STEPHEN


THE MIGHTY BARBARIANS #1


Writer: Michael Moreci


Artist: Giuseppe Cafaro


Publisher: ABLAZE Publishing


Cover Price: $3.99


Release Date: April 19, 2023

They're barbarians. They loot, they plunder, they conquer. That's what they do, and they do it alone...until NOW!

When an unstoppable force starts consuming one world after another, sorceress Morgan Le Fey uses her magic to assemble a team of skull-cracking warriors who must somehow work together to save all of existence. There's the young trickster Anansi, Viking shield maiden Birka, the shape shifting Nanook, and their leader, heir to a fallen kingdom and mightiest of warriors, KULL!

Though their alliance is uneasy, they will do whatever it takes to cut the heart right out of their mutual enemy, leaving a path of ruin through everything and everyone that stands in their way!

Before The Avengers, The Justice League, The X-Men, before it all...stood The Mighty Barbarians!
