 Have em, they are not bad... quite entertaining for us AD&Ders.. they also have some stats of new monsters etc in them... I would suggest if you are into any particualar system (FR, SJ..) that they are a good buy as they can give some good info...  Brette:)

The comics are very cheap so you might to try and bid on a few. There are a few auctions  on ebay right now that can give you a near complete set. Inexpensive and if you get them, please post what you think about them.

DC also put out  a series of 3 comics for the Avatar trilogy and  Lord of the Ultra-Realm, #1-6 plus a special edition (not sure if this is D&D or just same style).

There are also other D&D comics that are somewhat newer than the DC ones mentioned above.  Kenzerco put out

In the Shadow of Dragons #1-8
Tempest's Gate #1-4
Black & White #1-6
Where Shadows Fall

DDP comics put out 5 issues of The Legend of Huma last summer.  Issue 1 has a variant cover.

TSR also put out some other comics which I can't quite remember the titles of (I will have to check my comic boxes to see if I can find them).  But there is a Grand Tour of the Realms, a Birthright comic, a Labyrinth comic, a Vecna graphic novel.

TSR also had comics for different lines of their products that included some games with them too.  There was a Buck Rogers series, Warhawks, Agent 13 and Intruder (each about 8-10 issues per series).

Should also not forget about the 5 Dragonlance Graphic novels that make up the Chronicles series.

The Grand Tour of the Realms comic is a must read if only for the fact that the adventuring party featured on the tour are the now grown-up characters of the old Dungeons & Dragons cartoon.  Pretty funny in joke if you are in the know.

The Vecna graphic novel was good but stopped halfway through the story with promises of having another comic.  So far 2 years later no dice.
