Northlanders Book 3 Paperback English by Brian Wood - 14/Nov/17

Brian Wood

Even as the Vikings invaded, conquered and colonized the North Sea, they did not leave the mainland untouched. They spread outward across Europe in search of land, wealth and glory. A Norse blacksmith befriends a poor girl fallen in with corrupt Christian missionaries only to be banished. In "The Siege of Paris," medieval warfare is seen through the eyes of a simple grunt as a massive army grinds to a halt against the walls of that ancient city. And an isolated Viking settlement on the Volga River falls prey to a violent contagion as the brutal Northern winter descends in "The Plague Widow." Writer Brian Wood (DMZ, Rebels, The Massive), with a lineup of acclaimed artists including Riccardo Burchielli (DMZ), Leandro Fernandez (The Old Guard), Simon Gane (They're Not Like Us) and others, brings his modern, stylish sensibility a thousand years into the past. Collecting issues #17, #21-28, #30-34 and #37-40, NORTHLANDERS BOOK 3: THE EUROPEAN SAGA is the third of three volumes chronicling the entire NORTHLANDERS saga!

Pretty much everything I have ever wanted a comic book to be. --Brian K. Vaughan, creator of Y: THE LAST MAN and Saga "Chalk up another creative victory for writer Wood (DMZ), who's quickly emerging as one the medium's premier scribes. Like his best work, NORTHLANDERS takes you into a well-researched, richly realized world that illuminates politics and culture without getting bogged down in history-book stuff." --ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "Thoroughly researched by Wood (DMZ) and totally entertaining." --NEW YORK MAGAZINE "Taut, historically well researched. . .As a picture of human behavior in extreme conditions, these stories are moving and memorable." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
