Fans who missed out on Cult of the Lamb: Pilgrim will soon have another chance to add the graphic novel to their collection. As part of their build-up to this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Oni Press announced it will publish a new hardcover edition of the previously sold-out book this December, bringing the story to comic shops for the first time.
Originally released as part of the limited physical edition of Cult of the Lamb’s Pilgrim DLC — that’s downloadable content, for the non-video game players out there — the 112-page graphic novel is written by Cult of the Lamb‘s head of narrative, JoJo Zhou and illustrated by the game’s concept artist, Carles Dalmau. The story takes place within the continuity of the hit video game from Massive Monster and Devolver Digital.
The graphic novel follows Jalala and Rinor as they search the dangerous Lands of the Old Faith for a place to call home. Along the way they’ll encounter cultists seeking sacrifices, mysterious mushroom merchants and rumors of a bloodthirsty beast lurking nearby.
Oni Press describes Cult of the Lamb: Pilgrim as both an entry point for new readers and an expansion of the game’s mythology for longtime fans. The new edition marks the first time the graphic novel will be widely available outside the limited DLC release.
