Written by Brian Wood Art by Davide Gianfelice Cover by Massimo Carnevale In this first volume collecting NORTHLANDERS #1-8, DMZ writer Brian Wood stabs Viking lore in the face with a fresh take on what it means to be a warrior. Meet Sven, an exiled Viking prince who must return to the desolate lands of his birth to reclaim his vast inheritance upon the death of his father. See why Entertainment Weekly calls it "a well-reserched, richly realized world that illuminates politics and culture without getting bogged down in history-book stuff."

At the end of the grim and barbaric dark ages, one warrior culture reigns supreme in the wastelands of the frozen North: the Vikings. When Sven of Orkney - now relocated to the sophisticated city of Constantinople - learns of his father''s death, he returns to his home in the hope of inheriting a fortune. But what he discovers is treachery; his father murdered by his uncle Gorm, who has stolen Sven''s birthright. But is Sven still Viking enough to reclaim what is his by right? And will he be tough enough to face down not only Gorm, but marauding Saxons? The all-new series by Brian Wood (Demo) and Davide Gianfelice (Dylan Dog) is a bloody tale of murder, sex and war to bring out everyone''s inner Norseman!

When two Jedi are cut down in the very shadow of their temple of Coruscant, the killer''s identity is already known - the mysterious, Jedi-hating bounty hunter, Aurra Sing. Now two Jedi and a young trainee must travel across the galaxy to find Aurra before she spills any more Jedi blood.

Even before the shadow of the Phantom Menace fell on the galaxy, trouble could come in many forms. Thousands of worlds made up the Republic, and when conflict arose it was the duty of the Jedi Council to protect the innocent. But sometimes even the most diligent protectors are not appreciated.

Sidious unleashes his merciless apprentice, the death-dealing destroyer, Darth Maul, to eradicate his adversaries, as only a master of the dark side can.
