BLACK ROAD (2016)

"Meet Magnus the Black, neither clean nor sober, neither Christian nor Pagan, but a man true to his word. When a ranking official under his care is brutally murdered, he's prepared to hunt the killers to the frozen tip of Norway, religious war be damned. Northlanders creator BRIAN WOOD returns to the Viking genre along with artist GARRY BROWN (The Massive, Catwoman) and DAVE McCAIG (Batman, American Vampire) in this all-new series."

"The Viking North is an occupied war zone and Magnus the Black is the fixer for Papal Rome. "

"The secret on the Norsk coastline starts to reveal itself, and out come the wolves. Literally."

"Trapped in the middle of a frozen lake, Magnus and Julia's histories and past traumas come to the fore."

"END OF STORY ARC The daughter of Rome proves her worth. The pagan from Norsk slays a rival. Churches burn, the seas boil. "

"NEW STORY ARC BLACK ROAD RETURNS! Magnus stalks the mysterious Christian compound on the northern coast, and the full extent of Julia's treachery becomes known. Religious conversions are historically bloody affairs, but this one's looking especially bad."

"A rebel Vatican being established in Viking lands requires a few things: ready cash, a loyal army, and legitimacy. Magnus and Kitta's theft of precious religious relics should be enough to bring Oakenfort to the gates."

"The battle for the northern coast begins-a half-pagan warrior against the might of Christendom."

"A properly forged sword will never shatter, not even in the bitter cold."

"END OF STORY ARC A Pagan Death comes to the Holy North, and this chapter of Magnus The Black concludes. "
