The acclaimed 2022 video game, Cult of the Lamb, could be expanding with a new comic series from Oni Press: Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse. This series will adapt and expand on the game’s lore. Fans of Lamb, the cult leader, will have the opportunity to experience his story in a new way, while new readers can readily jump in for the first time.
Now available to support on Kickstarter, Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse has the creative team of Alex Paknadel and Troy Little. It is the result of a partnership between developer Massive Monster, video game publisher Devolver Digital, and comic publisher Oni Press.
The hit game just received a DLC expansion, Cult of the Lamb: Sins of the Flesh, but now the world will expand beyond gaming. In addition to the live Kickstarter campaign, Oni Press has shared a teaser image.

Cult Of The Lamb Could Expand To Comics With Fan Support
Cult of The Lamb has won numerous awards and award nominations. These have included three BAFTA nominations.”Best Indie Game” for the Golden Joystick Awards, and “Game of the Year” for the Gayming Awards. The game has over three million players since its release in 2022, having sold one million units in the first week of its release. With the amount of success it has had, Cult of the Lamb is ready to take the next step in its storytelling with its own potential comic expansion. The synopsis for the expanding franchise is as follows:
CULT OF THE LAMB cast players into the role of Lamb – a supernaturally resurrected cult leader empowered by an impossibly ancient deity to recruit followers into the thrall of his doom-laden gospel. The game offers a vibrant and dynamic world perfect for the comic book medium. Anthropomorphic animals! Folk-horror magic! What’s not to love?
Alex Paknadel is known for working on All Against All and Red Goblin. Troy Little is an Eisner Award-nominated artist known for Chiaroscuro, Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons, and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Little’s work on the graphic novel, Angora Napkin, was nominated for an Eisner. This all-star team is prepared to tackle Cult of the Lamb’s next big potential expansion – but only if fans can turn Lamb’s dream of developing a bigger cult following into a reality via crowdfunding.
