Dungeon Crawler Carl Vol. 2 Lands Early for Local Comic Shop Day 2026

Fans eager for more Dungeon Crawler Carl have a reason to mark their calendars early – really early. The second graphic novel volume, adapting the wildly popular LitRPG series, will launch ten days ahead of its wide release. But here's the catch: you'll need to hit your local comic shop on September 26, 2026, to snag this exclusive Local Comic Shop Day edition. The general release follows on October 6, 2026.

This isn't just another release; it's a smart play by Vault Comics to celebrate independent retailers through Local Comic Shop Day (LCSD). ComicsPRO, the group behind LCSD, organizes this annual event to reward fans and highlight the crucial role local stores play in connecting creators and communities. The early drop for Dungeon Crawler Carl Graphic Novel Volume 2 perfectly aligns with that mission.

Dungeon Crawler Carl, created by Matt Dinniman, exploded onto the scene as a LitRPG phenomenon, famous for its dark humor and brutal, televised alien dungeon crawl. The graphic novels, published by Vault, bring the story's chaos and charm to a new visual medium. This second volume collects episodes 14-30 of the Webtoon adaptation.

Expect Carl and his feline companion, Princess Donut, to face down everything from hordes of goblins to a sadistic AI and a meddling alien talk show host. Laurel Pursuit's vibrant art, created with Matt Dinniman's consultation, promises to bring the apocalypse's absurdity to life. Volume 1 of the graphic novel has already proven a massive hit, currently ranking as a bestseller. Fans know what to expect: a wild, hilarious, and utterly addictive journey into the Dungeon.
