Dungeon Crawler Carl's Artist Returns In Capcom's New Onimusha Webtoon As Dungeon Crawler Carl continues its successful expansion into a multi-faceted franchise with TV, RPG, and Webtoon adaptations, its talented artist Laurel Pursuit has embarked on a new journey. She joins the ranks of celebrated Webtoon creators to breathe life into Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword prequel, showcasing the potential for further cross-media collaborations in the gaming world. As fans await the final installments of the novel and the grand conclusion to Carl and Princess Donut's epic dungeon adventure, Dungeon Crawler Carl has steadily expanded into quite an impressive multi-franchise. Dungeon Crawler Carl's Expanding ReachWith the upcoming TV show adaptation for Peacock as well as the upcoming release of a tabletop RPG, it's safe to say that Dungeon Crawler Carl is currently one of the hottest LitRPG series out there. At the same time, talking about current wins, the series has also been going strong and finding an all-new audience as a vertical-scrolling comic on Webtoon, which is currently sitting at an impressive 11 million views on the platform.Naturally, the success of this new adaptation has shone a spotlight on its creators, and it just so happens that one of the creators of Dungeon Crawler Carl's webtoon just returned with a new, very exciting series based on a massive franchise. While Aethon Webcomics recently returned with a new LitRPG webtoon adaptation in Shadow Slave, Laurel Pursuit, yet another one of the creators of Dungeon Crawler Carl's webtoon recently also made a little comeback on one of Webtoon's most exciting new releases.Along with the release of the new revival, Onimusha: Way of the Sword at the start of September, Capcom also unveiled an accompanying webtoon, which made its debut on September 5, 2026. This new webtoon series based on the game, which essentially serves as a prequel, brings together some of Webtoon's most beloved creators, including Jjolee, the creator of Cuffing Cupid, Baeksse, the artist of 66666 Years: Advent of the Dark Mage, hilluhri, the creator of To Tame A Fire, and, of course, Laurel Pursuit, who handles the gorgeous artwork for Dungeon Crawler Carl's webtoon.Laurel Pursuit's rendition of Dungeon Crawler Carl and its widely loved characters have been a hit among fans of the original novel as well as new readers coming across Matt Dinniman's story through the webtoon. And now, fans can be introduced to a whole new critically acclaimed franchise through Laurel Pursuit's art, among those of several other talented webtoon creators.Onimusha Webtoon Creators and ArtWith so many well-known creators and a story grounded in a franchise as acclaimed as Onimusha, the new Way of the Sword prequel webtoon is quite an exciting release, even if it may only be 8 episodes. The series changes art styles every two chapters or so as it passes the baton to each new artist. Every artist brings their own style and spin on Onimusha's characters and designs, keeping things refreshing for the short read that it is.Albeit targeted at a small, niche audience already familiar with the franchise, the Onimusha: Way of the Sword webtoon has also found success outside of this niche. Short as it may be, the series has already accumulated close to 365 thousand views on Webtoon and has evidently captured the attention of many unassuming webtoon readers completely unfamiliar with the franchise, while likely also inspiring many to check out the new revival.In this sense, it may have been a bit of a missed opportunity for Capcom not to turn this webtoon into a full-fledged spin-off comic of sorts, as flamboyant characters like Sasaki Ganryu are already proving to be popular among webtoon readers. Similar long-running spin-offs like Exhuma: Blind Faith have also been steadily building an audience on Webtoon as of late.Future Capcom and Webtoon CollaborationsHopefully, Onimusha is only the start of many more such collabs to come between Capcom and Webtoon, as franchises like Devil May Cry and Resident Evil are frankly ripe for webtoon spin-offs.
