Mad Cave’s Maverick imprint is reprinting the first volume of The Last Session: Roll For Initiative in a new graphic novel. Meanwhile, the creative team is returning for a brand-new volume called The Last Session: Re-Rolled.
Initially released in single issues, The Last Session by Jasmine Walls (Brooms), Dozerdraws (Lumberjanes) and Micah Myers follows Jay, Lana, Drew, Walter, and Shen and their adventures playing Dice & Deathtraps, a unique take on D&D. In the story, their party gets thrown into chaos with the addition of Jay’s partner, Cassandra.
Mad Cave is moving the series to its young adult imprint and releasing an all-new volume on October 7th, 2025. The trade paperback for volume one is out on June 3rd, 2025.
“It’s been such an amazing experience to see all the enthusiasm for The Last Session, and I’m delighted to continue the adventure in this new volume,” writer Jasmine Walls said. “We’ve got a new format and a whole new crew that I hope people will love as much as the first. To know that so many people read volume 1 and really connected with our cast of characters means a lot to me. At their core, tabletop roleplay games are collaborative storytelling–just like comics!–and I hope our books continue to inspire people to create something new together.”
“I’m so excited for The Last Session to join the Maverick lineup! This story was originally published before the Maverick imprint existed but has so many of the hallmarks of a Maverick story–and of YA in general. A group of friends playing a beloved game and overcoming a challenge that exists not only in their tabletop roleplaying game, but also in their real lives,” said Maverick Senior Editor Lauren Hitzhusen. “The Last Session has always been an “unofficial” member of the Maverick lineup, with its diverse cast of young adult characters, art by Maverick artist DozerDraws, and compelling interpersonal stories and I’m so glad to finally make it an official member of the lineup! This new edition comes with a special epilogue–brand new for the Maverick edition–and custom-made character sheets and notepaper so you can play tabletop roleplaying games with your friends!”
