Launching today, to fulfill all your necromantic, post-apocalyptic, ghost sword swingin', mutant-ridden dreams...it's Wrathborn! Created by Cullen Bunn, written by Scott Colby, illustrated by Ger Curti, and lettered by Shannon Potratz, a new page of this free web comic releases on Outland Entertainment's website every Tuesday.
The world is broken.
Following a horrific apocalypse, nature—or a chaotic semblance of it—has spread over the land once more. The ruins of society’s factories are overgrown with strange plant life, and twisted monsters crawl from the dark places. Mankind has tried to rebuild, and they live in enclaves scattered through the madness. Warlords, twisted physically and mentally, compete for land and power, and they do not care who they crush in their endless wars.
Magic is back. But it’s feared hated—especially necromancy.
Which doesn’t stop a young necro named Cleo and her companions from scouring the dark places for pages of the Armageddonomicon, the Book of Calamity and Chaos, which was ripped apart and scattered to the winds. With this book, they can cast the avatar of chaos back into the abyss and save the world.
Here’s the trick, though. Cleo doesn’t want to save the world.
She wants to conquer it.
"It is a privilege to get to write stories in this messed up, magical apocalypse Cullen's created," said Colby. "We're gonna do some really cool, really funky stuff with this!"
And this web comic is just the beginning. The world of Wrathborn will also be expanded upon in short fiction, novels, and roleplaying adventures.
