Mad Cave Studios has announced that Nottingham, a dark and twisted take on the well-known story of Robin Hood, will be released on March 3.
They're celebrating by releasing a new Nottingham preview trailer, which we've embedded below. After watching the trailer, we're sure you'll agree that this isn't the typical Robin Hood story that you grew up with. Not only that, but Hood's band of "Merry" Men seem to be anything but!
In this twisted medieval noir, the Sheriff of Nottingham hunts a serial killer with a penchant for tax collectors. The Sheriff’s investigation makes him the target of England’s most nefarious power-brokers. That’s to say nothing of the Merry Men, terrorists lurking amongst the trees of Sherwood, led by an enigma known only as “Hood.”
Mad Cave Studios has also announced a giveaway that will include a chance to win a Nottingham poster (pictured below), the five single issues, the Nottingham Vol. 1 trade, and a digital issue each month. You can learn more about the contest by clicking here!
We've included the poster from the giveaway and a few of the pages from issue #1 below. Mad Cave Studios has definitely delivered a darker and more mature view of Robin Hood...
What did you think of the Nottingham preview? Has the trailer and inner-pages piqued your curiousity? Will you be picking it up when it hits retailers in March?
