Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse is illustrated by Eisner Award–nominated artist Troy Little, colored by Nick Filardi, and written by Alex Paknadel. The cover art, which matches the first issue of the comics, was created by Carles Dalmau.

Just like the game, the comic books have a delightfully macabre sense of humor and terrific art to match a story that touches upon several ideas seen in the source material.

Here’s the official description from Oni Press:

“In a land pervaded by cruelty and evil, the most innocent among us–young Lamb–was selected to become a noble sacrifice. Their death would be the magical rite that would forever seal the darkest of the Old Gods out of our realm and usher in a new age of bounty. So Lamb died, but then they made 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 falsehoods and distortions of the false prophets who rule the world and the Old Faith. And so, Lamb was given a choice: Enter oblivion as intended, or return to the land of living with unholy powers and deliver a new cult unto the Earth.”

If you’re not in the mood to wait, you can buy the comics individually on Kindle right now. The first three issues are available now with list prices of $5 each. Amazon has a limited-time deal on the first issue that drops the price to $3.74, so you could check it out before preordering the collected graphic novel.

The fourth and final issue in the story will be out on September 25. Just like the game, the comic books have a delightfully macabre sense of humor and terrific art to match a story that touches upon several ideas seen in the source material.
