Berserk, Vol. 8

Wrote a review for

A break from all the previous action

It’s all about royal court intrigues, government stuff, useless dreams and personal things. Guts finally reflects on what he’s doing with his life and what he wants.

Overall it’s pretty slow with a lot of talking or thinking and hints at some big, important events, like a quiet before the storm. The ending is great once again!

Looking forward to the eclipse, I guess.

Berserk, Vol. 7

Wrote a review for

Epic battles and a bit more of Casca’s past

We finally learn some parts about Griffith’s past and see what he’s gone through. Again he talks about his dream but we still don’t know what that is.

Also here’s a lot of action! Awesome episode where Guts and Casca fight together, giant enemies in scary-looking armour with large, super dangerous weapons. And, of course, Guts being a super cool swordsman! (he killed just too many enemies in one fight)

And I can’t not talk about the art. Night forest panels in black and white are so unusual and nice! And there’s a shot with some maps on a table as a part of the environment and even they’re extremely detailed when they don’t have to be. And here you can really appreciate the amount of different things like armour—most of the armour pieces are different between each other and there are a lot of shots with many armoured soldiers. The art is just getting better, it’s amazing!

And the ending is really cool. I have to read the next volume immediately!

The Witcher, Vol. 5: Fading Memories

Wrote a review for

Geralt looking for a job

Art style here is simpler than in other Witcher comics but it's good enough. And there are some interesting, unusual features like some events in the past are mixed in with the present and other characters narrating on top of the main events.

Geralt thinks about life and is a bit angrier than usual. And there’s a nice detective episode. Overall not a lot happens here, it's more about atmosphere and looking for a purpose in life.

So it’s a good one but not as good as most other volumes.
