Northlanders #41

Vertigo's Northlanders delivers a self-contained tale in issue #41 with "Thor's Daughter," written by Brian Wood with art by Marian Churchland. Massimo Carnevale's cover painting presents a fierce, braided young woman in fur-trimmed armor, her expression set with quiet resolve as she raises a gleaming blade against a hazy, rust-toned landscape of standing stones. It's a striking, atmospheric image that captures exactly the kind of grounded Viking drama this series does so well.
