League of Legends Comics: Every Series and Where to Read
1 min read
Three Marvel limited series, a webtoon and a pile of free one-shots. What exists, who wrote it, and which one to open first.
League of Legends comics fall into two piles: the Marvel limited series you buy in print or digital, and the free ones Riot puts on its Universe site.
The Marvel series
Riot partnered with Marvel in 2018. Three full series came out of it:
- Ashe: Warmother — four issues, 2018–19, written by Odin Austin Shafer with art by Nina Vakueva. A Freljord origin story and the best entry point.
- Lux — five issues, 2019, by John O'Bryan. Demacia, illegal magic, and why Lux hides what she can do.
- Zed — six issues, 2019–20, Shafer again, on Ionia and the Order of Shadow.
All three were collected as trade paperbacks, so there is no need to hunt single issues.
The free ones
The League of Legends Universe site hosts comics you can read in a browser at no cost, including Ashe: Warmother and a run of champion one-shots from 2017–18 covering Darius, Nami, Ziggs, Jinx, Miss Fortune and Varus.
K/DA: Harmonies is a five-part webtoon from 2020, published by Riot rather than Marvel, and reads as vertical scroll rather than as pages.
Where to start
Ashe: Warmother, then Zed. Both stand alone and neither needs game knowledge.
