Unnatural Order Vol. 1: The Prisoner by Chris Yost is about a group of warriors trying to save the planet from a great evil, the Druid. The Druid wishes to bring change, but doing so will cause the world to end and be reborn into something different. A group of warriors is trying to exact revenge on the Druid for killing their respective families, and they are hunting for its weakness. They heard of a rumor that there is a prisoner from a different time who knows the Druid’s secrets and weaknesses. Will the warriors be able to save the prisoner and put a stop to the Druid’s plans?
The graphic novel was an okay read. It did take a bit for me to get into it as there were many characters. The story got interesting as it progressed, albeit a bit predictable. I thought it was an entertaining read and I would be open to read more chapters from the author. I did enjoy the graphics and thought they were well done.

ZERO DARK THIRTY meets LORD OF THE

writer/creator Chris Yost (co-creator of Marvel's X-23 and writer of films
(THOR: Ragnarok) and series STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN) and artist Val
Rodrigues where the world is not how it's supposed to be.
EVERYONE WANTS TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
One will transform it.
One will save it.
One will destroy it.
After the fall of the Britons and the Roman invasion of Hibernia, the captive
known only as the Druid is released, sending a darkness across the world…an age
of horrors, of fire, and entrails. As the innocent burn in the Wicker fields,
those who would resist learn of the existence of a man who even the Druid
fears. For it is this prisoner, a soldier from a different time, who alone
knows the Druid’s secret: this is not how the world is supposed to be.

Unnatural Order from Vault Comics has been cooking in his head for
about 10 years, representing his desire to find a modern day take on the sword
and sorcery genre after years of sci-fi and superheroes. It’s a mash up of
military and fantasy stories, and the idea of a group of dungeon crawlers in a
helicopter gunning down a dragon so they can go fight a wizard who’s taken over
a nuclear power facility felt like a tale that needed to be told.
