Walking Dead Creator Debuts New Comic Called Oblivion Song
Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead comic and Invincible, has debuted his latest work titled Oblivion Song.
The story focuses on Nathan Cole, a man tasked by the government to rescue people from Philadelphia, a city where 300,000 went abruptly missing in a hellscape now known as Oblivion. Using a variety of tools, Cole has to battle various-sized demonic monsters whilst searching for the tens of thousands still missing, including his brother. Oblivion Song is illustrated by Lorenzo De Felici and Annalisa Leoni, both of who are making their comic artwork debuts.
The first issue is out now and the next two issues release April 11 and May 9. You can order or download the first issue here.
Our Take
After reading the first issue, I was actually quite fascinated with the premise. It does an excellent job establishing the foundation and lore, setting up questions for the readers in a non-intrusive manner, and establishing character's motivations.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
