Northlanders: Sven the Returned written by Brian Wood, illustrated by Davide Gianfelice, colors Dave McCaig, letters Travis Lanham
Collecting the first arc of Brian Wood’s most recent ongoing series. About, well, Vikings. In this case the story of Sven, a chieftan’s son working as a soldier in Constantinople as one of the Varangian. Sven learns that his father has died and his lands taken over by his uncle. So Sven decides to head back to the home he abandoned for his inheritance. Or at least the parts that clink and are easily portable…
Wood’s story reads like a violent gangster story really. Or maybe a adaption of a never filmed Kurosawa adaptation of a forgotten noir piece. Dark and brooding and full of blood and vengeance. All set in ink by the skilled Gianfelice and McCaig…
Plus its a fat 8-issue tpb that only runs 10 bucks. Thats a damned good deal…

This has the benefit of keeping everyone in the group (something we couldn’t do with just Burning Wheel) and giving Adam more time to prepare for his first sandbox game.
Since Adam didn’t want to run both games, I’ll be taking over D&D after we’re done with the Keep. I’m very excited! I haven’t run D&D for years because I grew tired of the massive preparation time that third edition carried with it. 4e fixes that problem so I was more than happy to put on my cape and step back into the role of DM.
