(W) Brian Wood (A) Leandro Fernandez & Various (CA) Massimo Carnevale. Set in Viking Russia in A.D. 1020* "The Plague Widow" sees a remote settlement rocked by a contagious outbreak. As the citizens shut out the outside world* they don't realize who they're shutting themselves in with. In "The Siege of Paris*" a foot solider gives a grunt's-eye view of the Viking assault of the city. And in "Metal*" an exiled blacksmith and young girl launch a violent crusade against those who wronged them. This new collection includes NORTHLANDERS #17* 21-28* 30-34 and 37-40.
