Even though playing games is typically how Rick and Morty end up putting the multiverse in jeopardy, the dimension-hopping duo are about to embark upon the journey of their lives with the help of a tabletop classic. This August, IDW and Oni Press are partnering to publish a four-issue limited series from writers Patrick Rothfuss and Jim Zub, with illustrations from Troy Little, where Rick and Morty will get sucked into the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

A new era of Sonic comics begins in April, when IDW releases the first four issues of its Sonic the Hedgehog series. The skunk brothers above are Rough and Tumble, a pair of new villains who'll be causing a stink for Sonic and Knuckles in issue three.

A year back, we spotlighted the excellently spooky work of artist Brian Coldrick, creator of webcomic Behind You. Now his illustrations have been compiled into a book from IDW, titled Behind You: One-Shot Horror Stories. We have a peek at some of the gorgeously-rendered nightmares within.

At the end of Back to the Future Part III, Marty asks Doc if he and his newly revealed family will be going back to the future. "Nope, already been there," Doc answers, as his train lifts off the ground with a hover conversion he presumably got on that trip and flies away.

Let's be real: Comics are kind of a year-round thing. But spring is a time of new beginnings, which makes it the perfect time to pick up a new comic book. So it's a good thing that there are a ton of new comics on the way! Here's our picks of the wonderful new books you'll want to get to know in the coming months.

At Star Wars Celebration this year, IDW announced Star Wars Adventures, a new all-ages take on the galaxy far, far away, distinct from Marvel's Star Wars comic book offerings. That distinction is continuing with a new, stylised take on The Force Awakens, and we have a new look inside.

It's no surprise that a comic book based on the classic whodunnit board game Clue is outlandishly silly -- after all, just like the beloved movie, it's hard to take the fact you're an adaptation of a board game with any sense of seriousness. IDW's new Clue series rolls with that, and takes it a step further with several twists on top of its own twist.

Star Trek's Mirror Universe is one of the most enduring storylines across the whole franchise, and will always have a sinisterly-goatee'd place in our hearts. A new IDW comic plans to bring the Next Generation crew to the Mirror Universe -- but how? We spoke to the team behind Mirror Broken to learn more.

Today, May 6, is basically comic book fan Christmas -- because it's Free Comic Book Day, the annual celebration across comic stores the world over for revelling in the comics we love (and get free ones, too). As ever, there are a ton of comics on offer for FCBD this year, so here's our picks for the ones you should look out for.

While New Brunswick-based artist Gisele Lagace has worked on comics for Dynamite, IDW, Archie and Marvel, she's also a freelance illustrator. Like many freelancers, she saw Chicago's C2E2 as an opportunity to do some important self-promotion and potentially sign on to do some commission work.

The Jem and the Holograms comic is nearing the end of its 26 issue "Truly Outrageous" run, and Issue #24 shows it's not afraid to go where the original TV series was afraid to go. Jerrica's finally laying it all out on the table, for the one person who deserves the truth the most.

Later this week, Ghostbusters 101 is setting up a pan-universal crossover between the original Ghostbusters team and the crew from the 2016 movie -- but before that, we got to see what Patty, Holtzmann, Erin and Abby have been up to since the events of their film. Here's our exclusive preview of issue one.

Current events and social issues have always played a part in shaping Star Trek from its earliest days, whether it be the idealistic future of the Federation or using alien races as metaphors for society's dark side. In Deviations: Star Trek, it's humanity that's messed up after the tyrannical Romulans make first contact instead of the Vulcans.

There was a lot to like in Star Trek Beyond, but it's pretty clear that its best new addition to the Trek movie universe was Sofia Boutella's arse-kicking alien hero Jaylah. Her arrival in the Star Trek comics is good news -- as is the fact you can get a first look at her origin story right here.

The 28th annual GLAAD awards highlighting the representation of LGBTQ community in media have been announced this morning, and it's a strong year for genre nominations, especially in comics, with 10 series from the past year earning recognition. That's five more comics nominated than last year, a welcome indication that comics are improving in this regard.

After a few months away, Judge Dredd is back in action at IDW, but in his newest mission, it's been quite a while since we last saw him. And if you thought Dredd's usual life was messed up, then it's about to get downright apocalyptic (well, even more than it always is) in Judge Dredd: The Blessed Earth -- and we have the first details about the series.

Last year was a brilliant one for comics, but now that's all in the past. Let's look to the future! Thankfully, that future is already teeming with great new comics just waiting to be read. Here's the all the stuff we're looking forward to coming our way in the next few months.

IDW's new ongoing Star Trek comic might be set after the events of Star Trek Beyond, but for now, it seems like it isn't about the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Kirk and his crew have been separated, and have gone their separate ways -- and Kirk himself is in charge of an entirely different ship. Check it out in our exclusive preview!
