comment
Vox Machina: Origins is a High Fantasy Prequel comic book series based on the first campaign of Critical Role starring the mercenaries known as Vox Machina. It chronicles how the various members of the team met as well as loosely adapts their pre-stream adventures before the beginning of the campaign proper. It is published by Dark Horse Comics and has released three volumes so far. Series I written by Matthew Colville and Series II and III by Jody Houser, along with Matthew Mercer; drawn by Olivia Samson. Volume One: Vox Machina investigates the poisoning of a port town and tries to determine who is profiting from a conspiracy against the Clasp. Volume Two: Grog is cursed by a dark force as a Lich attempts to reincarnate inside his body. They must assemble the various items necessary to cure him before he is possessed fully. Volume Three: Vax is frozen along with a town during a winter celebration. Vox Machina must hunt a white dragon to save their comrade.

Visual Pun: As Vox Machina is asleep in volume 2, a piece of paper/parchment can be seen pinned to the wall with two daggers and an arrow, evoking Vax's "Dagger dagger" catchphrase.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 Vox Machina Origins (Comic Book) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Scanlan has a tendency towards Breaking the Fourth Wall that never appeared in the show proper.note Or, at least, no more than any other character/player, since the fourth wall is always shaky in a game/show like this He's also much more callous, shown with how indifferent he was when seeing the death of a former party member.

Black Comedy: Drez Vina's illustration of how Vox Machina might be slaughtered by the Realmseer is drawn in the same cute cartoonish style as the rest of his demonstration, with the party as a pile of corpses with Xs over their eyes.

 Vox Machina Origins (Comic Book) / int_26eb6287
comment
Funny Background Event: Grog is a fountain of these. As the party is trying to figure out how to stealthily get onto the ship that Vax is being held in, and discuss it in the foreground, Grog gets noticed by some Mooks and fights them off. All hopes of stealth were gone instantly. In the foreground: Vex and Vax discussing how to get the nymph's heart. In the background: Grog being noticed by said nymph and then invited through a portal with her. In the background of an already funny event (Vex's Dope Slap to Scanlan), Grog falls out of the tree he had been hiding in. Keyleth cringes as she notices.

Vax'ildan, meanwhile, is much kinder and more empathetic than in the early episodes of the show, where he started with little concern for people outside the party before growing to be more moral.

 Vox Machina Origins (Comic Book) / int_8af7b342
comment
Sibling Yin-Yang: Vax and Vex. Vax is more trusting, generous, and accepting of help from others. Vex is cynical, much more anti-social, and hates getting small amounts of reward money for jobs. Vex was also initially willing to let Stilben be poisoned if it would mean she and Vax wouldn't be in danger while Vax, after finding out that The Myriad intend to wipe out all of Stilben's population, was willing to try and stop them on his own.
