Sword Daughter

Did anyone else pick up the first issue? I had been looking forward to this since it was announced and I wasn't disappointed! Granted I may be a little biased; I was a big fan of Wood's previous Viking stories. Black Road was good and Northlanders is what got me seriously interested in comics after previously only reading superhero stuff.

I really appreciated how this comic was put together. The nicer cover and the extended page count made it a more leisurely read. Most of the issue is setup for the plot, but the visuals were engrossing enough that I didn't mind.

More later.

I shall report back when it arrives - i did enjoy the bits of northlanders i read in trade so im sure this will be good too.

Is it an ongoing? Is it only first issue thats 28 pages or is it every issue? I couldnt find out exactly what it is (i didnt look to hard tho...)

[Zach]

As far as I know it's an ongoing and every issue will have the extended page count. Once I get home I'll try to find a link to confirm.

Decent first issue. If you like Black Road or Northlanders then you’ll like this. Artwork and pacing here reminds of a webcomic. I’m turned off by the pricing here though at $5, though it does have an extended page count: 27 pages story here but not a long read. First collection appears to be a 96 page hardcover out in October and priced at $20 which is extremely inflated.
