Do I need to read the Dungeon Crawler Carl novels before Crocodile?

No. Crocodile is a side story rather than a direct continuation of Carl's journey, and its creators describe it as suitable for both longtime fans and new readers. It follows a different protagonist, Florin DuPont.

Is Crocodile the same as the Dungeon Crawler Carl graphic novel volumes from Vault Comics?

No. Crocodile is an original story written by Michael Moreci and illustrated by Brett Bean, funded through a BackerKit campaign. The numbered Dungeon Crawler Carl graphic novel volumes are a separate adaptation of the WEBTOON series by Tevagah and Laurel Pursuit Studios.

Synopsis

Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile is an original graphic novel side story set in Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl universe, written by Michael Moreci and illustrated by Brett Bean under Dinniman's supervision. It follows Florin "The Crocodile" DuPont, a loner mercenary who struggles with his own humanity as he competes in the alien game show Dungeon Crawler World, fighting to stay alive among the other survivors of Earth's apocalypse while an interstellar audience watches.

Published by Vault Comics after a record-setting BackerKit campaign, it is a side story rather than a continuation of Carl's own journey, and is meant to work for both longtime fans and new readers.
