Written by Cavan Scott | Art by Staz Johnson | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp

In the interests of full disclosure I have never actually watched the Vikings TV show on which this is based, though not because I never thought it looked interesting. With so many good shows on at the moment, it just didn’t make the cut. I approached this comic as a potential way of getting me interested enough to make time for the show, which is presumably the point of the book existing in the first place. No complaints with the chosen creative team, Cavan Scott especially having a good pedigree in adapting television and genre properties to the page. Staz Johnson has a long list of Marvel and DC credits among many others, so is similarly a solid choice as artist, and Richard Elson his co-artist has a decent track record also.

So what exactly is Vikings?...
