Followed by a powerful enemy from his own dimension, fearsome warrior the Mongrel King must protect himself and the new friend he's made-and find his way back home.
From the Eisner Award-winning team of Jeff Lemire, Mike Deodato Jr., and Frank Martin comes this urban warrior fantasy series!
Mike Deodato Jr is a master at visual storytelling. He takes the story Lemire is telling and elevates everything about it with visuals that are brutal, beautiful and full of emotion. An amazing looking book from start to finish. Read Full Review
A spellbinding example of the brilliance of great artwork in the comic's genre, Berserker Unbound provides the sort of catharsis that only carving apart your enemies with a great big bloody sword can provide. A remarkable display of artwork by Deodato provides the reader with not only an entertaining read, but for those who love roleplaying or writing fantasy fiction, pages and pages of inspiration.

More, please? This was an absolutely delightful book. It had a good sense of pacing about it that almost had you believing it would run for twice as long and explore more things. But it has all the makings of a short film style piece that gets to the point but lingers enough to have meaning. Lemire's script works really well as the narration fills in some of the blanks but he lets Deodato's artwork do the majority of the talking here. It's an engaging and beautiful work and if this is all there is then the team should be really proud of it and I envy those that get to make the discovery of it in the years to come as they'll be blown away by how beautiful it is.

Beautifully illustrated and colored while depressingly written, "Berserker Unbound" is not for the faint of heart. Read Full Review
A simple story beautifully executed, Berserker Unbound tells a gripping tale of loss, acceptance and wordless camaraderie, and as such comes highly recommended. Read Full Review
Berserker Unbound #4 delivers a series of climactic moments"often delivered in attention-demanding splash panels"that are all entirely unearned by the story preceding them. Read Full Review
A beautiful end to a stunningly drawn, and masterfully written mini-series. Lemire and Deodato Jr. have created a wonderful piece of character work that is something of a fish out of water in the American comic book industry (rather like Berserker is in the comic). This could easily fit into European comics.
I loved this story, and hope that more is to come.
It was a good book, but I expected a lot more..
That's it? Man, what a disappointing series. There was nothing out of the ordinary here. The twist was that this is an absolute on the rails barbarian fish out of water story. No new ground tread at all. The art was good, but wasted on the weak, derivative story.
This was like a Trust Fund White Boy Reggae Cover Band - technically proficient but utterly lacking in originality or soul.
