Before he was a general leading the assault against humanity on the surface, RAAM was an upstart commander tasked with waging an unwinnable war against the Lambent to protect the Locust homeland. With the enemy pushing inexorably forward, he knows the Horde must turn its attention to more vulnerable prey, and he'll use every atrocity and deception at his disposal to bring Queen Myrrah around to his way of thinking. A prequel to the original Gears of War, written by Kurtis J. Wiebe ( Rat Queens) with art by Max Dunbar ( Dungeons & Dragons). See how it all began as the Queen's deadliest servant steers the course of history to bring about Emergence Day and the attack on humans, setting in motion the events of the game! Review "A great read overall with fantastic writing and wonderful art. I'd love to see more of the Gears of war lore in comics or expand on the rich story of the games. Kurtis Wiebe was an excellent choice." – Outright Geekery "The entirety of this series takes place from the perspective of the Locust, making it a unique addition to the Gears of War franchise... I could see fans reading this before replaying the first game." – Word of the Nerd”The art for this series is amazing! I am not kidding when I say that some of these pages feel like are pulled straight from the video game." – GWW About the Author Kurtis J.
