    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    1 exceeded 137,000 — making it the best-selling comic ever for the growing independent publisher and one of the top ordered indies of 2023, if not the decade.

    Yost, known as the co-creator of Logan character X-23, was a big-name Marvel comics author and Marvel animation scribe before diving into the feature film and TV world, co-writing Thor: Ragnarok and writing on The Mandalorian, among other high-profile projects.

    Val Rodrigues is the artist on Unnatural Order, which is a blend of fantasy, science fiction and action.

    The logline, per Vault, is thus: In ancient Britain an unstoppable evil known only as the Druid plunges the world into an age of horror, fire and sacrifice.

    “I’m truly overwhelmed and honored by the support retailers have shown for the book, for me, Val, Dearbhla (Kelly, colorist), (lettering studio) Andworld and all the team at Vault.”

    The book started off as a Kickstarter and by the end came with burdensome variant covers incentives, where retailers had to order a certain number of copies to receive more rare copies with special covers by select artists that would sell for vastly increased prices.
