Cult of the Lamb, which has already become a fan-favorite comic book, is now coming back in a new way. Let’s dive into this chaotic, twisted universe once again!
Background of Cult of the Lamb
Everything started with a fun and addictive game, Cult of the Lamb, where a small lamb becomes the leader of a powerful cult. It has a primary goal of a bloody quest to defeat the Bishops of the Old Faith.
This game was not only a blend of horror and humor but also carried a deep message about faith, power, and sacrifice. Its comic series was launched with this concept, which people liked very much. Readers completely accepted its idea of graphic storytelling, black humor, and emotionality.
Now this journey continues the bloody quest along a much darker path, where death and devotion will meet. It’s not just a series; it’s an experience!
What is the Schism Special?
Now let’s talk about this new event—Schism Special. This will be a 48-page explosive comic that will expand the universe of Cult of the Lamb. It is set in the aftermath of their first uprising, where the tone of the story has become more grim and deep.
The Theme revolves around “Power stagnates and the One who waits becomes weary.” When the resistance starts getting full power and the burden of full power and responsibility falls on someone else, then a new struggle begins. This issue opens a new door for the fans into the darker side of devotion.
