A review by jamesdavidward
Northlanders, Vol. 3: Blood in the Snow by Vasilis Lolos, Danijel Žeželj, Davide Gianfelice, Dean Ormston, Brian Wood

4.0

Takes the Sandman route of offering a volume of dense, interesting short stories rather than continually offering extended tales. It's laudable that Wood has chosen to write a series that relies on creating new characters for every storyline, and indeed, it's a major draw for it. However, there is also great satisfaction when he brings back Sven from the first volume in a tale set twenty years later.

The artist changes from story to story in this series, and this is particularly true of this volume. However, the art remains consistent enough that it doesn't read like a showcase book, but allows you to concentrate on the story, which is a decent approach.
