Publisher's summary
"Veth Brenatto doesn’t have an exciting life, but she likes it that way. Unlike her childhood, it’s safe. Predictable. And her husband and son love her as fiercely as she loves them. But Veth’s cozy existence is turned on its head when she and her family are captured by raiders. In order to save them, Veth will commit an atrocity that will sever her from all that she loves—maybe forever—and lead her to become Nott the Brave of the Mighty Nein."

Development
The comic was originally scheduled for publication by Dark Horse Comics on April 6, 2022. Due to the 2021 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.
