Damnation Crusade began life as a six-issue newsstand series in late 2006. Written by Dan Abnett and Ian Edginton with art by Greg Boychuk and Lui Antonio, it debuts “In the nightmare future of the 41st millennium, Mankind teeters upon the brink of extinction. The galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man is beset on all sides by ravening aliens, and threatened from within by malevolent creatures and heretic rebels. Only the strength of the Immortal Emperor of Terra stands between Humanity and its annihilation. Foremost amongst servants of the Imperium stand the Space Marines, mentally and physically engineered to be the supreme fighting force, the ultimate protectors of Mankind. The Black Templars are fearless champions and unforgiving crusaders against the enemies of the Emperor. Forged from the Imperial Fists Space Marines in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy, the Black Templars have undertaken the longest crusade the Imperium has ever known to prove their loyalty. The comic centers on a new recruit to the Black Templars Space Marines and a member from their elite Sword Brethren squad, and, the most venerable of their warriors, the Dreadnaught. From the Battle of Carrion Gulf all the way through the Torment Crusade we follow these genetically enhanced super-warriors in their dedicated hunt for the enemies of the Imperium.”
Forge of War debuted in 2007, written by Abnett and Edginton with art by Rahsan Ekedal, and continued to expand the Warhammer 40,000 universe. “From the wind-scoured North they’ve come: The Hordes of Chaos, ruthless warriors raised in battle and fanatically devoted to their dark gods. On a hundred-mile front across the Northern fringes of the Empire, the defenses of man and his dwarf allies are crumbling, fear threatens to become panic, and the blood of martyrs runs ankle-deep. Here begins the hopeless quest of a ramshackle band led by a mere Greatsword Sergeant—if, of course, they don’t kill each other first.…”
