A Brian, do your fucking research. Oh, your women are going to Valhalla? Sons are inheriting their father's kingdoms? I think not. You fucking hack. B Brian, women are not just holes and tragedies. Feel free to include Northlanders: Book 1 ONE woman who is not sexy and brutalized. You fucking fuck. Or do you just copy out as many cliches as will fit into a word-bubble? Every single plot point makes no sense once examined. E Brian, your main character is an unlikable bastard. So why do so many characters fawn over him? That said, there are some good bits buried in the drek of Brian Wood's Issues. What ruling means, how far intelligence will take you, the relative importance and recognition of honor, identity politics. It's still an awful book that I would recommend to no one, but the art and some of the concepts if not their execution--the writing is excreble raise this from Northlanders: Book 1 star to two.

Northlanders: Book 1 of the problems with writing an unrelentingly grim, serious story is that it can become unintentionally goofy fast. If it's uneven, if you do anything to undermine that tone, if Northlanders: Book 1 psychology is shallow, it's easy Northlanders: Book 1 the whole structure to topple. In a more balanced story, even if the serious parts aren't working, you still have the humor, the human relationships, the twists of the plot to bear it up--but if the entirety hinges on one thing, you have to make sure you do that thing right. It One of the problems with writing an unrelentingly grim, serious story is that it can become unintentionally goofy fast. It's cool that you want to make things gritty by having the hero shot completely through the arm with an arrow, but when, in the next scene, he drinking from a stein with the bloody and bandaged arm without a hint of pain on his face, it's going to come off pretty silly. It always confuses me when an author wants to write a historical piece, but has no ability to make that other time come to life. All the characters here are modern personalities, and think along modern lines. All the dialogue is painfully modern, with no attempt to capture the archaic tone of the Viking Eddas. The main character refers several times to his 'girlfriend', he says 'I've been here all of five Northlanders: Book 1, as if that's how a man Northlanders: Book 1 conceptualize time before the invention of Northlanders: Book 1 pocketwatch though it was worse when Vaughan made the same mistake with lions Northlanders: Book 1, and another soldier gives us the Whedon-worthy line 'Do I need to remind yeh this is an Northlanders: Book 1 Like with pointy swords and people dying and shit? If it is a parody, it's a failed one. I didn't love the art, either, since all the characters Northlanders: Book 1 to be grimacing and screaming and squinting through every bit of dialogue, their faces covered in Liefeld lines. In every battle scene and there are plenty our main character poses with his sword like a thug on the cover of a rap album. The whole style was just so desperately 'edgy' that it was hard not to laugh. Then there's the depiction of gender and sex in the book, which isn't doing anything to help the common conception that comics are Northlanders: Book 1. Every female character who isn't an old Northlanders: Book 1 is young and hot and ends up writhing around naked with the main character-- sometimes just literally rolling around nude, delivering lines. Unfortunately, we don't get an equal amount of cheesecake from the Northlanders: Book 1, who are all brutish and craggy and scowling. The story definitely doesn't pass the Bechdel Testbut I think the whole problem is well summed-up by a single scene. Our main character is hanging out with his aforementioned medieval girlfriend, and he mentions that 'she had other men', at which point we see her hanging out with an older man at a party, laughing and having a drink. He then continues 'I had other women' and we get a scene of Northlanders: Book 1 banging a hot young thing with her boobs hanging out. Clearly, whores sleep with old dudes for money, while cool guys do hot babes all the time like it ain't no thang. Now the main character tells us that he loved her, and some of the other women, too, but that's part of another problem. I didn't realize until after reading this that it was by Brian Wood, author of DMZ, but this book has many of the same problems : a lot of the story is told to us through internal narration of the main character. I don't understand why an author would choose to write for comics medium, and then proceed to unload his story in a long, wordy narration. If you're going to work in Northlanders: Book 1 visual medium, then remember that the images are there to tell half the story or more! You don't have to sit back and explain everything to us, because we can see it. Northlanders: Book 1 there's a picture of a guy hitting his thumb with a hammer, don't give us a little thought box where he says 'then I hit my thumb with a hammer, it hurt a lot'. Again and again, we get pictures and dialogue that are telling us the exact same thing, which means this story is not taking advantage of what comics are capable of. More than that, all the conflicts and emotional relationships are explained to us, which drove me nuts. If you show the main character sleeping with a girl he cares nothing about, knowing what a risk it was for her to come, but casually ruining her life by doing so anyways, then killing her because she has been disfigured and lost hope, it's completely redundant to have him sit and tell the reader 'I was an asshole for treating her like I did'. Yeah, we know. We're human, we comprehend relationships and emotions. We don't need everything spelled out for us, and some of us even like a little subtlety, now and again. But perhaps worse than that is when the main character's internal narrative tells us things that we never saw in the text. Like when he talks about the various ways in which he grew to love some of the hot naked women who always seem to hang around him. Since we never actually witnessed those relationships developing in scenes of meaningful interaction, telling us that it Northlanders: Book 1 a deep relationship after the fact isn't going to suddenly change our perception. Ah well, I'm sure some day I'll find an up-and-coming author of the new generation who is great at writing comics, but between this and DMZI'm very unimpressed with Wood as a storyteller--and kinda as a human being.
