What kind of other historical fiction would we want to see in comic form? I would like to see a mongol anthalogy. Just like the vikings they were spread out all over the known world. Their different khans ruled and integrated into wastly different cultures.
I would also like to see a black viking arc just for the fun of it, or maybe becasue realy like the song.

[B][I]Ummm Nortlanders ended in April...[/I][/B]
My mistake, but the rest of the post still stands.
Most of history is pretty interesting if you look closely at it.
Check out various crusades and their successes/failures/atrocities.
A good story about the opium wars would be hilarious - if you don't know the story check it out

I would also recommand the movie. It's mediocre, but i found it fascinating.

Well Wood might still continue Northlanders or rather another viking based comic with another publisher.
He hinted something like that in one interview.
I'd pick up the HC of [i]The Crusades[/i] from Humanoids. Really great Euro series set during the Crusades.

Dunno how good this is or will be, but IDW's got a Genghis Kham book coming up in February [url]http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Battles-Genghis-Daryl-Gregory/dp/1613772831/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356221028&sr=8-1&keywords=secret+battles+of+genghis+khan[/url]

I wish it would be about some other mongol. I watched his bio twice trough movies.
I probably check out that Crusades thing when i am finished with Northlanders.
Something with Romans in would be good. Romans are awesome! (IMO)
If there are already any good comics with Romans in let me know ;)
US Civil War
Have we had a real kickass pirate epic?
Set in Carribbean or North Africa

Jamie Delano's [i]Rawbone[/i] from Avatar fits the pirate bill quite nicely.
Ian Edgington and Steve Yeowell's [i]The Red Seas[/i] from [i]2000AD[/i] plays it a bit more fun with lots of occult stuff going on, but it's a good pirate book,t oo.
Loveless was a Western about the time of the Civil War.
As for stories in the civil war, there is probably too much research of that time to leave much open.
For Historical Fiction "Unknown Soldier" was not bad.
The europeans should have some pirate comics though don't know how good they are.
thanks,guys.
I read and loved Loveless
Will look into the pirate recs!
haven't read Northlanders yet. should i?
