About this ebook
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.

Actual Rating: 3.5☆ Cult of the Lamb Vol. 1: The First Verse is an adorable and fast-paced dark fantasy graphic novel. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I LOVE the illustrations. They are bright, colorful, and absolutely adorable. I noticed that Lamb undergoes several personal changes during this volume. Initially, Lamb is frightened, powerless, and submissive, allowing the bishops and their executioners to sacrifice them without a fight. Once they are resurrected, Lamb becomes consumed by vengeance. Although Lamb's priority should be to gain followers, they are solely focused on destroying the creatures who sacrificed them. Once Lamb experiences worship, they become addicted and do whatever is necessary to gain more followers. By the end, it is evident that Lamb's followers are becoming more like family, not only to Lamb but also to each other.

pretty good! I've always been a fan of the game, so it's nice to see it come out as a graphic novel. Just wish it was a tinsy bit bigger.
