UNBELIEVERS, SHIELD THINE EYES! In partnership with Massive Monster and Devolver Digital, Oni Press has announced Cult of the Lamb: Last Sacrament Special #1 – a stunning, 48-page special from writer Alex Paknadel and artist Troy Little continuing the best-selling, critically acclaimed expansion of the global video game phenomenon in comic shops on March 4th!
Following the events of Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse and October’s Cult of the Lamb: Last Sacrament Special #1, the cult is decimated and its faith shaken in the wake of a shocking and bloody betrayal. Power, duty, and determination will all be tested as Lamb must reckon with the remaining threats of the Old Faith. Meanwhile, Ratau—still firm in his faith in the Red Crown—tries to protect and guide Lamb’s remaining followers and undermine the blasphemy of the rival camp. As The One Who Waits prepares their return, great sacrifices must be weighed for the future of the Cult of the Lamb.
Arriving March 2026, the latest edition features covers from Troy Little and Rian Gonzales. This one-shot follows this year’s Cult of the Lamb: Schism Special #1 and the beloved Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse.
In the aftermath of their first and closest follower’s sacrifice, Lamb continues their bloody quest to defeat the Bishops of the Old Faith, but they lack the conviction to tend to their growing flock back at the cult. More potential followers are rescued by the day, but with no one to indoctrinate them, Lamb’s power stagnates and The One Who Waits becomes weary of his earthly vessel’s resistance to the full power and responsibility of the Red Crown. When famine strikes the cult, a challenger to Lamb’s mantle emerges, and a new struggle begins . . .
The latest edition features covers from the devoted Peach Momoko and Troy Little! This one-shot follows the sensational miniseries Cult of Lamb: The First Verse, which was beloved by fans and critics alike.

Comic publisher Oni Press and indie video game giant Devolver Digital have teamed to create the first ever comic books and graphic novels inspired by the deviously horrifying, heretic-smashing video game phenomenon Cult of the Lamb, developed by Massive Monster.
Beginning with an all-new graphic novel adapting and expanding Cult of the Lamb’s sprawling cosmology by writer Alex Paknadel and artist Troy Little, this ongoing publishing program has begun with the launch of the Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse as an Oni Premium Direct pre-order campaign on Kickstarter.
Featuring a treasure trove of exclusive and limited-edition items created in close coordination with Devolver Digital Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse includes deluxe versions of the Lamb’s landmark comic debut with an exclusive softcover edition, featuring cover art by Troy Little; an exclusive hardcover edition, featuring cover art by Juan Gedeon; four single issues featuring brand-new, never-before-seen interlocking cover art, also by Little, printed on high-quality cardstock and enhanced with UV spotgloss; or, at the campaign’s highest levels, one of four extremely limited Heretic Editions, featuring the complete series embellished with alternating suitably demonic foil and featuring brand-new, never-before-seen cover art by acclaimed Cult of the Lamb key artist and character designer Carles Dalmau.
Additionally, throughout the latest Oni Premium Direct pre-order campaign, Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse also includes limited-edition apparel and merchandise, including high-quality ringspun t-shirts and patches silkscreened by Holy Mountain Printing; blotter paper posters and giclée art prints; devotional candles and match sets; original sketches and art pages by interior artist Troy Little; and much, much more.
Since its debut in 2022, Cult of the Lamb has grown a millions-strong following with amusingly dark, satirically biting adventures that cast players into the role of Lamb – a supernaturally resurrected cult leader empowered by an impossibly ancient deity to recruit followers into the thrall of their doom-laden gospel. Most recently, in January 2024, Devolver Digital and Massive Monster released Cult of the Lamb: Sins of the Flesh – the game’s much anticipated DLC expansion, garnering millions of downloads in its first week of release.
In a land pervaded by cruelty and evil, the most innocent among us – young Lamb, the last of their kind – was selected to become a final dark sacrifice. Their death would forever seal the darkest of the Old Gods from our realm and usher in a new age ruled by the four eldritch Bishops of the Old Faith. So Lamb died… then forged 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 lies and distortions of the false prophets who rule the world above. And so, Lamb was bequeathed the power and responsibilities of the Red Crown and returned to the land of living with unholy powers to exact vengeance and deliver a new cult unto the Earth.
The Bishops of the Old Faith must fall. The disbelievers must be destroyed. And, as Lamb assembles their flock, a new master shall reign over creation. Praise be to the Cult of the Lamb!
Running through April 11 with new surprise items and stretch goals to be unlocked throughout, Oni Premium Direct’s Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse deluxe pre-order campaign is now live and features extensive “Day One” discounts for backers who place their pre-order within the first 24 hours. All items included in the campaign will be fulfilled directly to backers directly in December 2024.
With PAX East coming up in a few days and GDC only just having passed, there’s a lot of games that have been or will be announced, demoed, teased, and released. Here’s a few indie titles I’ve gotten to check out that will have booths at PAX East.
Witch It is a standalone prop hunt game by Barrel Roll Games similar to the PropHunt mode for Garry’s Mod. However, Witch It comes with a high dose of charming low poly graphics that refuses to take itself too seriously and go a long way to set the mood. Currently in Early Access and always being improved upon, you play as either speedy little transforming witches or oafish hunters using unconventional methods to track them down. With each round, the nine maps are randomly filled with objects the witches can transform into if they choose while the hunters use chickens, potatoes, pickles, and the impact of their own body weight after a fall to discern who’s what. If you’re a streamer who enjoys playing with your audience or you always seems to have too many people for most team games, this is definitely one to consider.
Available now for $14.99 on Steam Early Access for Windows. Find it at Booth #22055.
The core concept behind this amazing little rogue-lite pixel-based gem created by JW, Kitty, Jukio, and Dom and published by Devolver Digital is simple: you have sixty seconds to try to complete your quests. The charming characters and small mundane adventure keep you engaged but the short bursts of play don’t force you commit too much time to runs. The only thing that could make it more perfect would be if it were available on mobile devices or the Switch in addition to Steam, PlayStation 4, and XBox One. As it is, this is a great game to fill the queue gaps when playing things like League of Legends, Overwatch, and similar games.
Available now for $9.99 on Steam, PS4, and XBox One. Find it at Devolver Digital’s Booths #18090 and #18096.
This is a cute if sometimes frustrating sailing exploration game from Popcannibal that places the player as one of the sole survivors of a ship wreck that is trying to return a set of mystical chimes. While the story isn’t terribly deep or important to the gameplay, it does give some reference and framework to the game as a whole. It also models its physics and densities on their real world equivalents, giving anyone with practical sailing or boat design experience a leg up. Make Sail also includes some Twitch integration, which makes it another solid choice for variety streamers who want a quieter atmosphere. If you like the premise of Sea of Thieves but want a more relaxed and laidback approach and something more akin in visuals to Breath of the Wild, Make Sail is definitely worth considering throughout the rest of its development.
