About the Book
Big fantasy. Small package. Your favorite axe-wielding anti-hero is now available in a portable compact edition in Barbaric, (Compact Edition) Book 2. Perfect for your back-pocket when you head out on a side quest.
Netflix series in production, greenlit for a full first season!
Your favorite axe-wielding barbarian is now available in a portable compact edition that collects Volume 3: Hell to Pay, Volume 4: Born in Blood, the complete Queen of Swords: A Barbaric Tale spin-off, and The Wrong Kind of Righteous 1-shot all in one book!
When a foe from Owen's past returns, he embarks on a bloody mission to succeed where he once failed. But it all goes to hell. Literally! Owen is trapped in a fiery prison with several unsavories he put there... plus one old friend.
Welcome back to the skull-cracking, blood-splattering, mayhem-loving comic brave enough to ask: How can a man sworn to do good do so much violence? Hah! F***ing with you! There's no mystery. It's just... Barbaric.
Hailed as one of the best comics of 2021 by Entertainment Weekly, Thrillist, Screen Rant, and more, the acclaimed fantasy comic is back in a big way, though a smaller package.
From writer Michael Moreci (Dungeon Crawler Carl: Crocodile, Wasted Space, The Plot, and Revealer) and artist Nathan C. Gooden (Post Malone's BIG RIG, Brandon Sanderson's Dark One, The RUSH, Vampire: The Masquerade)!
