Description
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.
The Four Bishops of the Old Faith must fall. The disbelievers must be destroyed. And, as Lamb assembles their flock, a new master shall reign over all of creation. Praise be to the Cult of the Lamb!
From acclaimed writer Alex Paknadel (All Against All, Red Goblin) and Eisner Award–nominated artist Troy Little (Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas) comes a deviously delightful, heretic-smashing excursion into the borderlands of the worldwide video game hit that IGN calls "adorably demonic."

Cute and dark
This graphic novel is a result of a Kickstarter whose goal was reached within minutes! You could say its made for the loving fanbase but you can also enjoy this if you never played the videogame. The overall story contains all the same key elements / plot as the game but also introduces some more .. lets say personal level / drama. Overall its full of cute animals, rituals and a lot of gore / carnage - love it!
Good
*eARC received through netgalley, opinions are my own* Solid first volume. The art in this is gorgeous and very true to the graphics in the game. There isn't much new story here so if you played the game you know what happens but I think it would do a good job of telling the story to new audiences. I like how gameplay mechanics from the game were used as plot devices and I think a lot of the jokes only really hit when you know the game but because I do, I enjoyed them. Will definetly pick up the next volume!
Mitreißend und bewegend
Die Geschichte von den Anfängen des Lammkults wurde mit viel Liebe zum Detail in ein wunderschönes Comic verwandelt. Darin wird noch sehr viel mehr über das blutrünstige und dennoch liebenswert niedliche Lamm, seine Anhänger und das Leben des Kults auch bei Abwesenheit des Lamms erzählt, als man in ‚Cult of the Lamb‘ (auf allen gängigen Konsolen & PC) erfährt. Ich freue mich auf den zweiten Vers!
