After that, a previously teased series from Peter Milligan and Amalas Rosa will launch with a Pluto homage cover, honoring the groundbreaking work of Naoki Urasawa.    

Each new Vault first issue in 2024 will release with a Sanji Manga homage variant which can be pre-ordered and purchased at local comic book stores everywhere. More Sanji manga homage variants will be announced in the coming months.

Vault Comics announces a special Double Sized Barbaric

Posted on by

Vault Comics first teased art and details on a full year of its popular Barbaric franchise late last year. Dubbed the Year of the Axe, the publisher announced the first-ever spinoff series Queen of Swords, which recently broke comic shop sales records ahead of release. In addition, new arcs were announced, and a collaboration with best-selling, Gemmell Award-winning Fantasy author Nicholas Eames was teased. 

Today, Vault can reveal full details around Barbaric: Wrong Kind of Righteous, which unites the original Barbaric co-creators with Eames for a special story from the past which introduces an all-new sentient weapon, and dives into Owen and Axes past!

Barbaric: Wrong Kind of Righteous is a double-sized one-shot introducing Sir Borys the Righteous Paladin and his trusty, talking Flail, as he enlists the help of Owen, Axe, and Soren on his noble path. There will be virtuous bloodshed! There will be wailing protests! There will be two talking weapons! And there will be wyvern burgers served (for better or worse) with pickles!”

Barbaric: Wrong Kind of Righteous will be solicited in the June-dated catalogs for release this August, a full month ahead of the previously announced date to keep Barbaric readers satiated after the release of Queen of Swords!  Reserve your copy today with your favorite retailer, with two covers available from series artist Nathan Gooden and a variant to be revealed soon!
