Holy shit where was this my whole life? Did I just not see this ever? Like DAMN this was pretty awesome! Sven is a dude coming back to take his land back. He was once amongest the viking, left, and returns to find Gorm, the guy who took over his land after his father had died. Fuck that guy. Sven going to handle it but it's not going to be easy. He's all by himself and learns to take them out. This is like a thriller meets medievil epic, mixed with espionage because of Sven fighting style.

Before I get to it just know this isn't history accurate. I'm okay with that. Even more so they took out old english that's boring and shitty and replaced it with more modern language. So Sven will be like "Fuck yourself" and I'm so okay with this because it feels more natural. I'm not reading comics to get a history lesson, I'm reading to see some epic grimy shit in Viking world. I got just that.

What I liked: Sven is a piece of shit half the time. I love that though. We don't always need or deserve a heroic hero. Then we also got a vast land to take over and loved the hell out of the design of the land. I also loved the fighting as it was screwed up and brutal as hell. Also enjoyed a lot of the characters and how each one made another stronger or weaker. I also loved the storytelling and pacing as it was quick but ALWAYS entertaining. Never once was I bored with this one.

What I didn't like: The first two issues take a bit to get in to it. It's a shock how different it is to historical accurate properties. So that took a bit.

Overall I freaking loved it. It takes abit to go but once it does it's damn fun. I got to say I'm super impressed and ordering the next 6 volumes right now.
