The Missing is a fun mini-prologue to the upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard. It's not really essential reading before the game as not much happens in terms of the plot, it's just an enjoyable set-up adventure starring Varric and Harding. It's worth picking up if you enjoyed Tevinter Nights and want a bit more DA content while waiting for the game's release.

Each issue features characters that made their first appearance in Tevinter Nights and will likely play a significant role in the upcoming game as faction contacts (Evka and Antoine, Teia and Viago, Strife and Irelin) or companions (Neve). They were all some of my favorite characters in Tevinter Nights so I was thrilled to see them again. Between their appearances and nods to Inquisition, it felt a bit fan-service-y but in a good way as I absolutely was the fan being serviced. Also, as a High Republic fan I enjoyed reading Dragon Age content by George Mann and felt like he captured these characters perfectly.
