The second book of Lars Brown’s North World has just come out and it is very good. I have been reading this strip on the web since just after it started. On the web I felt the current story line dragged a bit, though it has picked up solidly as the story wrapped up, in the books I think the pacing works much better. The story is a modern day D&D type story with the world largely as it is, but with fantastic monsters and perils lurking in dark places. Conrad, our hero, is a young adventurer who has returned to his hometown to try to prevent a demon from taking over the town. It doesn’t go quite as he planned as family and old friends trip up his investigation and he begins to question him chosen life. Good heroic fantasy with several surprise twists and some good character development. I highly recommend picking up both books, and at the moment Lars is including a small sketch when you order from him. You can get the books here and check out the webcomic here.
