PRAISE FOR BARBARIC:
‘One of the “10 Best Comics of 2021…” Barbaric took only three issues to establish itself as a first-rate comic.’ - Entertainment Weekly
‘One of the “Best Comics of 2021…” It's a funny, gory, weird comic with stunning art in muted colors.’ – Thrillist
‘One of the “Best Comic Books and Graphic Novels of 2021…” the “excellent…violent, expletive-filled fantasy epic Barbaric never holds back… It’s bloody spectacular.”’ - Screen Rant
"... fantastic!" - Alex Segura (Award-winning and bestselling author of Secret Identity)
“QUEEN OF SWORDS expands the already-epic world of BARBARIC in the best of ways, pushing the Robert E. Howard-ness full throttle and giving a female ensemble cast the best attributes of your favorite, most lived-in Dungeons & Dragons tabletop characters who also thrive with an emotional richness and complexity found only in the most vanguard echelons of fantasy. This book has grit, brute force, subversive themes and irreverent fun, nimbly trading off the hack-and-slash of a claymore when it comes to the action with the searing bite of a cutlass when dealing with deeper drama.”
— Christopher Cantwell (writer/co-creator: The Blue Flame (Vault Comics), Co-Creator / Showrunner of HALT AND CATCH FIRE. TV: co-executive producer: Victor LaValle’s THE DEVIL IN SILVER (AMC), writer: MAX HEADROOM (AMC). Comics (writer): STAR TREK: DEFIANT, HELLCAT, BRIAR, NAMOR, OBI-WAN, IRON MAN, DR DOOM; BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD)
"Man o man! It is a glorious time to be reading comics. Barbaric ... delivers on the action, the violence & the funny! ... a meaty read. Bravo!" --- George G. Gustines (Writer - The New York Times)

Scott Snyder (Writer - American Vampire, Batman, Justice League (DC Comics); Wytches (Image))
“Barbaric is excellent. Beautifully drawn and brilliantly written, it’s epic, action-packed, and utterly hilarious.”
Nicholas Eames (Author - Kings of the Wyld)
“Barbaric is a riotous, hearty stew of wit and gore… Long may Owen and Axe trod their bloodstained path, bringing us along for the adventure.”
Jonathan French (Author - The Grey Bastards)
"This comic is absolutely badass. A sentient wise-cracking morally correct axe that punishes the wicked. And its human. SO. DAMNED. GOOD."
John Hornor Jacobs (Author - This Dark Earth, Infernal Machines, A Lush and Seething Hell)
"This book is seriously great. Do not miss out!"
Darick Robertson (Artist, Co-Creator of The BOYS, Co-Exec Producer)
