Gears of War: The Rise of RAAM
Kurtis J. Wiebe (w) • Max Dunbar (a)
Before he was a general leading the assault against humanity on the surface, RAAM was an upstart commander tasked with waging an unwinnable war against the Lambent to protect the Locust homeland.
With the enemy pushing inexorably forward, RAAM knows the Horde must turn its attention to more vulnerable prey, and he’ll use every atrocity and deception at his disposal to bring Queen Myrrah around to his way of thinking.
See how it all began in this prequel to the original Gears of War, as the Queen’s deadliest servant steers the course of history to bring about Emergence Day and the attack on humans, setting in motion the events of the game!

Shadowline/Image Comics has announced that the wonderfully skilled artist Tess Fowler—who received critical acclaim for her work on Rat Queens: Braga Special #1—will be taking over as series artist with issue #11. Joining her will be Tamra Bonvillain the title’s first colorist! Readers may recognize Bonvillain’s name from her coloring work on Pisces, which is also written by Wiebe.
