Courtesy of Vault Comics, we have an extended preview for Barbaric #3. Out in comic book shops this Wednesday, the issue features monsters, lopping off heads, and more. Oh, and don’t miss the awesome cover by series artist Nathan Gooden and the second cover by Joshua Hixson!

For more on Barbaric make sure to check out our interview with Moreci and read our review of Barbaric #2. Plus, learn more about their big plans for Barbaric in 2022.

You’ll see from the preview below when Moreci was asked about the importance of nudity and gore and he said, “I actually think it’s very important,” he meant it. Adding, ” Our goal is to take that and turn it up to 11. Is there a line I won’t cross? I mean, not really. Obviously, we’re not going to do anything that’s offensive, but in terms of proper taste…proper taste is for Masterpiece Theater.”

Check out the summary and preview below!

Everything’s gone to sh*t. But what else is new for a barbarian cursed to do good, who has to follow the commands of a bloodthirsty axe? It’s just that today’s a little worse. With Owen’s back against the wall, and his enemies eager to chop him to bits, things are looking especially grim as the first arc of BARBARIC comes to a close.
