Northlanders Book 2: The Icelandic Saga by Wood, Brian. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781401265083.

FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE FIRST MILLENNIUM COME THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WOULD DEFINE THE NEXT. In A.D. 871, the Norsemen arrived on Iceland&;s shores. They sought land, freedom and a new way of life. Over the course of centuries, these humble settlers built farms, clans and towns until they shaped a new nation and its path through history. A daring man named Dag becomes the first man ever to turn his Viking boat west and sail to unknown shores in &;The Sea Road.&; Twenty years after being exiled, Sven of Orkney comes face to face with his own mythology as a group of mercenaries comes to hunt him down in &;Sven the Immortal.&; An old Icelandic fisherman discovers the body of a young girl embedded in the ice and then finds himself accused of her murder in &;The Girl in the Ice.&; And in the epic &;The Icelandic Trilogy,&; a small family with the name Hauksson builds a powerful crime family only to clash with the rising Church. Writer Brian Wood (DMZ, Rebels, The Massive), with a lineup of acclaimed artists including Fiona Staples (NORTH 40, Saga) and BECKY CLOONAN (GOTHAM ACADEMY), brings his modern, stylish sensibility a thousand years into the past. Collecting issues #20, #29, #35-36 and #42-50, NORTHLANDERS BOOK 2: THE ICELANDIC SAGA is the second of three volumes chronicling the entire NORTHLANDERS saga!
