PT Mais uma aventura muito bem conseguida!
Parece que o infortúnio não larga Thorgal, e desta vez ele volta a ver-se numa situação de vida ou morte, uma vez mais com a sua família envolvida — embora o foco recaia sobretudo sobre ele.
Gostei bastante desta história, mas confesso que não fiquei totalmente satisfeito com o destino dado às duas personagens introduzidas no volume anterior, que entretanto se tornaram companheiros de viagem. Percebo que o autor talvez não tivesse outros planos para elas, mas ainda assim, pareceu-me que mereciam um desfecho mais digno.
Ainda assim, foi uma ótima leitura.

EN Another very well-executed adventure!
It seems misfortune just won’t let go of Thorgal, and once again he finds himself in a life-or-death situation — this time with his family involved once more, although the focus is mainly on him.
I really enjoyed this story, but I must admit I wasn’t entirely happy with the fate given to the two characters introduced in the previous volume, who had become travelling companions. I understand the author probably had no further plans for them, but even so, I felt they deserved a better ending.
That said, it was still a great read.

Powtórka z rozrywki, bo i turniej już był i niewolnictwo i rozłąka, ale trzeba przyznać, że na chwilę wrócił duch starych Thorgali, więc w sumie fajnie

Poniekąd powtórka z rozrywki z tomu 9 "Łucznicy.

Ancora un nuovo esempio di come, rispettando tutti i canoni di un racconto fantasy, e muovendosi nel ristretto numero delle 48 pagine, Thorgal riesca ad essere interessante, a dare personaggi belli e una dinamica spettacolare alle storie. Pur nello standard ormai consolidato dell’eroe che non vorrebbe essere immischiato fra le faccende degli uomini, ma vi finisce suo malgrado.
Qui c’è un sovrano con un figlio orribile, che trama per liberarsene, ma è pur sempre il padre. Due fratelli che non possono vivere l’uno senza l’altra, una famiglia separata e l’ennesima opportunità per il protagonista di stupire non solo per doti belliche, ma soprattutto per la sua peculiare e riottosa saggezza.

Après un léger coup de moins bon dans le tome 26, on retrouve heureusement avec plaisir Thorgal et sa famille dans un épisode plus conforme à ce à quoi nous sommes habitués.
Un album qui renoue avec un thème des débuts : la cruauté des peuples "civilisés" souvent bien pire que celle des rudes vikings.

It totally reads•on•its•own but I've enjoyed and appreciated the series much more since I began to endure waiting to read->them->in->order. To refresh, there should be a previous<-tome paragraph boxed atop page one to announce the siblings who escaped Atlantis into the desert and into the slavery in which all the protagonists begin.
There's another archery contest for the best, who never loses unless...
Plenty of death ensues in multiple venues!
Rosinski is at his best
I commented about being a bit disappointed with his previous effort which I now feel that he saw the same and tightened up his stroke.

First album of the final 3 story arc by Van Hamme..
In his attempt to go back North, Thorgal and his family are captured as slaves and are sold to another tyrannical empire..
One of the riveting albums of the whole series .. Each page is so compelling and thrilling...
Lot of action, lot of suffering, lot of sadnes and a cliffhanger ending...

La verdad es que el pobre Thorgal no se libra de sus desgracias. Lectura correcta con un par de eventos interesantes que no quiero destripar. Creo que a estas alturas ya andamos un poco cansados de que todo lo malo del mundo le pase a este hombre y su familia. Claros síntomas de agotamiento en la serie, y aún así, de nivel bastante alto y aceptable.

Slightly anti-climactic beginning that derails the hopeful ending of the previous issue but the story that follows is amazing otherwise. Thorgal absolutely destroying everybody else when it comes to archery is always fun and this unapologetic cruelty the main characters experience serves the story well. The ending is also quite the cliffhanger, literally.

Pas le plus mémorable des tomes, surtout qu'on passe brusquement de la formule sci-fi du tome 26 au monde barbare dans ce tome-ci. Une seule nouveauté: on fait connaissance avec une civilisation sous l'Empire romain (dans le style d'Alix).

the english version in numbered 19 and its called "the barbarian". after the events of tome 18 the thorgal family and two other survivors are enslaved by a cruel empire. once again thorgal has to use cunning and his great skill to survive but things look pretty bad by the end...

Czy to ma być komiks dla dzieci? Sceny mordowania, wieszania i tortur niewolników. Rozważanie sprzedaży młodej niewolnicy do domu publicznego. Poniżanie jej przy innych okazjach, biczowanie i namawianie jej właściciela do gwałtu. Autorzy komiksów, opanujcie się!

(le roi blond j’aurais aimé une histoire plus longue dans son royaume, ils y sont esclaves dans le tome d’après mais j aurais aimé +, le tome d’après on dirait juste un roi méchant alors que là il avait l’air plus honorable, j’aurais aimé que ce soit plus développé)

Capturé par des marchands d'esclave, Thorgal doit aider un prince cruel à remporter un concours afin de libérer sa famille. La focalisation autour des talents d'archer du protagoniste nous permet d'apprécier cet album.

I enjoyed it a lot, the story was very well drawn and also well told. Same as all the other issues I read of Thorgal.

I am not a big fan of Rosinski's art, but this is really bad, even for his standards. It's sloppy and forced. It's a shame, because the story is very good and the art destroyed it.

Rarement le monde de Thorgal aura été aussi sans pitié.
April 6, 2018
You’ve got to feel sorry for Thorgal and family. Struggling with the violence and disruption of their northern home they decided to sail south in search of more peaceful and prosperous lands, but to date all they’ve found is selfishness, greed and danger. Having lost their ship they’ve attempted to cross a desert only to be taken as prisoners and sold as slaves in a community analogous to a Roman outpost. Thorgal is bought to be used in a trial for young officers who must hunt him and others down to show off their skill with a bow, giving Thorgal the opportunity to turn the tables on his pursuers. Sparing the life of the Governor’s son, Thorgal is granted a freedom of sorts, working for the Governor to teach others his skills with the bow, and reunited with his family, but to the people of this land he is considered the Barbarian.
Bleaker still, Thorgal’s group picked up two companions recently and they too have suffered at the hands of these so called civilised people, and their tragedy further underscores the dire situation that living under a tyrannical ruler presents. With little hope, and serving at the whim of someone who sees you and your family as little more than objects presents little opportunity for escape. However, while attempting to come to terms with their lot things are about to get a lot worse.
Van Hamme wields another challenging and enthralling script, not letting up for a moment on the pressures and problems presented to the group. Potentially, this could be the most difficult situation Thorgal has faced, infused with loss, pain and anguish all around. Despite everything. Thorgal remains stoic and determined, level-headed and calculating, finding opportunity when there appears to be none – the antithesis of the Barbarian. It may well be one of the worst jams he’s faced, but you can’t count him out yet.
For me these books have maintained a high standard from the outset, defying expectations and avoiding repetition, which means the reader has the genuine prospect of inventive, creative storytelling at every page, and where each new book has the potential to take you somewhere very different. A stand-out series.

Wéér een album dat als een herhaling van zetten voelt. Dit keer met ingrediënten uit 'De zwarte galei' en 'De boogschutters' in een ongeïnspireerde remix. Dit verhaal speelt zich af aan de Noordkust van Turkije ten tijde van het Byzantijnse rijk en staat weer 's bol van wreedheid. Het begint echt vermoeiend te worden hoe Van Hamme bijfiguren laat omkomen, maar Thorgal telkens als een wonder doet overleven. Feitelijk had Thorgal inmiddels al honderd keer dood moeten zijn - alleen in dit album al stapelen de onwaarschijnlijkheden zich in groten getale op. Ook Thorgals motto 'zolang er leven is, is er hoop' begint wel erg sleets te worden.
Rosiński's tekenwerk is nu zo slordig, dat het nauwelijks beter is dan dat van het allereerste Thorgalverhaal. Nee, deze serie is in een bloedeloze fase beland en duidelijk over zijn hoogtepunt heen...

W "Barbarzyńcy" ogrzewa się kotlety: Thorgal zmuszony do udziału w turnieju m.in. łuczniczym z kimś kogo nie darzy sympatią. Taka próba zrobienia jeszcze raz tego samego, w dodatku dobitnie pokazuje, że nie było pomysłu co zrobić z bohaterami wprowadzonymi w poprzednim albumie.
Aż przykro patrzeć jak wymęczone są niektóre plansze.

Det här var en av de första fantasy serierna jag läste som blandade in science fiction i allt det magiska. Det var en ögonöppnande upplevelse som gjort det här en mycket minnesvärd serie! Har den åldrats? Absolut, men jag kan inte låta bli att älska den trots detta.

Po raz kolejny niewola i turniej łuczniczy. Powtórka z rozrywki z wcześniejszych tomów Thorgala chyba z braku pomysłów.
