I agree. This book seemed to step a little farther into the modern language. I have to go back and look at the past issues. I don't remember them being modernized this much. Loved the book though and the dialogue about Odin's hall was great.
Great book can't wait to see how it wraps up.

i actually like the modern dialogue. i know it's not historically accurate, but i feel the foul-mouthery suits the vikings well.
on a different note. i didn't realize this was only a 8 issue mini. i feel slightly underwhelmed by this series all of a sudden.

It's not a mini... the first 8 ish's make up the first arc. Another arc starts in #9, I believe with a new artist.

The only thing that bugs me (slightly) about this book is the dialouge. I guess I expect Vikings to speak a little more... um, grander? The modern language takes me out of it slightly, I understand it's a necessary tool... maybe it's just the swearing. Did Vikings have a version of "fuck?"
Otherwise, it is a beautiful book... the landscapes are breathtaking. Wood's really been lucky to work with some unrecognized yet amazing artists both here and on DMZ.
