A review by hisabelbide
Berserk Deluxe Volume 11 by Kentaro Miura

5.0

When the plot is at its most transitory, Miura's attention to detail ensures even though Guts is on the run and sidelined by lots of political mechanics, the art remains at its most detailed, the writing still ensuring blocks of thematic and symbolic coherence are being dropped, character being built. A ship battle has me wondering what Miura doing Master and Commander would read like, General Zodd's moment of glory in Vol. 32 still bringing surprises. Nothing is disposable in Berserk - it is not just Guts' story, it's the whole world of Berserk that Miura's philosophy was entertaining, not just an individual's psychology but the orders of power and violence transcending the individual flesh.
