Northlanders #9
An all-new story arc begins! Lindisfarne, England: An ancient center of religion and learning, and the infamous site of the first Viking raid. Described as "demons from hell," the Vikings kicked it off with a vicious attack on a monastery. See it all 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? Featuring guest art by Dean Ormston (LUCIFER)!

Why come? I had planned on getting the trade when it comes out in a month, and jumping on with the monthlies if I like.

I loved the previous arc up until the last couple issues. Something about the way it wrapped up seemed, I dunno...unsatisfying. I'm thinking about dropping this and then picking up the trades if folks rave about it.

I dropped about four issues in. Just wasn't doing it for me. I thought the dialogue was too modern... but on the other hand trying to use a faux viking age style of vernacular would have been cheesy. I dunno.
I'll check this out though, maybe a new story arc will renew my interest.

This new story was probably my favorite so far.
