A future issue should have the Caretaker adaptation.

Anybody got this one? I juste realised I never got issues 7 and 8 of this serie, so I might have missed it.

Joël
Caretaker was in #6. There are two covers, the more expensive one has Strahd on it. I didn't spring for the Soth cover, but I can't resist Strahd, so I'm ordering it through my local comic shop.
No! Do not order #6! I have issue 1 to 6 and 6 doesn't contain the Caretaker. Issue 6 has a DL and a DS story.

So it must be 7 or 8.

EDIT: checked DevilsDue web site, and issues 7 and 8 are not out yet. Don't know why as it takes ages to get out. No concellation issued either.

By the way, issues 1 to 6 can still be ordered there, including the #3:

You can choose the other cover if you wish (Soth cover), but this one is 9.50$ instread of 5.50$.

Hey Joel. I tried checking the website, but I do not see issue 6. Only 1-5. Just to be sure, only issue 3 has a Ravenloft story about Soth "The Rigors of the Game" right?

The others are
#1 and #2 Drizzt and Raistlin stories

#4
Elminister and Tasslehoff stories

#5
Tasslehoff and an Eberron story.


Not sure what is in #6 since I cannot find it on the website.
Only two things scare me and one is former back-up dancers for Christina Aguilera.

Hmm... that's weird... why's Strahd on the cover? Maybe the story got bumped? It was supposedly "set in stone" according to Lowder:

The current order status of these goes up to issue 7. Jim, in these, other issues planned with RL?
Issue #6 has an adaptation of "Caretaker," with a script by PN Elrod, who wrote the original tale. The cover, by Francis Tsai, can be seen here:

I believe the Strahd cover is the A (less expensive) cover for issue #6.

We have some Ravenloft stories short listed for future issues, but the Elrod adaptation in #6 is the only other one set in stone right now.

Cheers,
Jim

Well, it's too late, I ordered it. Oh well, at least I sprung for the Strahd cover, so it's slightly RL-related.

Well the answer is... because Strahd ISN'T on the cover. The cover must've gotten bumped too. #6 has DL & DS, as Joel said. And despite ebay postings to the contrary, the more expensive cover for #6 is actually this DS one. Bought it anyway, since I felt bad about special ordering it and then dumping it on one of my favorite shops.

But while I was there, I saw they had one issue left of #7! The good news: the series hasn't been cancelled. The bad news: no RL story in #7 either. It's FR and DL. So here's hoping for Caretaker and the Strahd cover in #8.

Just finished, Mithras Court. Great Book, this is truly a Ravenloft book!!! Many of the Ravenloft ideas and concepts that we fans love are in this book. I recommend this book to any Ravenloft fan. :D Mithras Court and Heaven's Bones need to be put in the Book section.

It's on the "to-do" list. Send us a review and it might happen faster. ;)

Sadly, indeed :)

We'll do another of these when the starts are aligned right.
