Everything's gone to sh*t. But what else is new for a barbarian cursed to do good, who has to follow the commands of a bloodthirsty axe? It's just that today's a little worse. With Owen's back against the wall, and his enemies eager to chop him to bits, things are looking especially grim as the first arc of BARBARIC comes to a close.
Barbaric #3 ends the new series' first arc on a high note, drawing all of its threads into a spectacularly bloody finale filled with satisfying connections"whether it's the literal meeting of Axe and enemies or a new bond between comrades. Read Full Review
'Barbaric' #3 ends the first arc far too soon but it's a satisfying, mind-blowing good time that leaves readers clamoring for more adventures with Owen and the gang. It reads like the third act of an epic blockbuster film where nothing is held back and it's just one chaotic smorgasbord of blood and guts. One of this year's biggest new titles will go on hiatus but what a way to go out. Read Full Review
In this bonkers conclusion to its first arc, 'Barbaric' reminds fantasy readers why there's nothing else quite like it on the shelf. Read Full Review
Barbaric was a wonderful breath of fresh air when it began but it was also incredibly nostalgic at the same time to some of my 80s and 90s comic origins. Owe may just be a barbarian but there's plenty of nuance to him and then the whole curse thing itself. The axe is the perfect delight and I really liked how Soren was integrated into things so that while you do get sexy moments, that's ht the main focus. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this property and the seeming large plans that they have in store for it as it's off to a great start. Read Full Review
Moreci, Gooden, and Duke definitely stick the landing in Barbaric #3 shooting for both big character and action beats while ending things on the jokey tone that has made this series so endearing. If you want a fantasy comic that isn't full of shit and is self-aware, violent, and makes you deeply care about its (not so) golden trio, the three issues of Barbaric are worth seeking out.

Owen and his talking axe have a lot of fighting and maiming to do in ‘Barbaric' #3 before the end of this first story arc. Lucky he enjoys this kind of bloody lifestyle. Read Full Review
This book is amazing. It will make you laugh a lot. Axe is now one of my favorite comic book characters!
Only reason I am giving this a 9.5 is cause I am sad I have to wait till 2022 to get more Barbaric content. This series is amazing and I am sad to wait. The ending was perfect, the writing was perfect, the art was perfect. I can not wait to see what happens next!
