Cullen Bunn Returns to the DEEPEST CATACOMBS: “In 2020, author Cullen Bunn released THE DEEPEST CATACOMBS, a serialized comic inspired by vintage advertisements for the DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS role-playing game. The story, told in 25 single-page installments, featured a different artist on every page. It was released for free for fans of comics, fantasy, and role-playing games. Now, Bunn is returning to the world of THE DEEPEST CATACOMBS with an all-new 22-page comic that will be released in a serialized format.
“When I finished releasing the initial run of THE DEEPEST CATACOMBS,” says Bunn, “I knew I would return to that world. I just loved the characters and the nostalgia, the magic and the monsters. And I loved working with so many talented artists! This was, of course, a labor of love, so it has taken me a bit of time to get the ball rolling again, but the story is going to be a ton of fun!”
The new story features returning characters—Randall, Annalynn, Kezira, Chops, and Fingerbones—delving into a frozen, haunted castle filled with wyverns, draugr, ghosts, dragons, and vampires!
“At the end of the last series,” said Bunn, “we saw a strange reptilian wyvern and undead rider in the sky. This story picks up where we left off. Our heroes will be adventuring into a dark, icy fortress. The setting is absolutely inspired by my love of old D&D modules like RAVENLOFT and CASTLE AMBER.”
Among the artists who will be contributing to this series will be Danny Luckert, AC Zamudio, Nick Zamudio, Andres Cruz, Rich Woodall, and many others.
The comic will be released in a serialized format. Supporters of Cullen Bunn’s Patreon will have early access to the pages, as well as behind-the-scenes information, scripts, and RPG content. The comic pages will then be released for free to the reading public just a couple of days later. With DEEPEST CATACOMBS, Bunn wanted all readers to be able to enjoy the story without worrying about subscriptions or paywalls.

POV: It’s December 4th. You know what that means. It’s my birthday and you’re invited to my party! We’ve already been out to Finney’s Crafthouse for dinner and enjoyed cauliflower tacos and a Bavarian pretzel. Don’t forget the sweet potato fries! I’ve blown out 28 candles, plus one for good luck, and made my wish. Oh, you want to know what I wished for? It’s bad luck to share so I’m keeping it to myself. Now that dinner’s over, it’s time for gifts — but wait! Just because it’s my birthday doesn’t mean you don’t get something too. Come on, unwrap it. It’s just what you wanted: 20 new ARROW Selects hand-picked by myself. Which one are you going to watch first?
