It was back in August when Paradox Interactive first announced that it partnered with Dead Good Comics for an official comic book for Crusader Kings III. The mini-comic titled "Crusader Kings III - Many Roads to Power" is finally here. It serves as the official comic book tie-in prequel to the game's upcoming expansion which is Roads to Power.
The comic tells the story of Basil I, also known as "the Macedonian." Set to be a playable character in the expansion, he served as Emperor of the Byzantine Empire between 867 and 886 AD. The story is all thanks to Stu Taylor (Octobriana and the Underground, Warhammer Monthly) with artwork being done by Simone Ragazzoni (Dune: House Corrino, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners) and Ellie Wright (Disney Villains: Cruella de Vil, Survival Street). The cover of the comic book meanwhile was from Vincenzo Riccardi (Something is Killing the Children, Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!).
