Viking Britiain

Almost two millennia after the Viking's often-terrifying reign, the modern age is used to uncover their secrets. By investigating burial sites, we discover who the Norsemen really were, what the truth was about the raids and battles, and what every-day life in a Viking settlement entailed.

Discover the Weapons and tools of the Vikings as you learn basic Norwegian vocablurary!

With that odd and somewhat juvenile title, you'd think it's going to be one of those initial-issue instant flops. On the the other hand, given Image Comics' current track record, what with The Walking Dead, Chew, The Viking, King City, et al., which I daresay puts Image ahead of Vertigo so far in the area of alternatives to the superhero genre (I have to admit I'm biased--the first three titles just mentioned are my top three choices for best ongoing series, in that order), you'd mutter to yourself, hmm... perhaps it's worth a look. You'd better. For you won't regret it. Writer AJ Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo together put on a dazzling display. One of those rare combinations of funny, snappy dialogue and kinetic art. All high-quality cover-to-cover Minutemen scans.
