Hot on the heels of the tremendous success of Barbaric, Vault has announced that the hit series will return in 2022 and beyond. Not only will Owen, Axe, and Soren return in multiple new miniseries by co-creators Mike Moreci and Nathan Gooden, but also in a set of different Barbaric one-shots written and drawn by a murderers row of the industry’s greatest creators.

Barbaric #1 is Vault’s highest-selling issue to date, having garnered an immense amount of praise from critics and peers. The first issue sold out at the distributor immediately upon release, and went through multiple subsequent printings.

Barbaric is co-created and written by Mike Moreci, co-created and drawn by Nathan Gooden, colored by Addison Duke, lettered by Jim Campbell, and designed by Tim Daniel. Issues #1 and #2 are on sale now, and issue #3 will hit store shelves on August 25th, 2021. A hardcover edition that collects the entire 2021 series will be released in December, 2021.

Owen the Barbarian has been cursed to do good with what remains of his life. His bloodthirsty weapon, Axe, has become his moral compass with a drinking problem. Together they wander the realm, foredoomed to help any who seek assistance. But there is one thing Owen hates more than a life with rules: Witches.

Welcome to the skull-cracking, blood-splattering, mayhem-loving comic brave enough to ask: How can a man sworn to do good do so much violence? Hah! F***ing with you. It’s just…BARBARIC.
