Long Live The Queens

Barbaric is also getting badder and more beautiful. You don’t have to take my word for it. Just take a look at Corin Howell’s dazzling art, not to mention the dazzling trio of women who carry the story: Deadheart, the hulking barbarian you can’t help but love; Ka, the thief with a troubling conscience; and Serra, the timid witch who tends to hulk out and annihilate her enemies when things get tough. As you’ve come to expect from Barbaric, Queen of Swords is riotously fun, packed with humor, action, just the right dash of critical commentary, and lights-out awesome art, not to mention another fast-talking magical weapon, and–as already noted–three of the toughest women ever to hack their way through hordes of fantastical monsters.

More Details about Vault Comics

It’s a special moment for Vault as a publisher. Before Barbaric, many people told us there was no room for sword and sorcery comics anymore. Now, if you’ve read Barbaric, you probably know better than to bet against Owen and Axe. Now, here we are, years later, and Barbaric is still running under its own power. That’s a rarity in the indie comics landscape. It’s even rarer to see an indie series catch enough wind to motivate a spin-off. But that’s where we are with Queen of Swords. We’ve got a story people have loved so much that the creators wanted to give them more–more of the world, more of the characters, more of the mythology. So, that means Vault gets to clear a huge milestone and launch its first spin-off. Hats off to the team that made this possible and huge, huge thanks to the fans who have shown up for Barbaric and whom we know will be there for Queen of Swords.
