o A new exciting graphic novel from the author of The Wizard King Trilogy!
Joining Corrie on his adventure is artist Matt Wendt, a star in the making. His style and designs are evocative of Stan Sakais Usagi Yojimbo, trading feudal Japan for a Scandinavian countryside. Each of the main characters have their own distinct look and personality, while even the background critters are expressive. While both the writing and art are strong, Wendts cartoony style occasionally downplays the deadly serious tone of the story. As such, the subject matter and violence may be too intense for younger readers, especially those who take issue with seeing furry creatures eviscerate one another. The only real levity or humor comes at the expense of the portly Gorm, whose gut is as big as his heart, if not more so. As a standalone adventure,Sons of Ashgard: Ill Met in Elmgardis a solid OGN for audiences young and old but also proves to be a strong start to what will hopefully be a long-running series.
