Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – The Feast of the Moon is a one-shot prequel comic to the film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, itself based on Dungeons & Dragons. Written by Jeremy Lambert and published by IDW, the comic was released in February 2023 ahead of the film's premiere in March of that year.
It is set a few years before the events of the film. The band of thieves — Edgin the bard, Holga the barbarian, Simon the sorcerer, and Forge the rogue, assisted by Edgin's daughter Kira — have just failed in their latest heist and end up in Womford, a town getting run dry by a figure called the Bandit King. An old colleague from Edgin's Harper days brings the team into the fold of heroism...almost.
The comic also has a side story, Xenk and the Helm of Disjunction, which explains how Xenk hid the title artifact in the Underdark prior to the events of the movie.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – The Feast of the Moon provides examples of:
- Adjective Animal Alehouse: The local tavern is named The Friendly Bat.
- Colon Cancer: The comic is a tie-in of an adaptation, so the title is Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – The Feast of the Moon.
- Cthulhumanoid: Xenk finds an illithid colony in the Underdark and true to form they are tentacle-faced humanoids.
- Dracolich: The town is being besieged by a giant undead dragon named Glyrgoth.
- Dragon Hoard: Glyrgoth is a dracolich who lives in a mine and hoards money from the townsfolk.
- Piggy Bank: Edgin is able to snatch a "porcelain boar" from the Dragon Hoard and leaves it with the tavern keeper and her daughter. They initially think it's worthless, but then the daughter drops it to reveal that it's got gold inside.
- Rollercoaster Mine: The heroes find themselves riding a mine cart down a number of twisty slopes in order to escape the dracolich's lair. They assume the tracks will go to the river, but they're actually unfinished and so they end up flying and landing in the river.
- True Sight: The robbery in the opening fails because the "victim" has truesight, allowing him to see Kira even while invisible.
- Visible Invisibility: When Kira's invisibility pendant is active, there is a hazy outline of her.
