Writer: Brian Wood; Pencils and Inks: David Gianfelice; Colors: Dave McCaig; Lettering: Travis Lanham; Covers: Massimo Carnevale;
DC Comics – Vertigo
Northlanders continues to impress and entertain. Wood appears to be sticking with Sven’s reluctant-hero stance, so much so that I still think Sven will retain his selfishness. Perhaps he will unite his people against the Saxons, but it will still be strictly for his own desires. Sven isn’t an altruist, and that’s what keeps him believable.
I hope the sales remain strong on this title. I’d hate to see something this good get canceled. The sales numbers look fairly promising, though.
