I’m so glad to be back in the world of Barbaric. All these volumes run into each other building up an epic story that doesn’t skimp on the characters at the heart of it. There’s some interesting developments of older plot threads and to have such strong continuity is a bonus as the world feels so fleshed out. I am excited to see what happens next in this arc.
The stakes are now higher than they have ever been and there’s now something of a running villain with Gladius. There are a lot more questions raised even as we get answers about the past. It’s just developing so well and in a way that has me hooked completely. I am impatient for more. Owen is in real trouble. Axe has a new status quo. Soren too and Steel has much to come to terms with. It’s also very clearly not over yet. I can’t wait to see what the hell is in store next.
“With humour, solid character work, adventure and more than a little bit of gore Barbaric is back and doing what it does best.”
“If you like your fantasy with a side of bloodthirstiness and humour then Barbaric is definitely the book for you.”
“Everything I really look for in a comic. Plus some really fun gore.”
“Overall this is an issue that’s just as good as the first and I loved the first issue.”
Now that June is behind us we’re rounding up four indie comics from the month just gone!
