Northlanders by Brian Wood
At the end of the grim and barbaric dark ages, one warrior culture reigns supreme in the wastelands of the frozen North: the Vikings. In the first of two new tales, a child in brutal surroundings dreams of the Viking armies who will rescue him; in the second, a tense game of cat and mouse ensues as a Viking general must track down a rogue Irishman slaughtering his men - but neither truly understands the nature of their personal war. The stirring new series by Brian Wood ("Demo") continues with art by Dean Ormston ("Lucifer") and Ryan Kelly ("Local"), and is guaranteed to bring out your inner Viking!
..another creative victory for writer Wood... Northlanders takes you into a well-researched, richly realized world that illuminates politics and culture without getting bogged down in history-book stuff. - Entertainment Weekly A great opening to a potentially fantastic series, mixing action, suspense, and realistic drama in the gritty setting of Viking-era Scotland. - ComicsBulletin.com An excellent piece of work... it's 300 meets Braveheart plus Hamlet with a bloodstained heart. - ComicBookResources.com
