Cthulhu Death May Die Comic Book Plus Promos: What They Add

What the Comic Book Plus Promos pack actually contains

What is in the Cthulhu Death May Die comic promos pack?

The pack is a Kickstarter-exclusive bundle built around Comic Book Volume 1 for Cthulhu: Death May Die by CMON. Alongside the hardcover graphic novel, it includes six Investigator figures and dashboards and four cultist cards. It is not a standalone game.

Do I need the core game to use it?

Yes. The supplied information states that the Cthulhu: Death May Die core game, sold separately, is required to play. The comic can be read on its own, but the figures, dashboards and cultist cards are meant to slot into the board game.

Are the promo Investigator dashboards playable without the figures?

The pack pairs six Investigator figures with their dashboards, so the intended use is together. The supplied record does not describe using the dashboards without the matching figures, so treat the set as a matched package rather than a card-only add-on.

How the comic and promos change your games

What does the comic add to the board game experience?

The graphic novel is a hardcover, illustrated volume set in the game's world. The supplied material describes it as a way to experience Cthulhu: Death May Die in a new format, with stories written by comics authors and illustrators. It is reading material first; it does not replace the core game's rules.

What do the six Investigator figures and dashboards add?

They give you six more Investigator identities to bring to a run, each with a dashboard. The supplied previews show Lysa, Annabelle Laveau and Jack Muñoz, with skills such as Malacoda, Channeling and Truck Driver. The pack does not change the core scenario structure; it widens the Investigator roster.

What do the four cultist cards do?

The pack includes four cultist cards, but the supplied information does not describe their specific effects or how they are shuffled in. Treat them as promo content whose exact table impact you should confirm from the cards themselves rather than from this listing.

Can these Investigators be used in any episode?

The supplied material says the game's episodes are standalone and not contingent on being played in a certain order or with the same players. It does not list episode-specific restrictions for these Investigators, so the practical answer is that they are built for the same episode framework as the core Investigators.

Buying decisions and trade-offs

Who is this pack for?

It suits players who already own Cthulhu: Death May Die, enjoy the game's fiction, and want more Investigator variety plus a readable graphic novel. It is a poor first purchase for someone who does not yet own the core game, because the playable content cannot be used without it.

Is it worth it if I only want the comic?

The comic is the anchor of the bundle, but you are also paying for six figures, six dashboards and four cultist cards. If you have no interest in the board game pieces, you are buying a package where part of the value sits unused. If you own the core game, the extras give the comic a second life at the table.

What are the main trade-offs?

The obvious costs are price and shelf space: a hardcover plus six figures and dashboards is a larger footprint than a card-only promo. The benefit is a matched set of Investigator components and a readable volume. The supplied record does not give box dimensions or storage details, so plan space based on the component count rather than a listed size.

How does it compare with other Cthulhu Death May Die promo options?

This pack is the comic-led option: the graphic novel plus Investigator figures and dashboards. Other promo bundles on this site focus on different content, such as Investigator bundles or expansion material. If your goal is more Investigators, compare the roster each option adds; if your goal is reading material, this is the one built around a book.

Compatibility and catalog details

Which edition of Cthulhu: Death May Die does it match?

The pack is published for the Cthulhu: Death May Die board game by CMON and is listed as published in 2019. The supplied record does not describe edition-specific differences, so match it to the Cthulhu: Death May Die core game rather than to a different CMON title.

What do the ratings and player count tell me?

The supplied catalog lists 1 to 5 players, a Board Game Geek rating of 7.00 and an average player rating of 8.17. These describe the base game's reception and player range, not a separate rating for this promo pack.

Does the pack include other Kickstarter add-ons?

No, unless otherwise stated. The supplied note says paid add-ons from the Kickstarter campaign are not included. If you are trying to recreate a full pledge, this pack covers the comic and its promos, not the campaign's other paid extras.
