The First Americans is an epic prehistoric adventure from Critical Entertainment, set at the end of the Ice Age 14,000 years ago, as a tribe of Paleo-Indians travels across the land bridge from Siberia into North America to hunt mammoths. Kraig Rasmussen brings his muscular pen-and-ink style to the series as a cover artist.
Rasmussen’s cover art has anchored the series from the start — his cover on issue #1 helped introduce the world of the series, and he returned for a variant cover (Cover B) on issue #3, released September 24, 2025, as part of the eight-issue run. His covers sit alongside the work of the series’ core creative team: creator and writer Christopher Reda, artist Tadd Galusha on Cover A, and letterer Travis Lanham, with each 40-page issue delivering a mammoth-sized slice of ancient adventure. The publisher’s official series page carries the full creative credits, and the series is tracked across MyComicShop and League of Comic Geeks.
It’s a bold concept — survival-horror stakes, sweeping Ice Age vistas, and a cast of characters fighting for their tribe’s future against the most dangerous megafauna that ever walked the earth. Fans of Northlanders, Alpha, and prehistoric fiction will find a lot to sink their teeth into.
The series is available through comic shops and digital retailers; check with your local shop or the Critical Entertainment site for the latest issues and covers.
