Kodansha Comics Vinland Saga Vol. 8

Description

At The Turn Of The 11Th Century, The North Sea Is In The Grip Of The Viking Terror. The Clever Askeladd Leads His Small Band Of Mercenaries Into London, With The Aid Of The Ruthless Young Thorfinn, Son Of A Warrior In The Dreaded Jomsvikings. But This Is An Alliance Of Convenience: Thorfinn Has Sworn To Kill Askeladd One Day To Avenge His Father'S Death. When A Race Begins To Capture The Prince And Secure The Rights To The Throne, Personal Grudges Will Clash With The Fate Of A Kingdom, And Blood Will Be Spilled Review: Physical condition of the book - Pristine Review: If you made it this far in the series do not stop now. - A New story arc continuing the canon Vinland saga. Though the premise does not show its true potential yet with this being the first issue of a new story, the writing and characters continue to be written in a fun and approachable way. True to the previous two arcs the first issue has set up the base work for the story to come. Strong story, historically accurate set pieces, that really show the passion for the source material (in this case vikings), Vinland saga continues to do for vikings what Hajimi no Ippo did for boxing. Real passion and solid talent continue a fantastic and tragic romp for a title truly deserving of the moniker "saga".
