Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins: Nott the Brave is the fifth issue of Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins written by Sam Maggs, with direction from Matthew Mercer and Sam Riegel, and art by William Kirkby. The cover was illustrated by Kirkby and Mildred Louis, who also served as colorist.

The comic will further explore the backstory of Sam's player character, Veth Brenatto.

Development
The comic was originally scheduled for publication by Dark Horse Comics on April 5, 2022. Due to the 2021–2022 global supply chain crisis and unidentified circumstances with creative teams, all Critical Role titles were delayed, and The Mighty Nein Origins: Nott the Brave instead will release digitally and at major retailers on August 23, 2022 and in comic shops on August 24, 2022.

It was originally announced as the fourth installment in the series, but the postponement has Nott the Brave releasing after the announced fifth installment before The Mighty Nein Origins: Fjord Stone.
