool). Collecting all four issues of the miniseries, it will be in comic shops on December 31.
