Description

The first of three volumes chronicling all the NORTHLANDERS saga! Creator BRIAN WOOD (DMZ, Rebels, The Massive), with a lineup of acclaimed artists including DAVIDE GIANFELICE (Daredevil: Reborn) and RYAN KELLY (LUCIFER), brings his up to date, stylish sensibility a thousand years into the past.

The British Isles were a tempting target to the Vikings, who craved lush land to farm and wealthy monasteries to plunder, and the fractured Saxon kingdoms were barely ready to withstand.  But as time progressed and the centuries-old pagan belief in nature, the fates, and a raucous warrior afterlife were regularly replaced by the rigid traditions of Christianity, a dark ages culture war took shape.

An exiled Viking warrior returns to Orkney to claim a circle of relatives title in “Sven The Returned.” A trio of Norse wives hold a coastal fort against wave after wave of invaders in “The Shield Maidens.” A forensic investigator tracks a series of killings across pagan Ireland in “The Cross And The Hammer.”  “Thor’s Daughter” introduces a young woman, the sudden and tragic heir to an army of impatient warriors. And within the poignant “Lindisfarne,” a young boy witnesses the brutal monastery raid that began it all.

Collects NORTHLANDERS #1-16, #18-19, and #41.
