Cult of the Lamb #1
Part of Cult of the Lamb
By Alex Paknadel
Illustrated by Troy Little
In partnership with Devolver Digital and Massive Monster, 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) comes a deviously delightful, heretic-smashing excursion into the sprawling cosmology of the worldwide, BAFTA–nominated video game phenomenon that IGN calls "adorably demonic"!
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.

“A fantastic adventure… I loved every bit of this book – it brought back the feel-good stories we used to find on the comic book racks at the gas stations. The artwork is superb across the board… It’s the start of something extraordinary in the world of comic books and pop culture.”—PASTRAMI NATION
“Comic goodness… Writer Melissa Flores had a big job here, tying all of these classic characters and franchises together into one big story, and she did an incredible job… She spent just enough time to give you a feel for all the different characters, and has in one shot, created this brand new, exciting world where all of these iconic characters co-exist in such a fantastic way! … Once you add the incredible art from the super talented crew of Rahmat Handoko, Rhoad Marcellius, Francis Portela, and Diogenes Neves, it made me feel like a kid again, reliving the Saturday Morning Cartoons of my youth!”—GEEK NETWORK
“With stunning artwork and just plain fun storytelling, readers are transported back to a time when these characters first captured our hearts… The revival of these classic animated characters is more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane—it’s a celebration of creativity and imagination that transcends generations.”—CAPES AND TIGHTS
