-> ''"And the earth was filled with violence."''
-->-- ''Literature/TheBible'', [[Literature/BookOfGenesis Genesis]] 6:11
In the Literature/BookOfGenesis, Adam and Eve are banished from the Garden of Eden and their oldest son Cain kills his younger brother Abel.
1,600 years later, the world has become irrevocably corrupt. Civilizations have come and gone and what remains of humanity are corrupt, monstrous savages who indulge in debauchery and barbarity. Those who believe in God see the world as a doomed and wicked place, and there are those who believe that God will wipe the sleight clean and flood the world.
Cain, the man who invented murder and was corsed by God for it, seeks out the one thing he wants more than anything: an end to his eternal life.
''The Goddamned'' is a 2015 Creator/ImageComics series written by Creator/JasonAaron (''ComicBook/ThorGodOfThunder2012'') and illustrated by R.M. Guera (''ComicBook/{{Scalped}}'')

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the Literature/BookOfGenesis, Noah is portrayed as a humble, god-fearing individual who builds the Ark with nothing but himself and his family, his efforts to save others being met with mockery. Here, he is a ChurchgoingVillain who either slaughters or enslaves the various people that inhabits the wasteland.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:In ''The Virgin Brides'', Sharri confesses her love for Jael with her dying breath and Jael managed to end New Eden's machinations with the help of The Kingdom. While her fellow "brides" are too indoctrinated to appreciate it, it's implied that they will eventually realize the heroics of what Jael did. Now an adult, Jael roams the Earth to kill the {{Nephilim}} run amok.]]
* DownerEnding: ''Before the Flood'' ends [[spoiler:with Noah dying before he could build his Ark before the Flood. Cain's hope of a {{Nephilim}} ending his life proves fruitless, and while regains his will to live at the thought of staying with Aga and Lodo, Lodo kills Aga after his time as Noah's slave corrupts him. Cain is now back to square one: alone and unable to end his misery in a hopelessly unforgiving world.]]

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the Book of Genesis, Noah died at age 950 of natural causes long after TheGreatFlood. Here, he didn't even finish the Ark before Cain kills him with his bone tomahawk.
* FrazettaMan: A lot of the primitive humans are portrayed as more ape-like mongrels than people, implied to be the result of both their barbaric lifestyles and inbreeding.
* TheFundamentalist: The story takes a very [[GodIsEvil antitheistic portrayal of the Abrahamic God]], so a lot of his followers are portrayed as insane, delusional and no less barbaric than the savage tribes they claim superiority over.
* HopeSpot: Cain regains his will to live after he saves a greatful Aga and her son Lodo, and he even considers staying with them [[spoiler:until Lodo's time as Noah's slave compels him to kill his mother, believing that she made him "weak".]]
* JerkassGods: While Cain isn't exactly unbiased, the story lands credence to the idea that the Biblical God is, at-best, apathetic to humanity's suffering, [[GodIsEvil is an actively sadistic monster at worse]].
--> '''Cain:''' He hears everything. Every scream. Every cry, every whimper. Every plea for mercy. For death. He hears. He just doesn't give a fuck.
* LadyLand: New Eden is an isolated nunnery {{cult}} populated entirely of women. They believe that the "sons of Adam" (regular human men) are impure and their warrior caste will routinely leave the mountain range to kill men, kidnapping their virgin daughters to replenish their stock of "brides". These "brides" are routinely sacrificed to God where they "marry the sons of God" (i.e. raped by angels) and produce {{Nephilim}} spawn that they keep in pens.
* {{Nephilim}}: Like in most Biblical lore, Nephilim here are portrayed as monstrous giant men born from angels raping human women. [[spoiler:In ''The Virgin Brides'', it's revealed that the various Nephilim that roam the lands were cultivated by a {{Cult}} of women, breeding them using virgin girls they kidnap and raise as brood-mares.]]
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: The closest we see to demons are The Kingdom, a race of sentient talking snakes with small bat wings.
* ReluctantWarrior: Cain's immortality makes him invincible and his age leaves him little patience for the savages that plague the badlands, so while he is perfectly willing to slaughter his way out of a tidelwave of wild-men, he won't actively seek out a fight.
* StonePunk: The story is set 16 centuries after Adam and Eve's exile from Eden and before The Great Flood, and the most advanced tech we ever see are iron weapons and wheeled caravans, though Cain's recognition of these advancements imply that they are rediscovered and reinvented as civilizations rise and fall.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The mark of Cain gives him a HealingFactor and ResurrectiveImmortality, having wandered the Earth for over 1,600 years since he "invented murder." He has since spent that entire time surviving monsters and monstrous humans, trying and failing to die at every opportunity.
