Continue readingBerserk
A dark fantasy about a former mercenary who wields a giant sword and travels the lands to take revenge against the monsters that took everything away from him.
I like Berserk. I like the story despite themes of sexual violence. And this is mostly because Kentaro Miura is a phenomenal artist. There is more detail and care put into a single panel by Miura than an entire volume of some artists. That’s why I’m completely over all the complaints people have about the long delays between new chapters for this book. It takes Miura a long time to draw out the thousands of ink lines that detail everything on the page. The internet loves to shit on Berserk but maybe they should take a moment to recognize how good the art is instead.
Now available in deluxe editions from Dark Horse Comics.
