Northlanders #29

Northlanders #29 brings a standalone story, "The Sea Road," to Vertigo's acclaimed Viking series, written by Brian Wood with art by Fiona Staples. Massimo Carnevale's cover is quietly breathtaking — a lone Viking longship with its checkered sail navigates luminous blue waters beneath towering, cave-like cliffs bathed in golden light, the vessel's reflection shimmering below it. It's a single image that perfectly captures the promise of open-water exploration and the vast, indifferent beauty of the Norse world.
