    Default Fantasy Comics?

    I am a huge fan of Dnd and movies like Lord of the Rings. I wanted to ask if there are any fantasy comics out there that are worth reading? Thanks in advance for all your help.

    Dynamite produces a generally well-regarded Red Sonja comic (or, rather, a range of titles, as there is one main series and usually a variety of minis and one-shots at any one time). Dark Horse held the rights to Conan until 2016 and produced a number of very well-regarded books, all of which have been collected in trade paperback. Marvel currently has the Conan rights is (I believe) currently producing a Conan book (I haven't read it so no idea of the quality).

    Rat Queens is a book from Image about for foul-mouthed adventurers in a fantasy world that has received a lot of critical acclaim.

    Personally I would strongly recommend tracking down the collected edition of Tellos for a fun, light hearted fantasy romp that might end breaking your heart.

    DIE from Kieron Gillen, Stephanie Hans, and Clayton Cowles is a fantastic read. It's only five issues in, but imagine the 1980s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon mixed with Jumanji, and It. There's also a promotional free tabletop RPG system created as a tie-in if you're into that.

    I'll also echo Rat Queens, at least for the first series as well as the officially licensed DnD/Pathfinder comics from IDW/Darkhorse. They're surprisingly fun, and consistent.
    Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

    Buscema's Conan in Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword are the best I've read.
    The Adventurers from Aircel/Adventure/Malibu were a fun read.
    CrossGen's Meridian, Mystic, Scion and Sojourn

    I’ve loved Birthright by Joshua Williamson and Andrei Bressan.

    There's Lookouts from the creators of the Penny Arcade web-comic. It's about a Boy Scout type of group
    in a Fantasy World.

    I'd also recommend Tellos and Rat Queens as well.
