Jormungand vol. 1 Story and Art by Keitaro Takahashi
Koko, a weapon’s
merchant, hires former child soldier Jonah as part of her crew. Many adventures
await for the pair as well as the rest of Koko’s crew. An adrenaline-pumping
journey in which gunshots and explosions are abounded begins!
Serialized in Monthly Sunday Gene-X, Jormungand is brimming
to the seams with action. However even those who enjoy titles in a similar vein
of Hollywood action titles will not be pleased. The reader is given little
reason to care for these characters who seem perfectly fine (or in some cases
glee in) killing. Thus far the majority of the cast seems underdeveloped.
The result is a title in which the explosions have no
meaning. There’s literally zero tension and the reader has zero reason to care
whether the characters live or die. Jormungand has one bright side however and
that is in the slick artwork and action scenes which for now is enough to keep
me reading.
Jormungand is available in print format from Viz Media.
