Vault Comics dropped us a note to let us know that the Barbaric franchise is expanding with a new one-shot that introduces a new sentient weapon and dives into Owen and Axes past.
Barbaric: Wrong Kind of Righteous is written by Nicholas Eames and Michael Moreci, with art by Nathan Gooden.
“I’ve loved Barbaric since Michael sent me an early look at the first issue. My books, he said, had been an inspiration while writing it, and when I read those pages, I felt right at home. The humor, the heart, the delightfully twisted tropes…It was so much fun” said Nicholas Eames in a press release from Vault COmics. “I’ve been a fan of comics my whole life and have always dreamed of writing my own, so when Michael—and Vault—offered me the opportunity to co-write something set in Barbaric’s world I jumped at the chance. It was, I think, the perfect way to try my hand at a medium I’ve always loved while learning from a writer (and editor) who I greatly admire.”
Barbaric: Wrong Kind of Righteous is a double-sized one-shot introducing Sir Borys the Righteous Paladin and his trusty, talking Flail, as he enlists the help of Owen, Axe, and Soren on his noble path. There will be virtuous bloodshed! There will be wailing protests! There will be two talking weapons! And there will be wyvern burgers served (for better or worse) with pickles!
