Synopsis
Thorgal, Aaricia and Kriss de Valnor are finally approaching Mavaxatl, the city of the lost god. When Thorgal understands the real goal of their mission and Kriss' duplicity, he tries to escape - but Kriss is determined to complete the job at hand. An enthralling saga mixing Norse mythology, medieval legends and Atlantean fantasy.
Review
This took a little of getting into as it's number 6 in the series, and it doesn't offer any kind of backstory -so it's best to start at the first in the series. However, in saying that I'm glad I persevered. The story resonates at a mythic level and has the feeling of an old Larry Buster Crabbe "Flash Gordon" as it's got a charm to it that's difficult to forget. The artwork is quite stylised and really helps move the story along and also manages to handle the more wordy scenes without losing any of the momentum -which is really hard to do!
I'd like to read more of Thorgal -especially from the beginning!!
