Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!
Your unwavering commitment to the Lamb has been a true sight to behold! We cower before the fellowship of this mighty flock! We have seen your devotion to Lamb…and the next campaign stretch goal has thus been unlocked!
As decreed, all physical backers of this campaign will now also be bestowed this rapturous 8x10” art print by the divine Abigail Starling:
Feast thine eyes:
Glorious iconography, indeed. Bask in its resplendent glory!
But we must rest not, fellow followers! There is still yet another Stretch Goal awaiting its great release!
When we reach the next Stretch Goal milestone at $500,000, every physical order shall be enhanced with a stunningly crafted, mini-set of eight (8) CULT OF THE LAMB tarot cards featuring the stunning artwork of Brenda Hickey. Assure your ultimate destiny and spread the word of the Lamb far and wide to receive this next stunning reward!
And because our work on CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE – as brought to life by the glorious talents of writer Alex Paknadel and artist Troy Little – is already well underway, we have judged time right to give ye faithful the first look at what awaits inside with these NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN penciled pages from CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE!
(Please note: This is raw, in-process artwork straight from the desk of Troy Little – the final pages included in the comic series and graphic novel will, of course, be inked, colored, and fully rendered with magnificent dialogue throughout!)
Do not falter in your commitment for there is much more waiting to be bestowed upon the faithful … and more surprises that stand to yet be revealed!
Praise the Lamb,
Team Oni

Greetings, Followers of the Lamb,
Aye, your patience is vast and your fealty unwavering. Deepest thanks for not only continuing to fan the flame of the CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE campaign forward over this first week, but also waiting with great fortitude as we marshaled ourselves to unleash even more new tiers upon an unsuspecting world.
Today, we're excited to unveil three new tiers -- all inspired by the comments and questions we've been hearing from you directly in recent days.
First and foremost: Bask in the raw, unexpurgated glory of CULT OF THE LAMB key artist and character designer Carles Dalmau's artwork with the CARLES DALMAU CARDSTOCK PRINT SET – a deluxe set of five (5) high-quality art prints reproducing Dalmau's upcoming cover art for CULT OF THE LAMB #1-4 (plus his spectacular HERETIC EDITION cover art!) on rigid, 11x17" cardstock. Display your praise and adorn thy walls in the divine image of the Lamb!
Then: For those of you yearning for more signed editions of the CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE hardcover, we're elated to unveil the EXCLUSIVE SIGNED HARDCOVER – UNLIMITED EDITION tier, which features exclusive cover art by rising star Billy Fowler!
Like the now sold-out EXCLUSIVE HARDCOVER – SIGNED EDITION tier before it, this will be eternally bound to a bookplate inscribed by writer Alex Paknadel and artist Troy Little and comes complete with one copy of the CULT OF THE LAMB #1 BLOOD RED FOIL VARIANT, plus a CULT OF THE LAMB SCREENPRINTED PATCH, crafted in North Carolina at the skilled hands of Holy Mountain Printing.
And because this is an "unlimited" edition, we will take any and all orders for this exclusive hardcover edition until the campaign is closed!
And, finally, in preparation for Lamb's arrival in comic book stores throughout the land later this year, secure the ultimate show of your COMPLETE devotion with THE COMPLETE VARIANT COVER COLLECTION!
May the light shine upon this resplendent and robust collection of ALL CULT OF THE LAMB #1-4 VARIANT COVERS – including those included in this campaign, plus each and every cover debuting in comic shops later this year (including limited-edition variant covers)! This includes roughly 30 (or more!) seraphic renderings of the Lamb from such renowned names as Carles Dalmau (Soma), Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs), Juni Ba (Monkey Meat), Abigail Starling (My Little Pony), and, yes, even multiple Eisner Award winner Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo) – plus many more soon to be revealed!
Stay tuned, for we may have even more surprises in store for you later this week!
Praise the Lamb,
Team Oni

Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!
Fellow acolytes, we must speak the truth: It's been a pretty crazy 48 hours here at Oni HQ as we grappled with – nay, succumbed to – the epic depths of devotion that cultists from around the world have ushered forth for this campaign. We've heard from you in the comments, in our DMs, in our inboxes, on the breath of the winter's wind... Thank you for showing up to support CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE from the very first minutes that we launched!
With your divine assistance, we hurtled through four Stretch Goals on our first day...AND managed to completely SELL OUT of all limited-edition items offered by the campaign.
Truth be told, we never, ever expected for those limited-edition tiers to go so quickly (or reach this many backers so fast!), so we're working with Devolver Digital and Massive Monster on getting together some new, additional surprises as quickly as possible. It may take another few days...but we're working on it (and there is a TON of art from the series that we have yet to show you)!
In the meantime, your enthusiasm enriches us still: Aye, you just shattered our fifth Stretch Goal!
And like that, each and every physical backer of this campaign will be receiving a high-quality, cardstock 8x10" art print by artist Billy Fowler!
And so, the reckoning can begin -- let's reveal our last two (for now?!?!) Forbidden Stretch Goals:
-
Once $400,000 is surpassed, we will add a SECOND 8x10" bonus art print by artist Abigail Starling to each of this campaign's physical orders! Over the aeons, Abigail has done some amazing work on comic series like My Little Pony, and you've already caught a glimpse of her artwork on the devotional candle and ritual match set included in some of the Heretic Edition tiers. She's got even more CULT OF THE LAMB artwork coming soon, so consider this new art print a premonition of sights yet to behold:
- And then... Pray tell, this is a Stretch Goal of maximum import for our brethren near and far: Once $500,000 is surpassed, we will add a mini-set of eight (8!!!) CULT OF THE LAMB tarot cards to every physical order! Featuring newly crafted artwork manifesting the cards from Clauneck's deck into physical reality by artist Brenda Hickey(Aggretsuko), these cards shall foretell your destiny to rise as a member of Lamb's flock...or doom you to the dark fate of The Old Faith:
It would be sacrilege to reveal exactly which eight cards we'll be including until the moment is just right... But should the cards' Stretch Goal be unlocked before the end of the campaign, we shall introduce them at opportune moments afforded by the will of The One Who Waits...
This is much more yet to come for CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE – venerate and ye shall be rewarded with more revelations!
Praise the Lamb,
Team Oni
