Webtoon is deepening its partnership with Dark Horse Comics by bringing five major franchises to its English-language platform. Newly reformatted for Webtoon’s signature vertical-scroll format, the lineup includes Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins, The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Plants vs. Zombies, and fresh stories from Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra.
Dark Horse Comics’ The Witcher follows Geralt of Rivia on new, mostly original adventures. The Legend of Korra (a Webtoon-exclusive vertical scroll) picks up where Avatar: The Last Airbender left off, following Avatar Korra and her friends on new adventures. Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins (also a vertical-scroll exclusive) brings the beloved tabletop RPG series to life, tracing the high-stakes exploits of a mismatched group of heroes.
Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077 dives into the neon-drenched streets of Night City with a collection of explosive new stories set in the universe of the acclaimed video game. And finally, Plants vs. Zombies (another vertical-scroll exclusive) returns with more showdowns between brain-hungry zombies and their unlikely plant foes.
“Webtoon has made it easy for a new generation of fans to fall in love with comics,” said Yongsoo Kim, CSO and head of Global Webtoon at Webtoon Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to work with Dark Horse to bring this new slate of world-class titles to Webtoon. Whether we’re helping new creators build their fandoms or working with marquee publishers like Dark Horse to bring beloved franchises to fans around the world, we’re committed to delivering the highest quality storytelling to our passionate community of readers.”
The new slate joins Webtoon and Dark Horse’s existing partnership to bring Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender comics to the platform, where it has accumulated over 13 million views. The platform is also home to several video game-related comics, like Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple and Dimension 20’s Fantasy High.
These titles are set to debut on the platform throughout the second half of 2025.
