  • Example Digital Comic PageDigital Comic Book Added to the $50 tier, and all tiers $75 and up. Torment: The Jack’s Gambit will be a 20-page digital comic that reveals some of the dark secrets of a companion’s past. What drives her to put herself in harm’s way? What turned her into the person she is today? What was the horror that tore her apart, and how did she rebuild herself? Get a glimpse of her past here… and maybe you’ll figure out how she fits into your long-term plans. (The image, drawn by David Pursley is a sample, and not a page from the actual comic.)
