Picked up the first two issues from my LCS Sunday but haven't read them yet. Apparently they are issuing weekly.

I’ve read issues 1-3 and thought it was great. Well written, beautifully illustrated. Waiting for remaining issues to arrive.

As I posted elsewhere, it’s a shame that these books may never be collected. Surely that won’t hold up for much longer?

This is a great looking book and was highly anticipated by myself.... but I really didn't really care for the story much. There was probably some artistic allegory that went over my head because I'm not really sure what I was reading. :lol:

Other Bad Idea releases have been way better IMO.

Received issues 2-5, but not issue 1 yet…would it be madness to start reading from issue #2? :hm:

As mad as a box of frogs! :lol:

I'm in the same situation too, so far have #2-5 but not #1. Apart from a Hank Howard B-side in #2 that has already been released, i've entertained myself with the B-sides until #1 comes.

Finally read this series. It’s a fairly heavy but enjoyable story from Dysart. Lots of characters to keep track of and plenty of action to keep the story entertaining.

Bit of a weird ending though, pretty non conclusive :hm: Is there more to the story or is the end up to the imagination of the reader? For the cover price I would have liked something more specific.

4/5 - good art and story, recommend you pick it up and explain the ending to me :P

My interpretation of the series ended up being very similar to my impression of that recent movie The Northman. I think Odinns Eye was more or less just a visual representation of the characters beliefs in their own mythology, but none of it was real magic or supernatural at all at any point. It’s been a while since I read it though, so I can’t quite recall the details I picked out of it that lead me to think that way about it.

Yeah possibly. For the price of the 5 books I’d have liked a bit less inconclusiveness though :? It was an enjoyable journey nonetheless, I’ll need to re- read it at some point in the future.

You should probably know better than to expect Josh Dysart to spoon-feed a concept to you in his stories. :lol:
