Lord of Gore

A five-issue horror-comedy series from Devil's Due / 1First Comics (2016–2018), Lord of Gore follows a hapless slacker who accidentally inherits the mantle of a dark, ancient god of violence and must navigate the absurd responsibilities that come with it. Artist Daniel Leister brings a suitably grotesque, energetic style to the book's blend of splatterhouse gore and wry humor. It's a cult-favorite indie romp that leans into its premise's ridiculous potential with knowing, bloody glee.
