Top 5 Darkest Dungeon Character Comics

The Abomination character comic is simple, straight to-the-point, and tells a humiliating story. With the help of the artistic decision to keep the panels nearly devoid of color, the comic highlights sadness and despair. It feels somewhat alluring, considering the panels that are very simple, yet esthetically pleasing. It’s almost like watching an old-school monster movie, if that monster movie was a single comic page! With that being said, Abomination has a distrubing, yet poetic character comic. It’s quite memorable. Thus, it’s one of the best Darkest Dungeon character comics.

The Bounty Hunter character comic depicts poetic justice, doesn’t it? Put a price on someone’s head, and it’s only a matter of time before it gets cut off. Whether for good or for bad, the Bounty Hunter is portrayed as a cold-blooded killer, willing to put on a bloody good show for the right price. But, is he actually heartless? Although these comics can be interpreted in various ways, I simply enjoy this particular portrayal. But, the reason it lands a top spot is because of the warm colors, the angles and the lighting. Simply put, it comes across as really badass and action-packed at the same time!

The story of the Crusader reminds me of Guts from Berserk. Perhaps it’s just me? However, it’s the stoic nature, his bloody victories on the battlefield, and the fact that he wields a greatsword. The Crusader is a man of war, a man of the people, and someone truly great! But, the comparisons aside, this character comic is beautiful in other ways. Everything from the color to the shading, the detail to the motion, make it captivating. It’s so vibrant, but gloomy, and so powerful, yet sad. Thus, the panels tell a lengthy tale in a few seconds, and somehow, it doesn’t feel rushed? How can an illustrator put so much into their pen, and convey such energy, I will never understand!

This story hits hard, doesn’t it? While the Highwayman isn’t necessarily a “good guy”, it’s these types of things that change people for the better. It’s the definition of irony, right? Doing something until you realize it’s been wrong all along? Where do we draw the line is subjective, as the only difference between “good” and “bad” is simply a decision. With that being said, it’s a beautifully twisted character comic, and I love the emphasis on the blood, as it’s the only real “color” in this panel. It’s so disturbing and gritty, that it makes me want to brush my teeth and take a shower. In other words, it’s obviously one of the best Darkest Dungeon character comics!

Darkest Dungeon is known for artistic storytelling, with the Arbalest comic being the cream of the crop! It’s the type of comic that’ll break your heart, and make you look at the character in new light. It’s so sad seeing little Arby so vulnerable, isn’t it? Seeing her stripped from her innocence is heartbreaking. Forced to grow up, with a crossbow tucked in her arms and tears running down her face. However, it’s not just the heart-wrenching story, it’s just as much about the illustrations in each panel. The way it’s drawn makes the story so effective, with subtlety as the key ingredient!

While it’s a toss-up between Highwayman and Arbalest, I think that Arby’s 1-panel comic is the best Darkest Dungeon comic! It tells a deep story, with every single images loaded with tons of importance. So, it’s the best in my book!
