These tales illustrate the harsh life of the Viking invasion and occupation of the British Isles from the 8th to 11th centuries. Families are broken, lives are saved, and death is everywhere in these gritty tales from Northlanders #1-16, #18-19 and #41.
Set in Viking Russia in A.D. 1020, The Plague Widow sees a remote settlement rocked by a contagious outbreak. As the citizens shut out the outside world, they don't realize who they're shutting themselves in with. In The Siege of Paris, a foot solider gives a grunt's-eye view of the Viking assault of the city. And in Metal, an exiled blacksmith and young girl launch a violent crusade against those who wronged them. This new collection includes Northlanders #17, 21-28, 30-34 and 37-40.
In this epic from issues #37-41, a foot soldier called Mads gives us a grunt’s-eye view of the Siege of Paris, where hundreds defended against thousands, and political maneuvering was as important as the clash of the shield wall.
