The Story: With their village destroyed and their husbands butchered, three women, treasure in tow, run for their lives.
What’s Good: Brian Wood continues to show what can be done with a Viking comic. Make no mistake, this is a clearly feminist text [...]

The third time’s a charm is what some say. Sometimes you just strike out, is what I say. After reading through the first two issues of Northlanders, I was ready to give up on the series. It’s full of unlikeable characters, awful dialogue, and a plot [...]

Northlanders is everything DMZ is not. Where as DMZ issues are, for the most part, self-contained stories, Northlanders stories are decompressed and pointless.

I enjoyed DMZ so much that I decided to check out another Brian Wood offering, Northlanders #1. It sounded diverse enough: a Nordic tale of a man named Sven, coming home to his land in the north to reclaim the wealth and lands stolen from him by his ruthless [...]

DMZ Volume 4: Friendly Fire (TPB) – Review
By Brian Wood (writer), Riccardo Burchielli, Nathan Fox, Viktor Kalvachev, Kristian Donaldson (art), Jeremy Cox (colors)
To sum things up, Friendly Fire is Brian Wood’s version of Rashomon. We have a horrific event taking place where hundreds of silent protestors in the DMZ are killed in a bloody massacre by US forces. And while it’s hard [...]
