Hammerfall, Vol. 1: While the Serpent Sleeps by Boris Talijancic, Sylvain Runberg
3.0
'Hammerfall 1. While the Serpent Sleeps' by Sylvain Runberg with art by Boris Talijancic is a graphic novel about Vikings and Normans and captivity.
Harald has a good life. He is the village leader's son and he is about to get married to Lina. While the festivities are going on, the village is attacked and everyone is either killed or taken captive by Bjorn the Beautiful. Harald watches helplessly as Lina is taken by Bjorn. All he can do now is bide his time and wait for a chance to free them both.
I liked the idea of this graphic novel. The art was good, but confusing. I had a hard time telling the male characters apart. I also wished there had been a little more exposition about the scene at the very beginning. I liked the story, but felt like it could have been a bit stronger.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
