Everything's gone to sh*t. But what else is new for a barbarian cursed to do good, who has to follow the commands of a bloodthirsty axe? It's just that today's a little worse. With Owen's back against the wall, and his enemies eager to chop him to bits, things are looking especially grim as the first arc of BARBARIC comes to a close.

Loved it, start to finish! I love the colors, but the artistic style still isn't a favorite. The characters, though, are great. Axe remains my favorite thing ever, but Owen and Soren have also become characters that I'm invested in. I cannot wait to get into the next chapter of this series and see what they do with vampires!
