In the twentieth year of free comics, we bring you stories expanding on two epic worlds. In Critical Role, explore a small but important corner from the adventures of the Mighty Nein. Then, in The Witcher, it's an original tale featuring the iconic witcher, Geralt! Created in close collaboration with CD Projekt Red!

Early in the 21 Century, the Tyrell Corporation advanced robot evolution into the Nexus phase – a being virtually identical to a human – known as a Replicant. The early Nexus models were intended to reassure the public – and corporate interests – that Replicants were viable replacements to perform jobs considered too hazardous or mundane for humans. In Los Angeles, a child was diagnosed with a rare spinal affliction. Her mother departed for an Off-World colony, hoping to find employment to support her daughter back home. She was never heard of again. The grown of Off-world colonies fuelled the rapid development and construction of new Nexus models. By the time Nexus 5 Replicants were ready, they were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them. The girl was raised by her grandmother. Over time, she learned to survive on the crowded streets of Los Angeles, among those too poor and infirm to leave Earth. After a bloody mutiny by a Nexus 6 combat team in an Off-world colony, Replicants were declared illegal on Earth – under penalty of death. Special police squads – Blade Runner units – had orders to shoot and kill, upon detection, any trespassing Replicant. The girl, now grown, calls herself ASH. She is the most capable Blade Runner in the city.

In Critical Role: Vox Machina, travels far and wide... But which ones are just colorful flights of fancy, and which are actually true? Gather 'round as several of these tall tales are told, each more far-fetched than the last. Writer Jody Houser (Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins II, Stranger Things), artist Hunter Bonyun, and colorist Stephan McGowan bring the Critical Role story to life. Then get an introduction to the world of Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, a new comic series adapted by award-winning comics writer and artist P. Craig Russell (American Gods, Only the End of the World Again) with colors by Lovern Kindzierski (Shame, Necromantic) and letters by Galen Showman (The Graveyard Book, Murder Mysteries).

An excitng post-apocalyptic action/adventure as a man tries to save both himself and what he can of the old world. A year ago, a massive solar flare destroyed the Earth's eastern hemisphere with the power of a thousand nuclear bombs. But amid chaos, there's profit. That's where Jake comes in, retrieving valuable items from the remains… when he can outwit the competition and the mutated locals.

Our story takes place a thousand years after a global cataclysm. Earth has been remade into a lush, thriving ecosystem, but with a new dominant species: the machines. These massive, animal-like robots fill the lands, oceans, and skies, serving as the guardians and enforcers of the revived natural order. New generations of humans formed into pre-industrial tribes, without knowledge of the doomed civilization that preceded them, that of the “Old Ones” – us. Little did they know that threats from the ancient world persisted, the greatest of which was HADES, a mysterious A.I. bent on wiping out all organic life. Bolstered by an army of misguided zealots and corrupted machines, it launched a massive assault on humanity’s largest tribe. After a desperate battle, HADES was defeated by Aloy, the greatest machine hunter of her age, and a coalition of faithful allies at the city of Meridian. Now Talanah, one of Aloy’s closest confidantes and the newly appointed Sunhawk of the Hunters Lodge, seeks a moment of respite after the epic struggle.
