Cult Of The Lamb Graphic Novel Is Only $13 For A Limited Time At Amazon

Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse released in December for $20, but you can get the paperback for $12.80 while supplies last

Followers of the Cult of the Lamb can get the recently released graphic novel based on the game for cheap. Amazon has a limited-time deal that drops the price of the paperback edition of Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse to only $12.80 (was $20). Amazon has a fixed number of copies available for this price, and 10% of them had been claimed at the time of writing. The First Verse was published in December by Oni Press and collects the four-issue comic series that was successfully crowdfunded by fans via Kickstarter.

Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse is illustrated by Eisner Award–nominated artist Troy Little, colored by Nick Filardi, and written by Alex Paknadel. The cover art, which matches the first issue of the comics, was created by Carles Dalmau.

Just like the game, the comic books have a delightfully macabre sense of humor and terrific art to match a story that touches upon several ideas seen in the source material.

Here's the official description from Oni Press:

"In a land pervaded by cruelty and evil, the most innocent among us--young Lamb--was selected to become a noble sacrifice. Their death would be the magical rite that would forever seal the darkest of the Old Gods out of our realm and usher in a new age of bounty. So Lamb died, but then they made 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 falsehoods and distortions of the false prophets who rule the world and the Old Faith. And so, Lamb was given a choice: Enter oblivion as intended, or return to the land of living with unholy powers and deliver a new cult unto the Earth."
