Vinland Saga, Volume 4 by Makoto Yukimura
5.0

Well hot damn, shit is going down town...I mean down. Oh whatever, this shit is epic.

So this starts with alot of plotting. The king is NOT happy his son arrived home safe. He was hoping the boy would have tied. However, the boy now has Thorfinn, Thorkell, and Askeladd. Things begin to heat up and then the ending, the last few chapters, are balls to the walls action. Betrayal, schemes, a big old "Fuck you motherfuckers" moments. So much craziness and ends on a quiet note that also leaves the series going into a new direction.

Good: The art is glorious. The fights flow so smooth at times that I only HOPE the anime is going to look as good as this. The plot twist are fucked up, some game of thrones level shit going on. The ending leaves the series in a whole new direction that I can't see how it'll turn around. Oh and Askeladd got his moment to shine like a mofo.

Bad: Nothing really.

This is amazing epic that should be read by any fan of Manga/viking/badass shit. This is a easy 5 out of 5.
