Northlanders #9

Brian Wood and Dean Ormston's Viking saga turns its gaze to the infamous holy island in this opening chapter of "Lindisfarne." Massimo Carnevale's cover is quietly gripping: a young boy crouches on stone floors, clutching a sword in both hands, while the looming silhouettes of armed figures cast long shadows toward him from below — a tableau of desperate, cornered courage. Vertigo's mature-readers series continues to find the human weight within the Viking Age, and this two-part arc promises an intimate, unsettling perspective on one of history's most storied confrontations.
