Depravity Absolute: Volume 1

by Luke Iannone, Lucas Luna, Thomas Zec (Editor)

Whacks Wangsworth is a lizardperson. Specifically, he's the only purple lizardperson. When he returns from an adventure, he finds his 2 adopted daughters in tears, and his wife kidnapped. Without hesitation, he grabs his greataxe, and begins his journey to find his wife, and get revenge. But this is only the beginning of something much more grand,
trancending the flat world of srko...

11 years earlier, an ancient man with a dark past hunted down a fallen elder god hiding underneath the flat world of srko. The events that transpired changed the course of history, setting in motion an unstoppable machine of divine wrath!
While the scorch crows conquer what they can within the old imperial territories, deep within the old mage mines is an artifact crafted by the elder god of might himself. But who is worthy to weild such power?

What is the origin of evil? Does true goodness exist in the hearts of mortals? What is a good deed, when the root of the good deed is to selfishly present one's self as selfless? Is it true that we all possess absolute depravity in our hearts?
This manga is not your typical action story. It contains graphic depictions of violence and gore that would even make a viking berserker feel sick to their core!

Okay I will be honest. When I first saw this manga. I was reluctant to read it but was convinced otherwise by a few friends. And I will say that it is amazing! I loved the characters that were introduced. I thought I was going to like Whacks a lot because of how cool he looked and ended up liking Starlight more. Each main character has a goal in mind and have character development as the story goes forth. I genuinely liked the bond that Starlight and Lord D. shared over the two weeks they had when training together. But I'm also curious onto the "we" that Whacks mentions. Besides the characters in the story. The manga has some amazing lore implemented. The concept behind absolute depravity is very well thought out and can't wait to see it develop further especially with what was said in the last few pages of the manga. The Christian ideas have been really well planted into the story and I am a sucker for gore and horror when given. The author could work on their art skills however that hasn't stopped me from reading. And besides from what I've seen on their socials and in volume 2. He really put in the effort and hard work to go above and beyond especially with 3 jobs besides this one. May God bless you brother. Can't wait to start reading Volume 2 later this year and all the best on releasing Volume 3
