Overlord

In this German comic adaptation of the popular light novel series, the Overlord manga follows a player trapped inside a fantasy MMORPG after its servers shut down, now ruling as the skeletal overlord Ainz Ooal Gown. Published by Carlsen Comics from 2017 to 2025 across 19 issues, this series brings the dark isekai tale to a new audience with its signature blend of world-building, political intrigue, and morally ambiguous power. The adaptation is most closely associated with its original creators, but stands as a key entry in bringing the franchise's complex narrative to European readers.
