Gears of War: The Rise of RAAM

In 2018, IDW expanded the Gears of War universe with The Rise of RAAM, a four-issue miniseries that delves into the origins of the Locust Horde’s fearsome general. Illustrated by Ryan Brown, the comic bridges the gap between the video game Gears of War 2 and the prequel novel Gears of War: Anvil Gate, exploring RAAM’s ascent to power and his early conflicts with humanity. A must-read for fans of the franchise, it offers a deeper look at the enemy’s perspective while maintaining the gritty, action-packed tone of the series.
