Warlords of Appalachia

In the near-future, the heart of Appalachia has been shattered by a mysterious disaster, leaving its survivors to forge a brutal, feudal society from the ruins. Published by Boom! Studios, this 2016–2017 miniseries, with its striking visuals by artist Massimo Carnevale, explores a gritty, post-apocalyptic landscape where rival warlords clash over scarce resources and the legacy of a lost world. It matters as a compact, self-contained saga that blends Southern Gothic atmosphere with hard-edged survival drama, offering a distinct take on the collapse of civilization.
