About the series
In 2014, IDW brought the chaotic world of Gearbox's hit video game to comics with Borderlands: The Fall of Fyrestone, a four-issue series written by Mikey Neumann with art by Agustín Padilla. This story serves as a direct prequel to the first game, chronicling the events that led to the infamous town's downfall and setting the stage for the Vault Hunters' arrival on Pandora. Neumann, a key narrative voice from the games themselves, ensures the series captures the series' signature blend of dark humor, over-the-top violence, and colorful bandit lore. It's an essential read for fans wanting a deeper dive into the game's backstory, delivered with authentic Borderlands attitude.
