History Comicbook / DungeonsAndDragons

** Although Bree insists that it's just a "delayed flank."

The series generally runs on RuleOfFun and RuleOfCool, and often reads like as a bunch of creative players playing their characters as it does an actual story - it's another success story in IDW's creative partnership with Hasbro.

* BadassAdorable: Bree

* ImprovisedWeapon: Invoked by a one particularly skilled orc chieftain (much to Adric's displeasure) who was hoping he'd choose and orcish weapon during an honor duel.

--->Khal: "Adric's plans are rarely ''good'' ones, but they're quick."
--->Varis: "You'd be surprised how much more useful a skill that is in the adventuring trade."

* '''Varis''' - Varis is your typical [[OurElvesAreBetter Wood Elf]] ranger. He's handsome, dashing, loves nature, and [[TheArcher skilled with a bow]]. He also uses two [[AnAxeToGrind Handaxes]] for close range combat. Constantly snarks about everything, including ''[[ScrewYouElves other elves]]'' (specifically, Eladrin).

Hasbro and IDW Publishing seem to work well together. Their professional relationship started with the highly successful ''{{Transformers}}'' comics, which have varied in quality from the mediocre ''AllHailMegatron'' to the critically praised ''LastStandOfTheWreckers'', and continued with ''GIJoe'' comics. So naturally, the next step was for Hasbro to choose another popular franchise that could translate well into the comics medium. The obvious choice was ''Dungeons&Dragons''.

* MsFanservice: Tisha.

* OurOrcsAreDifferent: The typical DungeonsAndDragons ProudWarriorRace version

* '''Khal Khalundurrin''' - Khal is a [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwarf]] [[ThePaladin Paladin]]. He favors a [[DropTheHammer hammer]], and is quick to comment on the superiority of dwarven crafting. As [[ElvesVersusDwarves usual]], he doesn't get along with Varis. Is a [[HiddenDepths surprisingly good]] [[WarriorPoet poet.]]

* '''Tisha Swornheart''' - The resident mage, Tisha is a Tiefling Warlock. She joins the team about halfway through the first issue, and generally is the nuker. If you can't tell by the way she's dressed, she's also the resident MissFanservice, as is the standard with female warlocks.

* RunningGag: Bad days, terrible rescues, and there is never any good news.

* '''Adric Fell''' -- Adric is a human fighter who uses a sword and shield. He's a master of the IndyPloy, and is a pretty strong GuileHero. He's rugged and tough, and seems to have a slightly shady past.

* TakeThatKiss: Aldric does this [[spoiler:[[FunnyMoments to an orc!]]]]

* DontSplitTheParty: Stated word-for-word in one issue.

* '''Adric Fell''' -- TheLeader, Adric is a human fighter who uses a sword and shield. He's a master of the IndyPloy, and is a pretty strong GuileHero. He's rugged and tough, and seems to have a slightly shady past.

* '''Varis''' - TheLancer, Varis is your typical [[OurElvesAreBetter Wood Elf]] ranger. He's handsome, dashing, loves nature, and [[TheArcher skilled with a bow]]. He also uses two [[AnAxeToGrind Handaxes]] for close range combat. Constantly snarks about everything, including ''[[ScrewYouElves other elves]]'' (specifically, Eladrin).

* '''Khal Khalundurrin''' - TheBigGuy, Khal is a [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwarf]] [[ThePaladin Paladin]]. He favors a [[DropTheHammer hammer]], and is quick to comment on the superiority of dwarven crafting. As [[ElvesVersusDwarves usual]], he doesn't get along with Varis. Is a [[HiddenDepths surprisingly good]] [[WarriorPoet poet.]]

* '''Bree Three-Hands''' - TheChick, Bree is a [[{{Hobbits}} Halfling]] [[LoveableRogue rogue]]. She's always out for number one, and provides the comic relief. She's usually the one who gets Fell's Five out of any sticky situations, namely traps - she has an uncanny knack for sensing them. Not to mention sensing any gold or loot that is not nailed down and/or on fire.

* ElvesVersusDwarves

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame
