    Thanks, everyone. I'm really overwhelmed by all the messages... hundreds on twitter alone.

    The cancellation hit me pretty hard at first, partly because I know I was doing my best work on it and have a seemingly endless supply of story ideas for it, but also because so much of my identity as a creator is tied into it, at least for me. But like I just posted to twitter, I'd rather my work was well-regarded than a huge commercial success, and I'm happy with fifty issues of work that so many of you have enjoyed.

    "The Icelandic Trilogy" is a great story to end on, too.

    Thanks again,

    To me Northlanders is the kind of thing that justifies the entire comics industry and I am very sad to see it going - there is no silver fucking lining here but at least we have some months more to enjoy this fantastic work.

    This is such a shame. Northlanders is spectacular storytelling, and the writing and art are top notch. And it's Vikings, for crying out loud! How are more people not buying this?

    Oh well. I re-read the stories in Blood in the Snow all the time, so at least I can continue to enjoy what there is of the series for a long time to come.

    Thank you, Brian. Between this and DMZ you've provided the comics-reading public with no shortage of profound and remarkable work these last few years.

    That's a bummer. Northlanders is a uniquely well done series, and I wish it could continue. That said, I'm thankful for the great addition to my bookshelves.

    Well i've had a day to think about it....

    And this still sucks the balls of hell!

    Just what is Vertigo for? I thought it was supposed to be for sharp, gutsy writing like Northlanders. And they cancel it! It makes no sense.

    Well i'm glad you´ll be able to finish with the Icelandic Trilogy. I have all the TPB's and have currently lent "Sven the Returned" to a friend who is starting out in comics. Her opinion? "Damn this is good!".

    Thanks for the great writing Brian...

    Thanks for writing it, Brian. I have collected this series from the start and loved everything about it.

    My greatest regret is not writing the one-shot where Gorm, Black Karl, Gunborg, and whatever other Northlanders villains meet in Valhalla.

    Shoot, I was rereading some yesterday. Sorry to hear this.

    Even 'sharp gutsy writing' has to sell enough copies and trades to make the cut.

    This is a bummer... I've had this on my pull-list at my LCS for a long time. Definitely going to miss it.

    Balls. I've been with this since #1 too. I'll second the thanks to Brian for writing it. I'll miss it when it's gone.

    I'm sad to see this go, but let's rejoice in what we've got and the knowledge that at least mr Wood isn't quitting comics...

    That I could not bear...

    I'm a vocal defender of Brian's work on another forum I frequent, where a stupid bomb seems to have hit when it comes to Brian's work.
    I keep telling them they're experiencing severe bouts of insanity...
    Most of the times they're nice, though.

    (more to myself than anyone else)

    If you're going to wait for the trade, BUY IT WHEN IT COMES OUT.

    Sorry to hear it Brian.

    Damn, Northlanders was pretty much Brian's best work. A shame it has to go this way.

    I'll miss it when it's gone and there were places still to go, but 50 issues is a very nice run for something different.

    Nooooo... Dammit my retailer is starting to hate me, as I typically don't replace what gets cancelled.

    Sorry to hear about this, but this frees up time to do something else just as wonderful, no?

    .....and yet ANOTHER thing on my pull list is cancelled. :/

    Thanks for some great stories, Brian.

    Well that friggen blows.

    Yes, most certainly, thank you Brian. It has been a great run!

    Sorry to hear about this, I've been picking up the singles since the start, missing only two so far, I think. Great work from all concerned.
