#807 Reviews: “Fiendish” and “Safer Places”

#806 “Berserk” v. 13 & 14: Is this scene necessary?
Berserk volume 12 left us at a crucial point: The Band of the Hawk were to be sacrificed so that Griffith can join the Godhand.

We re-present this episode in observance of Auster’s passing … Continue reading #167 “City of Glass”: Adapting a Novel to Comics
#804 “Berserk” v. 11 & 12: Cartoonish violence, epic horror
Kentaro Miura’s Berserk can be upsetting, fascinating, offputting, incredible, and even sometimes a bit comedic, as Tim and Kumar have found over the past several months. All those qualities appear again in volumes 11 and 12, as the story of the extended flashback reaches its climax with Griffith’s horrific accession to the God Hand. Join … Continue reading #804 “Berserk” v. 11 & 12: Cartoonish violence, epic horror
