Midst is undoubtedly one of the most popular shows to fall under the Critical Role umbrella, and now that podcast series is getting a new comic book spinoff. Dark Horse, Critical Role, and Third Person have joined forces to release the hardcover graphic novel Midst: Tales From the Cosmos.
Midst: Tales From the Cosmos is a 160-page book that collects Dark Horse’s three previously released one-shot comics, Midst: Address Unknown, Midst: The Valorous Farmer, and Midst: Ripples. Check out the slideshow gallery below to see the new cover art by artist Will Kirkby and excerpts from Address Unknown and The Valorous Farmer:
Here’s Dark Horse’s official description of Midst: Tales From the Cosmos:
Caught between the Un and the Fold sits the islet of Midst…
What do a crash landing on an uncharted islet, a struggling farmer in the Un, and a small Fold town plagued by peculiar changes have in common? They’re all part of the strange and expanding cosmos of Midst, the hit sci-fi/western podcast series from Third Person in conjunction with Critical Role. Explore the people, places, and bizarre phenomena that will immerse you in the unexpected and unique stories of an entirely new cosmos.
“These three standalone stories illuminate new aspects of the Midst cosmos: the historic origins of the titular islet itself, the everyday struggles of average working-class Trust citizens, and a transformative disruption to an isolated deep-Fold community,” said Third Person in a statement. “We’re so honored and impressed by the amazing talent of everyone who helped bring these stories to life, and we can’t wait to share them in the form of a handsome hardcover collection – with beautiful new cover art by Will Kirkby!”
Midst: Tales From the Cosmos is priced at $29.99 and will be released on August 12, 2025.
