Rebellion Publishing announced its plans to release Big-Ass Sword by writer/artist Andreas Butzbach, which explores a futuristic wasteland through the eyes of an unamed robot, a talking skull, and the big-ass sword he carries on his back.
In a world far from our own reality, a robot warrior wanders through a vast and hostile techno landscape, filled with strange lifeforms and mechanical beings left over from a long, forgotten war. At the robot’s side is a talking Skull. On his back? A BIG-ASS SWORD!
Told in a classic European sci-fi style, but distinctly its own instinctive and unpredictable creation, BIG-ASS SWORD is a thought-provoking futuristic mystery! Releasing on the 4th November, this original graphic novel will be published as a 96-page hardback from Rebellion Publishing, as they continue to push the limits of hard sci-fi and fantasy.
“I’ve seen a lot of zombie movies so I knew I would be in for a rather long time,” said Butzbach. “And I wanted to make good use of the time in isolation. I grabbed a pencil and an empty sketchbook and started to draw full comic pages right into it. The plan was, to just fill the book with comic pages. No scanning or adjusting, just like back in the old days when I was a kid: ideas straight onto the paper”.
Big-Ass Sword arrives on November 4, 2025.
