Dark Horse recently released a new comic series that focuses on theDragon Ageuniverse and, more specifically, tells fans about the events precedingDragon Age: Dreadwolf. Dark Horse has released plenty of previousDragon Agecomics, ranging from standalone stories to those which have a closer connection to the games and in most, fans see the return of beloved characters. Considering the comic is advertised as a prequel toDragon Age: Dreadwolf, already in the first issue fans will encounter familiar faces.
Dragon Age: Inquisitionfollowed the story of the Inquisitor, an everyday person elevated to high military status as they gained power over The Fade rifts that threatened to tear Thedas apart after a horrible explosion saw the world turn upside down. In the game,players were introduced to Solas, a traveling apostate and Dreamer who was an expert on The Fade, and he also had the potential to steal the heart of a female elf Inquisitor. Unfortunately, Solas turned out much different than expected and now fans will have to deal with the fallout of his actions inDragon Age: Dreadwolf.

Dragon Age: Dreadwolfis highly anticipated among fans as whileDragon Age: Inquisitiondid tie up the story of Corypheus, it has launched an even bigger conflict that threatens the very existence of Thedas. Many fans are either looking forward to punishing Solas for his crimes or doing their best to save him.

For those fans, these comics will likely be an important piece of media to consume.
BioWare has introduced previous companions and side characters in other publications before, such as Cole, who was originally one of themain characters ofDragon Age: Asunder, a book by David Gaider that dealt with events in Orlais not long beforeDragon Age: Inquisition. So it is entirely possible that any character fans meet in the comic could greet them again as a companion inDragon Age: Dreadwolf.
