Northlanders #21
The next NORTHLANDERS epic begins now! Set in Viking Russia in A.D.1020, "The Plague Widow" examines a year in the life of a remote settlement under siege by a contagious outbreak. The residents of this village are so focused on shutting the outside world out, they don't think about who they're shutting themselves in with. Mixing equal parts crime, history and survival fiction, this is the most brutal NORTHLANDERS story to date!

Yes! I've been trying to pimp the heck out of this book, but it seems Ron is doing a better job than I. This is great stuff.

I've been buying this book since issue one and its the first issue that I'm not buying. This series is written for trades. I'm trade waiting from now on.

@rockingeek I really haven't felt that way, especially since there have been quite a few 1 or two issue stories.

The Talksplode sold me, I'm going to give this arc a try. Honestly, the longevity of some titles is the reason I don't keep up with them. I don't have time to read all the old trades. I will take this opportunity however.

Great issue, thanks for the heads up Rusty. Very strong on both art & writing. I will definitely be getting the next issue.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Wade. This was an excellent issue. What I love about this series is the vast range of stories that can be told. From war stories to more human relation stories like this, nothing ever feels like a retread. I love Brain Wood's writing, and all of the artists have been top notch. Great stuff.
