Northlanders

In Northlanders (2009–2012), Panini Deutschland collected Brian Wood's acclaimed Viking saga across seven issues, bringing the brutal and intimate historical epic to German readers. The series, originally published by Vertigo, spans centuries of Norse life through standalone story arcs, written by Wood with art from a rotating roster of talents including Davide Gianfelice. It stands out for its grounded, character-driven take on the Viking age, avoiding fantasy tropes to explore themes of survival, honor, and cultural clash.
