Nice, light, fluffy stuff.
Troy Little: The cutest little nightmare you’ve got the option to imagine.
Tell us about the characters… Who do we follow in the series?
The secondary protagonist is a character designed for the comic.
In many ways we follow the events of the story through Nana’s eyes.
How did you both get involved with this series?
Alex:I was approached by Oni’s Publisher Hunter Gorinson at New York Comic Con last year.
I was completely unfamiliar with the game, but Devolver sent me a copy and I was instantly hooked.
I love stepping into a complete world like that.
Absolutely in my wheelhouse, so yes - I was very much onboard after that.
How has it been developing/expanding the series' mythology for the comic?
The Lamb gets to speak for themselves in our book.
The heretics have their reasons for following the Old Faith.
It’s not just a walk through of the game, it’s so much more.
Alex has done an outstanding job - I’m totally invested in the plight of this forsaken creature.
Fans of the game are going to revel in this dark tragedy dressed in lambskin.
How do you see to it that you get it right?
Frankly, I’m pretty well placed to walk the knife’s edge and illustrate this book.
Well done, casting department!
How has it been working together on this book?
Alex:Troy is elevating absolutely every panel to stratospheric heights.
Troy:I’m going to quote you on that.
How closely have you been working with Devolver Digital and Massive Monster on the series?
Alex:We’ve been working very closely with them, but they’re not looking over our shoulders.
What are your hopes for this first run of Cult of the Lamb comics?
I hope my Lamb is their Lamb.
Secondly, I hope the book enhances fans' enjoyment of the game.
With that added context, I think the gameplay will become an even more emotionally rewarding experience.
Troy:Everything Alex just said.
We want to take the game you love and add layers to it, like a companion piece.
The charm of the style instantly grabs you and the story puts its hooks in deep.
Before you know it, you’re part of the Cult.
