Synopses & Reviews
Vikings just want to have fun. Of course, their idea of fun involves sharp bladed weapons and lots of blood. So how can a great, big, powerful lad like Modi have fun? He's suffering under a curse and if he ever touches a weapon he will lose his soul. Who could blame the Gods for not expecting Modi would have the courage and the power to stand against them?
A fantastic saga, masterfully told by Michael Avon Oeming (Powers, Bastard Samurai) and Mark Obie Wheatley (Breathtaker, Mars, Radical Dreamer).
Review
"The story has a clever touch...but there are some problems. The storytelling can be clunky, the dialogue weirdly anachronistic ('The Gods are screwing us!') and Modi has a limited expressive range: either mute brooding or apoplectic rage. Although Oeming's art is dominated by dull browns and earth tones, it is nonetheless dynamic and evocatively moody." Publishers Weekly
Review
"If you enjoy Mike Oeming's art on Powers, then you definitely won't be disappointed with this book. Oeming's art here is fun and energetic....My only problem with this book is that the writing at times seems kind of clunky and unnecessary....All in all, though, this is a fun read and well worth your time. (7 out of 10)" Evan Cantrell, RevolutionSF.com
Review
"I liked this series a lot in black and white. The samples I've seen of it in colour tell me Oeming's art will be taken to a whole new level. If you like Powers or Bastard Samurai and haven't sampled Hammer of the Gods, this is the perfect time for you to jump in and enjoy." Alan David Doane, ComicBookGalaxy.com
