Diablo Dawn of Hatred: Nick Marinkovich

Akarat, the ancient prophet whose teachings spawned the Zakarum faith, has risen from death. He claims he has returned to spread peace, love, and the Light. His powers healed the leader of the Fox Tribe, and now the barbarians are amongst his most loyal followers. That is, all but Derris. Though his people have sworn themselves to Akarat and the Light, Derris knows that a cycle of violence will consume Sanctuary sooner or later—an opinion shared by the mysterious Vrexia, another skeptic swept up in Akarat’s caravan. Though Akarat claims peace and love, violence and suspicion shadow his every step. Will Vrexia be able to prove that Akarat is not who he seems before the war between the Heavens and the Hells raze Sanctuary? Will Derris remain true to the barbarian traditions, even if it means breaking from his tribe; or will he, too, be blinded by the Light. The Diablo: Dawn of Hatred graphic novel collects issues 1-4 of the comic series of the same name, plus the Free Comic Book Day 2025 special release, and behind the scenes material from the development of the comic series.
