Epic fantasy stories likeThe Lord of the RingsorGame of Thronesmay blend medieval lore with conjuration , butThe Last Godis look to do something a little dissimilar . The novel phantasy mirthful series fromDC ’s Black Labelis diving into repugnance , imagine the most grotesque , disturbing , and undeniably fill characters and struggle that subsist in the shadows , ordinarily unseen and undiscovered by the shimmering , noble torpedo . And that extends to the mystic ( and horrifying ) gods the creators have now venerate .

Screen Rant had the chance to speak with author Phillip Kennedy Johnson about the extensivelore and mythology constructed forThe Last God , and now we ’re pleased to offer a glimpse behind the scenes , with artist Riccardo Federici ’s construct drawings of the deities who created the world of Cain Anuun out of the void … and The Last God who has returned to destroy it .

These ancient god existed long before the world of Cain Anuun and its inhabitant came into being , with none more sinister or terrific than the titular subsister , draw by author Phillip Kennedy Johnson as the incarnation of the void palisade Creation,“that ’s been hungrily watching us from the window since the mean solar day we were born . “readers are guaranteed to get more than one brainstorm into the history of Cain Anuun and the Supreme Being who once govern it , since the story of The Last God spans decades , following the heroes who claimed to slay the darkness , and the descendants learning the horrible truth .

We ’ll allow Johnson explain how artist Riccardo Federici translated that lore onto the page in all its unsettling dish :

The idol of Cain Anuun are the creators of their human beings , live animate being that have long since died ( all but one , that is ) and leave their macrocosm to less beingness like us . Their stories are remembered by almost no one in Cain Anuun , but we ’ll get along to learn that their actions left profound repercussions , and their secrets will have to be expose for anyone or anything to survive .

Riccardo is a genius at character design , so after explain to him who the gods were , I go forth their optic purpose entirely in his hands . His brilliant design helped me further flesh out the gods ’ character , their histories , and their roles in the creation of Cain Anuun .

So with that , reader can junket their heart on the deities behind the ancient history ofThe Fellspyre Chronicles : Mol Kalakto , Mol Anyue , Mol Rangma , Mol Choresh , Ang Luthia , and The Last God itself , Mol Uhltep .

Artist Riccardo Federici has made trusted to turnevery preview ofThe Last Godinto a mixture of classic phantasy , and nightmarish horror ( the like of which will never be found in the work of either Tolkien or Martin ) . But for all the sentence spend make the slipstream , worlds , and culture at oeuvre onThe Last God , Federici was able to let his own imagination run risky in imagine these dingy , ancient deity :

I love to project places , environment and puppet from other worlds , so THE LAST GOD offer me the wondrous opportunity to express my passion . When I study the first concept from Phillip , I straight off come up with 1000 of ideas that I then attempt to condense into what later became the character and places of this story . I was prosperous , because a lot of character have been approved right by and this is very important , as it means that there is a great professional harmony between myself and Phillip !

Phillip tried to create a phantasy reality that would excite fans of this genre . I had no specific indication on the appearance of the deity . To create them I had to swear only on their story - and that was perfect for me !

These deities are ancient and real but have an unusual and supernatural aspect that does not follow the system of logic of earthly forcible laws . This helps to highlight the curiosity of the strange , mediaeval , unhealthy and corrupted world of THE LAST GOD .

concerned readers and fans of repulsion fantasy can enjoy these monsters and many more , when DC’sThe Last God # 1arrives in your local comic book workshop October 30th , 2019 .
