'Dragon Age: Magekiller' #1 Is The Adventure That Thedas Demands
I think I can pinpoint the moment that I fell in love with the backstory of the Dragon Age games as my realization that Thedas, the name of the world in which all your adventures were taking place, was really just an acronym for "The Dragon Age Setting," which just happened to sound like a nifty name for a fantasy world. Even beyond that, though, I love the world-building that goes on in those games, and the way that it's weaved into a story that feels like it has a vast history full of cultures and religions that are engaging and vibrant, with bits and pieces that are even more interesting than the main storyline sometimes. But as much as I love reading all that stuff in the game itself, and as much as I'd prefer it if there was a way to read all that stuff without having to stop in the middle of my dungeon crawling and page through whatever ancient tome I just picked up, it's not the kind of thing that I thought I'd be into reading, say, an entire novel about. It was going to take a lot to get me to follow it from the game into another medium, which is probably why Dark Horse decided to give the new Dragon Age: Magekiller comic to the creative team of Greg Rucka and Carmen Carnero, and ended up with a comic that's unsurprisingly pretty great.

After a week that already saw Greg Rucka announce a new project at Image Expo alongside Nicola Scott (the supernatural crime procedural Black Magick), on top of ongoing concerns Lazarus with Michael Lark and the Lady Sabre webcomic with Rick Burchett, it probably felt like Rucka had enough on his plate. As it turns out, there was room for one more new book, announced just before this week's San Diego Comic-Con, and now we know what it is: Dragon Age: Magekiller, a new miniseries based on Bioware's popular series of video games.

"Dragon Age" #1 comes out today from IDW, a comics adaptation of the swords and sorcery role-playing video game that made news a while back for including same-sex liaisons among its possible romantic entanglements. And while we were initially intrigued at the idea of bringing the rich storytelling of the game into the world of comics, we were less than thrilled to discover that the comic

"Dragon Age: Origins" is a cool game. It's no "Dragon's Lair," but then again, is anything? Still, "Dragon Age" has some things that "Dragon Lair" doesn't have - a brand new comic book series and set of action figures. BioWare is already in the game on both fronts with their "Mass Effect 2" comic books from Dark Horse and their toys from DC Direct,
