Summary: Norse myth manga rocks!
Review: Ragnarok is one of the greatest mangas I ever have read! In Norse mythology, Ragnarok is the end of the world. This series is a great insight on Norse mythology. In it, Fenris (like Fenrir, an offspring of Loki in wolf form, that helped cause Ragnarok) is trying to find Baldur's sword. You also meet Chaos and Iris. Chaos is teaching Iris to be more powerful. Eventually (but not in vol. 1), Iris and Chaos meet Fenris, and try to prevent Ragnarok.

Summary: Norse myth manga rocks!
Review: This book is fairly interesting though slightly difficult to follow. Like many first books in a series, this one takes strides to introduce the main players, and still tell a compelling story. In this way it does a great job. This book introduces the reader to a fairly fantastical world filled with giant monster, evil sorcerers, great warriors, and the ever-present scheming villain.

The drawings are filled with action, and the details on the characters are wonderful. My only gripe is the pacing of some of the pages. This books sometimes goes on for a couple of pages without any dialog. This is great for the action scenes, but also makes it somewhat difficult to follow. Did the giant explosion happen before or after the sword swing? This isn't a huge problem, but I had to take it into account.

When its all said and done, though, I definitely plan on picking up the new additions as they come out.

Summary: Norse mythology done manga style!
Review: This was a great manga, although technically not a "manga" persay since it comes from Korea. Myung-Jin Lee did a fabulous job on the art. This takes place in a sci-fi version of the Norse legends, sort of like REIGN THE CONQUEROR is a sci-fi version of Greek mythology. The goddess Fenris has been reborn in the body of a human sorceress. She is being stalked by an ambitious Valkerie. Fenris runs into the might young warrior Chaos and his friend, the enchantress Iris. They bring her back to Iris' city of Fayon in the kingdom of Midgard. But Fenris soon learns she has ties to Iris. Plus, the scantily-clad thief Lidia hopes to gain the favor of Chaos, and joins the others on their quest. This series has alot of cool graphics and great design. Cooler than a Thor comic book any day!
