Ruled by the Fates. Manipulated by the Gods. Commanded by Caesar. In the year 65 A.D., one’s destiny was not his own. At the height of Nero’s reign, a veteran of Rome’s imperial war machine has been dispatched to the farthest reaches of the colonies to investigate unnatural happenings… In the remote outpost of Britannia, Antonius Axia – the First Detective – will become Rome’s only hope to reassert control over the empire’s most barbaric frontier…and keep the monsters that bridge the line between myth and mystery at bay…
On October 26th, don’t miss your chance to jump onboard Milligan, Ryp, and Allen’s acclaimed psychological journey into terror, temptation, and bloodshed. From the darkest of shadows, a brand-new hero will rise, only in the BRITANNIA #1 THIRD PRINTING!
Then, in just one week, Antonius’ mind-bending opus continues in BRITANNIA #2 (of 4)! On October 12th, duty leads to darkness when Antonius Axia, the world’s first detective, is dispatched to a land where order, sanity, and law hold no authority. As reality threatens to unravel with each step into his inconceivable investigation, Antonius must rely on his fractured mind to keep Britannia’s untold horrors at bay…and his very soul from shattering!
