Summary: THIS IS NOT THOR
Review: 1000 years ago, the God Balder was killed fighting against the goddess Freya. Now he has been resurrected as the mortal named Chaos, living in the city of Fayon. He is suffering from amnesia and is therefore ignorant of his past and of the forces that are hunting him. He is spending his time being the mentor of the princess of the city, a reckless but potentially powerful cleric named Iris Irine. Freya is seeking the lands with her valkyries in order to destroy him. The valkyrie in charge of the hunt is Sara Irine, who just happens to have a personal grievance against Fayon. Chaos' only hope is if Fenris Fenrir, the reincarnated wolf god can find him before Freya and jog his memory. Chaos and Iris are also befriended by a Lara Croft treasure hunter type named Lidia who is really just a common thief who tags along with them looking for opportunities to steal any magic item she can. There is also the mysterious Skurai, an cursed outlaw whose living sword promises to free him from his bondage if he kills a certain someone in Fayon. This is a great manga. All of the characters are well drawn and the story smacks of an epic. It's a great setup for volume 2 in which this panorama of characters are going to come into conflict once they all reach the city.

Summary: Look into this series if your looking for a good read
Review: A great series with an engaging story and lots of action. My only gripe is that the translator (Richard Knaak) did a mediocre job of translating some text and phrases in certain scenes that just don't fit. The "sound-fx" text also was pretty bad. I.E. Hop, hop, hop...what is that? Also, I remember reading an earlier preview from someone saying that this was quote "...an awesome manga..." technically it's a Korean comic in which they call it manwha in their language. Manga is comic for Japanese.

Summary: Entertaining
Review: I found this book quite entertaining, tho it only contains small portion of the whole stories. I bought it only to compare it from the game that I played (Ragnarok Online) and found some similarities in both of them. I would certainly bought the second one, once it come out. Good plot and characteristic.

Summary: nice read
Review: I really liked this manga although it wasn't published in true manga style.I had been playing ragnarok online for quite some time and so when the manga came out i just had to pick it up. After about the first few chapers i was hooked. I really really enjoyed how they incorperated the game by showing the statistics in the front. It was awesome comparing your characters from the game to the characters in the story. I think the best part about this manga is it norse mythology. Also if you have played the game two of the main characters are also the gameservers (online rpg) chaos and loki which was also really kool.
i highly reccommend this manga if your looking for someing to read. The story line great with some kool characters. Definitly in my top 20 list for best action/fantasy manga so read it at your local borders or where they sell manga 2 see if you like it. latas peace out

Summary: An...interesting take on some old myths...
Review: I'm not saying that this a bad series--far from it! This happens to be one of my favorites. But being the student of mythology that I am, I can't help but notice the differences between this series and the original myths. If you have read 'Terrible Master Urd' from the Oh My Goddess! series, then you have seen Fenris, the giant wolf of Norse legend. In the original story, he (Fenris) was chained in the far north by the gods for all eternity. But he broke free during the chaos of Ragnarok (the end of the world/the war of the gods and spirits) and swallowed the sun. This is a far cry from the beautiful young woman who goes into an old temple for a sword. Baldur was a handsome young god who was killed by Loki (the god of mischief), thus ensuring Loki's banishment from Asgard (the home of the gods). In retaliation Loki gathers together an army of frost giants and demons to attack Asgard, starting Ragnarok. But in this story, it is Baldur who attempted to overthrow the gods, not Loki. There are too many other differences to name, but they are not serious (actually, none of them really are very serious.) And they certainly won't detract from your enjoyment of this series. As a matter of fact, it is pretty nice to see another perspective on the legends surrounding Ragnarok. This is a wonderful series with a lot going for it, even if they do mess with the myths.

Summary: An excellent introduction to Korean comics by Tokyopop!
Review: Ragnarok 1, by Myung Jin Lee, is a Manwha (Korean Manga) which is absolutly amazing. Ragnarok (which means in Norse "the fall of the gods") follows the adventures of a wide range of beings who live in the land of Rune-Midgard which is based loosely on norse legend. Each character is from a completly different background but are tied together by a war between, gods, demons and man. Some of the more notable personalities are: Fenris Fenrir, a warlock who is trying to revive the fallen god Balder. The Valkyries of Valhalla: Sara Irine, Zenobia and their leader the goddess Freya. The swordsman Choas and Iris, a sorceress, both hailing from the town of Fayon. Lidia, a thief out to get her hands on anything valuble(acts as comic relief). The list goes on and on... All these characters and their different stories can seem somewhat overwhelming at first but at the end of the volume you will already be interested in all the characters who get intertwined in a great struggle for power. Story wise, Ragnarok is excellent. The Manwha starts out with a exciting plot and keeps you interested throughout the whole graphic novel, while providing a laughs at the right times.
The art is crisp and interesing with plenty of detail and excellent character designs.
Lastly, the translation is very good, but it's not quite perfect, one of Tokyopop's better efforts (not bad considering that this is their first korean to english translation). I read this book since it was the base for the Korean (eng vers) game "Ragnarok Online" and found why it would be popular enough to spawn a game. Overall this book is a great buy and I cannot wait for the next volume (I'm on volume 6 currently)!

Summary: Ragnarok 1
Review: Ragnarok is a manga based on Norse mythology, yet with a more futuristic style. In this we see well drawn and realistic characters, most laid out with very interesting armor and battle costumes.
The story basically follows a girl named Fenris Fenrir, who is on a quest to find Balder and bring about Ragnarok (the fall of the gods) much to the dislike of the gods themselves which leaves much room for battle between her and the god-sent valkries.
I found Fenris's cool composure to be very interesting for a character personality and equally enjoyed the humor shared between other characters such as Iris and Chaos.
There is quite a bit of violence, but aside from that and a little skimpy clothing, nothing much objectionable.
Both the storyline and drawing is superb, a definate must-have for all hard-core otaku.

Summary: A Great Title To Start Tokyopop Off!
Review: Ragnarok is a thrilling new manga that has just been released by tokyopop. The story is crisp and the art is fantastic!! It's drawings just blew my away. However, it does have its weaknesses(story can be a bit overwhelming at times), but doesn't most all manga do? The story starts out very well and makes you very excited(doesn't start out slow like some manga). And the author knows just when to pump up the action, and when to crack a few jokes in the right places. I really enjoyed the first volume of Ragnarok, and that is why I am recommending it to all of you out there who love manga (and I can't wait till the next volume comes out!)!!

Summary: Wizard needs food badly...
Review: Ragnarok is kinda-sorta based on the Korean MMORPG of the same name. This would certainly explain why the cast sounds just like the character line-up for a FF game... The magic user who is a princess, the capricious thief, the steely-eyed assassin, and of course the rugged hero who has the power to save the world from the ENCROACHING DARKNESS (tm)... To put it mildly, the story is pretty fluffy (Berserk this aint...) But it's still a fun read with some really slick art. If you're looking for a light RPG-esque comic fix then give Ragnarok a spin.
