Viking #3

Written by Ivan Brandon
Art by Nic Klein

While this issue is not as good as the previous one, it does do a lot more to move the story forward, and set up what I assume is going to be the main purpose of this title.

Finn and Egil get pretty drunk in this issue, win a brawl, and hook up with Orm, and set out on a robbery that will link their story with the king and princess we've been seeing since the first issue. There's also some stuff with the king's servants.

This is a slow-moving book, and I sometimes find it difficult to follow some of the action, but it is a beautiful book, and I'm buying it more for the art than the story (which is rare with me). I especially like the drinking scene, where the two drunker guys take on an aura.
