Critical Role's The Traveler Gets Comic Book Series
Critical Role's comic book presence is growing with a new series published by Dark Horse that follows Archfey Artagan, The Traveler. Critical Role: The Tales of Exandria II - Artagan is created in consultation with the cast of Critical Role, written by Sam Maggs, illustrated by Aviv Or, colored by Cris Peter, and lettered by Ariana Maher.
"The powerful and mischievous Archfey Artagan, also known as the Traveler, finally gets his day in court--which is the LAST thing he wanted. But since he’s here, he’s happy to tell the Seelie and Unseelie Courts how he’s graced the various material and other realms with his knowledge and mentorship. But there are witnesses who may have a different take, and the consequences could be dire." (Dark Horse)
Critical Role: The Tales of Exandria II - Artagan #1 (of 4), featuring a cover by Toby Sharp, goes on sale on January 3, 2024.

So I’m knitting while Air was on in the background, and I hear Matthew Maher’s voice. Which makes sense, people are in different projects, until someone calls his character Peter, and I’m baffled to look up and see this guy:
Instead of this one:

I was born in the vacant / Wasteland of the faithful / You say prayers when you're scared / To be careless and found ungrateful / I was born a defender / Of a hell made for sinners / And never did ever forget / That it's still well equipped for quitters

If anyone remembers my name / If I'm ever known for anything / Let it be I ran into the night / Running with a firelight, firelight

Look! The LORD is coming from his dwelling place; he comes down and treads on the heights of the earth. The mountains melt beneath him and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.

"This is the retinue of death, which plays along with her, playing the violin. The image of death is impartial and friendly. It is illuminated by warm reflections from the burning flame of the fire, which symbolizes the energy of life. People dancing around the fire personify human action in earthly life. How to keep warm by the fire of life and not get burned? This question is asked by everyone who comes into this world."

Call him ‘Maher-shalal-hash-baz
1 The Lord also told me, “Take a large tablet and write on it with a stylus pen, ‘For Maher-shalal-hash-baz’. 2 Then I will call Uriah the priest and Jeberechiah’s son Zechariah as reliable witnesses to testify on my behalf.”
3 After this, I was intimate with the prophetess and she conceived. Later, she bore a son, and then the Lord told me, “Call him ‘Maher-shalal-hash-baz,’ 4 for before the young lad knows how to call out to his father or mother, the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.”
Invasion by Assyria
5 The Lord spoke to me again: 6 “Because this people have rejected the gently-flowing waters of Shiloah, and because they keep rejoicing in Rezin and Remaliah’s son, 7 watch out! The Lord God is about to bring the flood waters of the Euphrates River against them, mighty and strong.
“It’s the king of Assyria and all of his arrogance! He will rise over all of the river’s channels and run over all of its banks. 8 He will sweep on into Judah, overflowing as he passes through, like flood waters reaching up to a person’s neck. His outstretched wings will flow as wide as your land, O Immanuel!”
9
“Band together, you peoples,
but be shattered!
Listen, all you distant countries!
Strap on your armor,
but be shattered.
10
Take counsel together,
but it will all be for nothing;
go ahead and talk,
but it will all be for nothing,
for God is with us.”
Waiting on God
11 For this is what the Lord spoke to me, as his forceful hand was resting on me, and as he was warning me not to live the way this people were living:
12
“Don’t call conspiracy everything
that this people calls conspiracy,
and don’t fear what they fear,
or live in terror.
13
The Lord of the Heavenly Armies—
he’s the one you are to regard as holy.
Let him be the one whom you fear,
and let him be the one before whom you stand in terror!
14
Then he will be a sanctuary,
but for both houses of Israel
he’ll also be a stone with which someone strikes himself,
a rock one stumbles over,
a trap and a snare to those who live in Jerusalem.
15
Many will stumble on them;
They’ll fall and be broken;
They’ll be snared and captured.
16
“Bind up the testimony,
and seal up the teaching among my disciples.
17
I’ll wait for the Lord,
who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob,
and I’ll put my trust in him.
18
Watch out! I and the children
whom the Lord has given me
are a sign and a wonder in Israel
from the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
who resides on Mount Zion.”
Rejecting Occultic Wisdom
19
“So when they advise you,
‘Ask the mediums your questions,
and quiz the spiritists who chirp and mutter,’
shouldn’t a people instead be consulting their God—
and not the dead—
on behalf of those who are living
20
for instruction and for testimony?
Surely they are speaking like this
because the truth hasn’t dawned on them.
21
“They’ll pass through the land,
while[w] greatly distressed and hungry.
When they are hungry,
they’ll become enraged,
and they’ll curse their king and their god.
They’ll turn their faces upwards,
22
or they’ll look toward the earth,
but they’ll see only distress and darkness,
the gloom that comes from anguish,
and then they’ll be thrown into total darkness.”
