EW loves “Northlanders”

Brian Wood’s Viking epic “Northlanders” is praised by Entertainment Weekly:

Chalk up another creative victory for writer Wood (DMZ), who’s quickly emerging as one the medium’s premier scribes. Like his best work, Northlanders takes you into a well-researched, richly realized world that illuminates politics and culture without getting bogged down in history-book stuff.

Greg and I talked about how much we liked this book in a recent podcast, so I’m glad to see Entertainment Weekly coat-tailing on us again. (Just kidding, I love you Entertainment Weekly.)

Greg says: “It’s a real interesting story, it’s got some ‘Hamlet’ overtones to it. … Since ‘DMZ’ and Brian Wood’s other works, the things he did at AiT-Planet Lar, I’m on board with anything he does.”
