Image Comics has announced Andrew Krahnke’s new three-issue miniseries Bloodrik, which promises action and a story about how we see ourselves. You can find the first issue in comic shops on December 6.
“I came up with the rough idea for this comic in about ten minutes, after I sketched Bloodrik for the first time. I knew I wanted it to be about a hulking woodsman making his way across a brutal landscape looking for food. Seemed like a simple enough idea. It would be another ten years before I sat down to finally start drawing it,” said Krahnke.
So what’s Bloodrik about?
Bloodrik is angry, confused and starving. After finding nothing but failure in his usual hunting grounds he stomps his way into unfamiliar woods in an attempt to feed his stomach and heal his wounded ego. What he finds will lead him on a journey of madness, violence, fire and BLOOD!
Krahnke added, “During those ten years of writing, rewriting, and re-rewriting, Bloodrik evolved from that simple idea into a story about how we see ourselves and the trouble we can get into when we let the idea of who we think we are dictate how we see the world. This book is the result of a lot of time, effort, and energy and I’m extremely proud of the end result. I think anyone who gives it a chance will find something to enjoy. At the very least it makes a great visual companion to whatever viking metal playlist you prefer.”
