An all-new story arc begins! Lindisfarne, England: An ancient center of religion and learning, and the infamous site of the first Viking raid. Described as "demons from hell," the Vikings kicked it off with a vicious attack on a monastery. See it all from the perspective of a native - a young Saxon boy who dreams of the larger world, of better things, of heroes and myths and foreign gods. Are the Vikings what he's been waiting for? Featuring guest art by Dean Ormston (LUCIFER)!

I missed the rollout of this series when I was off comics for a while. I'm waiting on a friend of mine who LARPs to start reading it before I delve deeper. I certainly enjoyed this and issue 10. It was a great jumping off point; a two-part storyline about a Christian boy of Lindisfarne who allies himself with the warring Dene. No love lost between little Edwin and his zealous father. A quick coming of age sequence and we have a young Northman in the making. Dean Ormston, who I know from Black Hammer, illustrated both issues. Discussion about this title says it's not always historically accurate. I'm not a viking expert so I'm counting on well-read critics to fill me in as I go.
