Northlanders #50

A weathered Viking helmet rests on a misty shoreline, a bird's taloned feet gripping it from above — a quietly striking image that speaks to the passage of time and the end of an era. This is the final issue of Brian Wood's acclaimed Northlanders, closing out "The Icelandic Trilogy" with part nine, "Waygone 1260," illustrated by Danijel Žeželj. Massimo Carnevale's cover distills the whole series' tone into one haunting, elegiac moment — history reclaimed by nature, a warrior's world gone still.
