Been a while since you last stepped into the realm of Thedas? You’re not alone. One way to gear up for the launch of Dragon Age: The Veilguard on Oct. 31 is to grab this bundle of comics over at Humble. It’s offering an $18 bundle of 18 volumes based on the worlds of Dragon Age — oh, and Mass Effect, too. Each of these beautifully illustrated volumes offer impressive insights into the settings and flesh out character backstories.
I’d consider all of these volumes essential reading for fans of either franchise, but for those who are about to jump into The Veilguard, Dragon Age: The Missing should be your first stop if you’re looking for a better idea of how the realms of Thedas has changed. It takes place shortly before the events of the upcoming game, filling you in on the current world state and factions of Dragon Age. Plus, it features appearances from companions Lace Harding and Neve Gallus.
In addition to The Missing, this bundle includes the following volumes published by Dark Horse Books.
- Dragon Age Volume 1: The Silent Grove
- Dragon Age Volume 2: Those Who Speak
- Dragon Age Volume 3: Until We Sleep
- Dragon Age: Mage Killer
- Dragon Age: Dark Fortress
- Dragon Age: Knight Errant
- Dragon Age: Deception
- Dragon Age: Blue Wraith
- Mass Effect: Foundation (Volumes 1,2, and 3)
- Mass Effect Volume 1: Redemption
- Mass Effect Volume 2: Evolution
- Mass Effect Volume 3: Invasion
- Mass Effect Volume 4: Homeworlds
- Mass Effect: Discovery
Humble always sends a portion of each bundle sale to benefit a nonprofit — in this case, your purchase will support the Child’s Play Charity, a foundation that works to improve the lives of pediatric hospital patients through therapeutic gaming. Just remember you can always use the “Adjust Donation” drop-down menu to fine-tune how much goes to the publisher, the charity, or Humble.
