Plot
NYT best-selling writer Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) and powerhouse artist Ramon Villalobos (X-MEN: E IS FOR EXTINCTION) combine their powers to deliver an ultra-violent, bloodthirsty barbarian epic for the ages. The first two issues of the acclaimed sword and sorcery saga are re-presented here in an all-new deluxe format.The War of the Ringed Throne is over. Evil, vanquished. The world, saved. But some people are never happy. Notorious across the lands for their merciless brutality, The Bloody Mourners know the war would have been lost without their savage skills. But with no land or gold to show for all their hard work killing, they set their sights on the The City of Clouds and their mythic treasure.Pacifists with no defenders of their own, the desperate city sends Espion, a young adventurer, to recruit the best warriors untold riches can buy. When a drunken skirmish leaves the realms best fighter, and Espions last hope dead, he will have to do the unthinkable and hire the killer instead. Now its up to the disgraced Kral the Subjugator to lead a ragtag group of misfit brawlers to try and keep the mourners at bay. A drunken barbarian, his jilted lover, a washed-up wizard and his back-talking familiar, a mummified assassin, a mutinous pirate, and a little girl. With champions like these, who needs enemies?
