Really interesting seeing Guts with his first interaction with a supernatural enemy in Nosferatu Zodd. Compare that to the first couple volumes of Berserk where he's fighting demon dude and Griffith is part of some kind of magical cadre. There's a hell of a journey to be had for sure!

Lets talk about the details, i have never seen so much details, in most of the panels, in any comic book or manga before this one.
I mean gantz had it's moments.
But the amount of detailed panels here is overwhelming.
I laughed so hard at the naked water fun scene, and it kind of convinced me that Griffith is a guy!
I am convinced since guts didn't shout "oh my god, you are a girl, you got a ...."
Nosferatu zodd fight was epic, they got beaten badly, and there was no way for them to win, not at this level, and then Nosferatu decides its time to bail with a Prophecy!!!
I know eventually Griffith will be a god, but how he has to give up something!
I am terrified at the thought, that he might give up the band of the hawk, to become a god that would be disgusting and vile!
But oh well only time will tell.
Till then i am enjoying the ride
