Vault Announces Barbaric: The Long Death From Michael Moreci and Nathan Gooden

Posted on by

Vault has announced the return of the beloved and best-selling comic book series, Barbaric, for its fifth story arc entitled, Barbaric: The Long Death. Co-created by Michael Moreci and artist Nathan Gooden, Barbaric: The Long Death, marks Gooden’s return to the series after his tremendously successful work on the smash hit series with Post Malone, Big Rig. Joining Moreci and Gooden are long-time Barbaric collaborators Fabi Marques on colors, Jim Campbell on letters, and Tim Daniel on design. 

BARBARIC loves you! AXE LOVES YOU! And he’s giving you his heart, in the form of The Long Death #1. Our heroes slaughter their way ever closer to the answers to their big questions. Owen learns all about his curse; Soren learns about her curse; Axe gets drunk. The consequences are…BARBARIC.

Barbaric follows Owen, a bloodthirsty barbarian and his drunk axe as they roam an untamed, mythic realm battling supernatural cultists, hungry giants, creatures of the night, and more in their quest to somehow, amidst all this chaos, do some good.

Barbaric: The Long Death #1 hits store shelves in December 2025, and will feature an stellar line of variants from artists Pete Carroll, Jim Mahfood, Luana Vecchio, Corin Howell, and Brett Bean.

Featuring a fistful of beloved characters (and some new friends, enemies, and exceptionally concerning weapons), fans will see the opening of the World Dungeon like never before–from a new fan-favorite character’s perspective.

But starting now, fans can sign up on the Backerkit campaign’s landing page to access hints about the new storyline, enjoy sneak-previews of concept art from the series, secure their invite to a special online launch party, and be the first to hear about upcoming campaign rewards, fan box voting, and extremely special “NEW ACHIEVEMENT!” stretch goals. The full campaign will launch on Backerkit on October 1st, 2025.

This fast-paced graphic novel will follow a yet-unannounced fan-favorite character from the main series who struggles with their humanity as they compete on the alien game show Dungeon Crawler World. Fans can expect the remaining survivors of the global apocalypse–familiar faces as well as some brand new ones–fight bizarre monsters and face ridiculous, deadly challenges for the entertainment of an interstellar audience.

Dungeon Crawler Carl looks to be the hot new property with a recent tabletop roleplaying game announced by Renegade Game Studios. It’s a New York Times-bestselling and #1 Audible LitRPG novel series with over 1 million copies sold.

Dungeon Crawler Carl follows Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. In 2025 it was announced that Universal International Studios and Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door are developing Dungeon Crawler Carl as a TV series adapted by Chris Yost.
