A wonderful comic-a must read( I recommend all 4 volumes including the new one-the plague widow-which is great) if you are into viking things as I am!!

Good review, Brian – I’m glad to see so much love for this book. I thought it was just ok after finishing the first arc. Not realizing it was an ongoing, I was glad that it was over. (And I generally love everything Brian Wood does) When I realized my mistake I made the decision to pick up #9 anyway and see what happened – Holy crap. #’s 9 & 10 were two of my favorite comics from all of 2008. This gave me cause to head back and re-read 1-8 again, and they read MUCH better in one sitting than they did in monthly installments. I made get this trade even tho I’ve got the floppies… ten bucks? That’s awesome.

i’ve read this in issues and would highly recommend it. especially at a $9.99 cover price. that’s a heck of deal for a great story line.

Just wanted to say that Norhlanders #5 is one of my favorite single issues of the year, great to see DC getting behind Wood and putting this out at a great price!

I love this book. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Nice review, Cronin the Barbarian.

Laurence: As for the time period, it’s 980 A.D.

I think I’m going to go pick this up. To be honest, I’ve haven’t read a lot of Brian Wood’s work except ‘Local’ and I like the finality in those stories. I hate to to be a history buff but what time is it set in? The vikings of 700 AD are a much different people than those of 1100 AD. Having said that, this is the kind of book I’ve been waiting for: Something set in medieval times which isn’t fantasy.

Does anyone know of any other books like this?
