The Last God is a dark fantasy series published as part of DC’s Black Label line and is set in a world where the Last God’s strange, otherworldly forces are ripping through Cain Anuun. The series follows a small group of uneasy allies, several of whom were part of the last expedition sent to put down the Last God 30 years prior to the beginning of the series. Dark and unforgiving, The Last God is a great new fantasy series that evokes shades of Joe Abercrombie and Robert E. Howard.
The Last God: Tales from The Book of Ages is a bit of a surprise release for DC, but it demonstrates just how popular D&D is right now. By publishing a mini-sourcebook for The Last God, DC clearly sees some crossover potential between its new fantasy series and the greatest fantasy roleplaying game of all time.
The Last God: Tales from the Book of Ages will be released on April 29th with a cover price of $4.99.
