The conclusion of the critically acclaimed comic adaptation of Robin Hobb’s beloved fantasy saga
MILWAUKIE, Ore., (August 19, 2024)— Dark Horse Comics presents the third and final chapter of the comics adaptation of Robin Hobb’s beloved fantasy novel, Assassin’s Apprentice, in Assassin’s Apprentice III. This next six-issue comics arc follows Fitz as he takes his final steps towards becoming an assassin and is faced with a decision that will define his destiny. Assassin’s Apprentice III #1 arrives this December and is written by Robin Hobb (Farseer trilogy) and Jody Houser (Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins), art by Ryan Kelly (Stranger Things: Into the Fire), colors by Jordie Bellaire (Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher: The Lesser Evil), and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (Arkham Horror: The Terror at The End of Time), with cover art by Anna Steinbauer (Assassin’s Apprentice I and II).
Having barely escaped Skill training with his life, Fitz is convinced he will fail Galen’s final test. The students will be separated and must use their connection through The Skill to find their way back to the keep. But when tragedy strikes in Buckkeep, Fitz must decide between completing Galen’s test or following his instinct to rush to the aid of those most dear to him.
“I’ve very much enjoyed my time in the Realm of the Elderlings, and look forward to everyone seeing how this chapter of Fitz’s story ends,” says writer Jody Houser.
Assassin’s Apprentice III #1 (of 6) will arrive in comic shops on December 11, 2024, and is available for pre-order at your local comic shop for $3.99.
