Oni Press, multiple Eisner Award and Harvey Award-winning publisher of comic books and graphic novels and indie video game vendor Devolver Digital create the first ever comic books and graphic novels inspired by the video game CULT OF THE LAMB, developed by Massive Monster.
Beginning with an all-new graphic novel adapting and expanding CULT OF THE LAMB’s sprawling cosmology by acclaimed writer Alex Paknadel (All Against All, Red Goblin) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Troy Little (Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas), this ongoing publishing program begins with the launch of the CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE.
CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE tells the tale:
In a land pervaded by cruelty and evil, the most innocent among us – young Lamb, the last of their kind – was selected to become a final dark sacrifice. Their death would forever seal the darkest of the Old Gods from our realm and usher in a new age ruled by the four eldritch Bishops of the Old Faith. So Lamb died… then forged a deal of their own.
At the crossroads of eternity, Lamb was met by the imprisoned deity known as The One Who Waits, who revealed the lies and distortions of the false prophets who rule the world above. And so, Lamb was bequeathed the power and responsibilities of the Red Crown and returned to the land of living with unholy powers to exact vengeance and deliver a new cult unto the Earth.
The Bishops of the Old Faith must fall. The disbelievers must be destroyed. And, as Lamb assembles their flock, a new master shall reign over creation. Praise be to the Cult of the Lamb.
