\"nola-cv1.jpg\"<\/a>NORTHLANDERS #1
\nWritten by Brian Wood
\nArt by Davide Gianfelice
\nCover by Massimo Carnevale
\nVariant cover by Adam Kubert
\nChristian\/Islamic conflict. Technological revolution. Fear of the end of the world.
\nSound familiar? It should. But it\u2019s not the world of 2007\u2026it\u2019s the world of Europe, circa 1000 AD. The world of Brian Wood\u2019s brand-new monthly series, NORTHLANDERS.
\nFollowing the red-hot success of one of last year\u2019s most critically-acclaimed books, DMZ, NORTHLANDERS is a fresh take on Vikings. NORTHLANDERS tells the epic tale of Sven, an exiled Viking prince who\u2019s been living the decadent, high life in Constantinople \u2014 the 11th century\u2019s answer to Las Vegas \u2014 but now must return to the desolate lands of his birth in the frigid islands of the North Sea to reclaim his vast inheritance. Intending only to take his money and run, he finds more than he bargained for as his former family and friends are enslaved at the hands of Gorm, his ruthless uncle. What follows isnot only a bloody quest to free his people, but also a young man\u2019s struggle to discover where he belongs in a rapidly changing world\u2026and what awful sacrifices it will take to make a Prince into a King.
\nNORTHLANDERS has all the cool, modern sensibilities audiences have come to expect from Wood (DMZ, Demo, Supermarket) mixed with the bloody action of 300 and Gladiator. Joining Wood on this epic journey is outstanding newcomer artist Davide Gianfelice and acclaimed cover artist Massimo Carnevale (Y: THE LAST MAN).

\nHardcover
\nWritten by Mat Johnson
\nArt by Warren Pleece
\nCover by Stephen John Philips
\nWriter Mat Johnson (HELLBLAZER: PAPA MIDNITE), winner of the prestigious Hurston-Wright Legacy Award for fiction, constructs a fearless graphic novel that is both a page-turning mystery and a disturbing exploration of race and self-image in America, masterfully illustrated with rich period detail by Wareen Pleece (THE INVISIBLES, HELLBLAZER).
\nIn the early 20th Century, when lynchings were commonplace throughout the American South, a few courageous reporters from the North risked their lives to expose these atrocities. They were African-American men who, due to their light skin color, could \u201cpass\u201d among the white folks. They called this dangerous assignment going \u201cincognegro.\u201d
\nZane Pinchback, a reporter for the New York-based New Holland Herald barely escapes with his life after his latest \u201cincognegro\u201d story goes bad. But when he returns to the sanctuary of Harlem, he\u2019s sent to investigate the arrest of his own brother, charged with the brutal murder of a white woman in Mississippi.
\nWith a lynch mob already swarming, Zane must stay \u201cincognegro\u201d long enough to uncover the truth behind the murder in order to save his brother \u2014 and himself. He finds that the answers are buried beneath layers of shifting identities, forbidden passions and secrets that run far deeper than skin color.

And in the end, is it truly better to die free than to live life in captivity?
