Vox Machina: Latin to English

As I watched Vox Machina's Mighty Nein Origins series, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease and discomfort. The campaign's warmth and humor were replaced with dark and disturbing scenes that left me feeling traumatized.

The first volume focuses on Caleb Widogast, played by Liam O'Brien, who attends the prestigious Soltryce Academy in preparation for an important future serving the Empire. However, Bren Aldric Ermendrud cannot foresee the cruelty he will endure and how it will break and remake him.

Meanwhile, the second volume delves into Jester's early years, her first meeting with the Traveler, and the fateful events that set her on a path to join the Mighty Nein. As the daughter of the Ruby of the Sea, she had many opportunities for mischief as a child, which she took full advantage of.

Jester Lavorre, played by Laura Bailey, has an unconventional upbringing even for one born in cosmopolitan Nicodranas. Her story is told through the graphic novel, written by Sam Maggs and featuring line art by Hunter Severn Bonyun, colors by Cathy Le, and co-directed by Laura Bailey and Matthew Mercer.

The Mighty Nein Origins series explores what each character was up to before joining the group that becomes the focus of Critical Role's current livestream series. Dubbed 'The Mighty Nein Origins,' the first volume will be released on June 16, 2021, while the second volume on July 14, 2021.

Overall, Vox Machina's Mighty Nein Origins is a dark and twisted exploration of the characters' pasts, which will leave fans feeling uneasy and disturbed. However, for those who enjoy Critical Role, this series provides an in-depth look at the characters that make up their favorite group.
