Scott's Take: Cult of the Lamb Vol. 1: The First Verse by Alex Paknadel (Author), Nick Filardi (Colorist), Crank! (Letterer), and Troy Little (Illustrator)
Cult of the Lamb Vol. 1: The First Verse
by Alex Paknadel (Author), Nick Filardi (Colorist), Crank! (Letterer), and Troy
Little (Illustrator), is the first book in, theoretically, a new series. There
is supposed to be more based on the ending blurb, but nothing is listed as of
yet. It came out last December, so it might be too early to know one way or the
other.
This is an adaption of the hit video game, Cult of
The Lamb. In this tale, the last lamb in a world ruled by animals who worship
evil gods is executed. With the death, lambs should be wiped from the planet.
Another god resurrects the last lamb and convinces it to get revenge on the
gods who had him killed by eliminating them and starting a cult in his name.
This is a dark book with cutesy animals that seems
to be a pretty accurate adaption of the video game from what little I have
played of it so far. I have only played it for 4 hours or so and the game is
much longer. If you like violent dark tales you could enjoy this. This is not a
light hearted tale despite the fluffy animals. It is on the shorter side since
it is only four issues. I enjoyed this book and I hope there is more.

I read this through the Hoopla App and the Dallas
Public Library System.
