When roaming warriors Atlas and Axis return home to find that their village has been destroyed by Viking raiders, they set off on a perilous journey across land and sea to save their friends!

I enjoyed it! This is just the beginning of the story, but with striking art and a quest with lots of twists and turns along the way, I'm anxious to see where it goes from here. Read Full Review

Atlas & Axis #1 is not going to be the first item you grab from your local shop this week but you totally should nab yourself a copy!

Worth a look if you got kids; worth a look if you want something fun but not all that intellectually stimulating. Read Full Review
