Diablo Dawn Of Hatred #1 (OF 4)

Diablo Dawn of Hatred is the first issue in a grim, sprawling miniseries set in the Diablo universe. Writer Cullen Bunn teams with Daniele Serra on art to tell a dark, atmospheric tale in Sanctuary. Akarat, the long-dead legend whose teachings birthed the Zakarum faith, returns claiming to spread peace, love, and the Light. His powers heal the leader of the Fox Tribe and rally barbarians to his side, leaving Derris to contend with the looming shadow of endless violence. The narrative follows Derris, a skeptic of Akarat, as danger closes in and assassins strike. The presence of the enigmatic Vrexia deepens the intrigue as the caravan travels toward an uncertain future. With stark black-and-white visuals and tight, moody storytelling, this opening issue sets up a mythic conflict that could reshape Sanctuary, blending high fantasy, horror, and action, while expanding a beloved game world for new and returning fans.
