Vinland Saga Deluxe 8 Makoto Yukimura 9781646519859

The struggle for leadership of the Jomsvikings surges toward a gruesome climax that represents the most arduous test Thorfinn has faced since he foreswore the life of a warrior. When all is blood and tumult, how can peace be found? The violent and complex action epic that inspired the hit anime returns, in premium, 3-in-1, collector's hardcovers! Includes volumes 22-24 of the Japanese edition of Vinland Saga and new bonus content. Floki has dug in, depending on the fortifications of Jomsborg to protect his grandson Baldr from the rebels. But, without and within, the tide turns against the aging master of manipulation. Enraged by the assassination of rebel leader Vagn, the battle-mad Thorkell-Floki's erstwhile ally-has taken the field against Baldr, and the boy himself has been taken hostage by Sigurd, who has opened the gate and offered the boy up to the invaders. Now Gudrid is caught between her desire to keep adventuring with Thorfinn and the guilt she feels for her part in Sigurd's fate. Meanwhile, the vicious, dizzying duel between Thorfinn and Garm rages on the rooftops... This premium, hardcover edition presents the acclaimed action epic in hardcover, at a bigger size than ever before (7 by 10 inches), wrapped in a dark green leather-patterned cover with logo stamping. This new edition features all the content of the original release, plus new and exclusive bonus illustrations, interviews, and behind-the-scenes details never before translated.
