Synopsis

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!

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

See why Entertainment Weekly calls DMZ writer Brian Wood's fresh take on Viking lore, NORTHLANDERS, "a well researched, richly realized world that illuminates politics and culture without getting bogged down in history-book stuff."

This volume focuses on Lindisfarne, England; an ancient center of religion and learning that was the infamous site of the first Viking raid on a monastery. Witness the vicious attack from the perspective of a native - a young Saxon boy who dreams of the larger world, of better things, of heroes and myths and foreign gods. Are the Vikings what he's been waiting for?
