Dark Horse Comics to Publish 'Birdking' Vol. 1 by CROM and Daniel Freedman this September

Dark Horse Comics to Publish ‘Birdking’ Vol. 1 by CROM and Daniel Freedman this September

While the old adage about not judging a book by its cover is obviously not without merit, sometimes in comics there are instances where you can probably make a pretty good guess just from that outward appearance. Such is the case with the cover of Birdking, coming from Dark Horse later this year by Daniel Freedman and CROM (whose work we originally covered way back in his self-publishing days).…

Jin Sakai - Ghost of Tsushima

Finally finished this game and it was an absolute joy to play. It took me ages to play through it and I restarted the game at some point but now I have a long line of memories attached to this beautiful title.

Wondeful review of Birdking Vol 1! This is the second time I hear from someone reviewing this book : "Dont judge a book by its cover, but in the case of Birdking you should" and it fills me with joy every time I hear it.

THE ART OF CROM: BY CROM!!!

CROM GOT ANGRY AND THE EARTH SHOOK.

Crom is the name of the god revered by most Cimmerians, including the most famous: Conan the Barbarian. It is also the pseudonym of London illustrator. Here, no frills, Crom goes to the essentials. The line is fine and regular, no solids or hairlines. The reliefs are underlined by the addition of color, always sober, or contrasting flat black.

The layout may seem imprecise, childish, at first glance, especially on these comic book pages. But on closer inspection, it's all there. The proportions are there and the atmosphere is set. Because yes, Cristian is one of those artists who favors atmosphere over details and each of his drawings exudes “something”. His characters are crowned with a story, a life of their own. We read past battles in the pose of its warriors, the darkness of a world in the face of its heroes...

His inspirations range from science fiction (with a little guilty pleasure for his Warhammer 40k fan-arts!) to heroic-fantasy with an obvious acquaintance with the marvelous world of Crom and his followers.

No doubt, Crom is a great designer! To get an idea, don't hesitate to go to his website , his Instagram or buy one of these t-shirts on crom.ink!

Dark Fantasy and Magic Collide in BIRDKING VOLUME 2

Dark Horse Comics presents BIRDKING VOLUME 2 — the sequel to last year’s critically acclaimed graphic novel — out this November. The fantasy epic is by writer Daniel Freedman (Kali) and artist CROM (Raiders).

About BIRDKING Volume 2: Bianca and Birdking continue their quest to reach Atlas, entering the domain of Hinnom, an insurmountable mountain range that is the birthplace of a dead dark empire and the battlefield in the war between the kingdoms of the North and South. Old friends, new allies, and scores of enemies await them there. No one has ever crossed Hinnom alive. But Bianca and Birdking might just make it. …Then again, maybe they won’t. 

The $19.99 graphic novel will measure 6 5/8 x 10 3/16” and spans 136 pages full of action, drama, and adventure.

BIRDKING VOLUME 2 will be released in comic shops on November 15th, 2023, and in book stores a day earlier on November 14th. It’s currently available for pre-order.

PRAISE FOR BIRDKING VOLUME 1:

“Onomatopoetic sound effects and rushing anime backgrounds make the battle scenes sing, while the use of monochromatic backgrounds and vivid facial expressions make the quiet moments incredibly powerful. About as carefully paced and deftly balanced as a story can get.” —Booklist, starred review

“CROM’s character designs are memorable, and he balances cartoony and artsy details with dramatic battle scene.” —Publisher’s Weekly

Interview I had with Mighty Jaxx for the release of the Birdking Vinyl toy last year.

"Mighty Jaxx brings this exciting world to life with Birdking by CROM. The guardian spirit’s skull is encased in transparent blue flames. At the heart lies a precious, glossy red gem that holds a secret. Other notable features include the birds surrounding it, arrows embedded in his armor, and the blade in his hands—all carefully crafted with intricate detailing."
