Berserker Unbound comic by Jeff Lemire, and Mike Deodato Jr

[Jason Aiken]

Regular Cover to #1:



The premise seems to be that a barbarian travels to our time/world. Damn can Deodato illustrate some good action. I'll miss him on Savage Avengers, but it's good to know he's moving on to another barbaric comic.

Mike Mignola variant cover:

"To undo the spell of living stone cast upon his family..."

This looks good, though. I'm loving the artwork. This guy is clearly in the Conan and He-Man mold.

Man, how strong must this guy be to carry giant-sized weapons on his back?

Just read #1. Shit...his family wasn't turned to stone... This was a great book, a bloody blend of Conan, He-man, and grimdark. Him saying "fucker" felt out of place but other than that no complaints here. Deodato's art is on fire here.

I found the swearing to be cringy as "fuck". Otherwise pretty good so far.

Just read the remaining 3 issues boy was this a letdown storywise. Way too much talking and taking him out of the fantasy setting, while it was the point of the comic, was just foolish. I heard good things about Lemire's writing but this read like a concept he didn't work out fully or dusted off to capitalize on Deodato's work on Conan in Savage Avengers.

Hopefully if they do more it's going to be all fantasy elements and not a lot of talking because the action scenes in the first and last issue were quite good.

I like the talking, it develops the characters, and makes you care about them. Don't mind the slow pace. Kind of refreshing actually.

I like the comic but then...just ends and there is no secuele or anything and that makes me feel empty.
