Owen the Barbarian is under a witches' curse to make amends
for his murderous past. His bloodthirsty talking Axe is his moral compass. And
he'll do whatever it takes to do good, even it if it means cleaving a few
skulls. Even if it means helping a witch.
OWEN THE BARBARIAN HAS AN AXE. AND HE'S GONNA DO GOOD WITH IT IF HE HAS TO KILL
SOMEONE.
Owen the Barbarian has been cursed to do good with what remains of his life.
His bloodthirsty weapon, Axe, has become his moral compass with a drinking
problem. Together they wander the realm, foredoomed to help any who seek
assistance. But there is one thing Owen hates more than a life with rules: Witches.
Welcome to the skull-cracking, blood-splattering, mayhem-loving comic brave
enough to ask: How can a man sworn to do good do so much violence? Hah! F***ing
with you. It’s just…BARBARIC.
Collects #1 to #3 of the multi-part series.

As one
of Entertainment Weekly’s “10 Best Comics of 2021,” Barbaric –
featuring Owen the Barbarian and his bloodthirsty companion Axe – returns in a
whirlwind of blood, humor, and mayhem with an evil demigod, vampires, and
rampaging monsters!
Hailed as one of the best comics of 2021 by Entertainment Weekly, Thrillist, Screen
Rant, and more, bestselling BARBARIC returns with its second explosive
volume!
When a foe from Owen's past returns, he embarks on a bloody mission to succeed
where he once failed and kill a malevolent demigod. Which suits Axe just fine,
considering he hasn't gotten drunk on god blood yet! Meanwhile, Owen's former
barbarian comrade, now a timid vampire, gets cold feet about a life of
violence. But in the world of BARBARIC, where orcs, giant spiders, and devil
bats roam the land, and doing good is full of gore, is there any other way?
For fans of BRZRKR!, The Witcher, Conan the Barbarian, Red
Sonja, Heathen, Rat Queens, and Dungeons and
Dragons!
Collects the second three-issue miniseries (Axe to Grind) and the
special one-shot standalone (Harvest Blades)!
It’s just … BARBARIC!
From writer Michael Moreci (Wasted Space, The Plot, and Revealer)
and artist Nathan C. Gooden (Brandon Sanderson's Dark One, The RUSH,
Vampire: The Masquerade)!
