'DAMNATION CRUSADE'
Late this December will see the release of the brand new Warhammer 40,000 comic, 'Damnation Crusade'. Earlier this year Boom! Studios acquired the rights to make both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 comics, and after much hard work is about to release issue one of a six issue story.
Warhammer 40,000: Damnation Crusade #1 serves as an accessible opening chapter, introducing new and old readers alike to this bloody, dark, ravaged universe of science fiction and fantasy!

THE STORY
The comic centers on Raclaw, a new recruit to the Black Templars Space Marines from one of their many Chapter Keeps, Gerhart, a member of the elite Sword Brethren squad, and Tankred, one of their most venerable Dreadnoughts. From the Battle of Carrion Gulf all the way through the Damnation Crusade we follow these three genetically enhanced warriors in their dedicated hunt for the enemies of the Imperium.
