5.0 out of 5 stars Ragnarok #2 kicks butt!, July 30, 2002

This review is from: Ragnarok # 2 (Paperback)

The second manwa in the series is just as good if not better than the first. The art style is amazing. Alright enough about how great the manwa is, let me tell you what to expect. Don't worry I'm not going to spoil anything. Well if I do please don't be mad. So the plot thickens in the second volume. You are introduced to shocking new secrets about a couple of the characters. This is also were the real fighting starts. And don't worry if you have a faint stomach the fighting scenes don't get very gory. In Ragnarok 2 you'll also be introduced to Loki and his group of assasins. They are mysterious and not much is revealed about them. They are sure to play some important part in future. So I really can't think of much else to write because I really don't want to ruin anything for anyone. Hope this was helpful. I really recommend this to anyone who enjoys manga or anime.

This review is from: Ragnarok # 2 (Paperback)

In volume 2 of Ragnarok, all of the characters introduced in the first volume come into conflict in the city of Fayon, ruled over by Iris Irine's father. Shortly after returning from hunting face worms, and with Lidia "Expert Treasure Hunter" in tow, our heroes are faced with an awful attack. Sara Irine the valkyrie, has come to Fayon seeking Balder, accompanied by a contingent of gigantic frost giants, has appeared and has vowed to lay waste to the city. Besides finding Balder, she has her own agenda to take revenge on the king, who reveals a unknown secret to Iris. Meanwhile, Fenris Fenrir has shown up, babbling to a flabbergasted Chaos that he is the god Balder reincarnated. And Skurai, the cursed prosecutor has also come to the city, goaded on by Odin's observers who promised that the blood that will lift his curse will be found there. As this battle begins to rage, in another city, the assassin Loki leads a band of his comrades in an effort against the forces of a king who is involved in the disappearance of hundreds, if not thousands, of children.

This second volume of Ragnarok was heavy on the action. What I like about it is the plentiful variety of characters. This makes its fantasy element really shine. They're really only a bit off from being superheroes. Lee's art is great at showing all facets of drama, from tragedy to slapstick comedy. Ragnarok is a Korean work that is very entertaining and should appeal to fans of Japanese and American comics.

This review is from: Ragnarok # 2 (Paperback)

ON my opinion this is by far the best of all the Ragnarok series. Of course this is the first one that I ever bought but now I almost have them all and this one is still my favorite. The art work is unmatchable and the story is really heart touching.

The whole plot was just amazing. And I just love how they designed their outfits."THE BOMB" Well anywayz moving on.
When I read the part of Sara Irine story I was really confused at first on what was going on. Then I got to the end where i really understood it and the meaning just made me want to break down in tears. Or probably knock some brains into her father. I mean I don't want to spoil anything but at first they seem so happy together. How could he just slaughter his wife and child like that. Things like this really does get to you.
Plus what I don't get in the first place is why they had to sacrifice them to begin with. (Sara and her mother were so pretty and her father looked like he really loved them)I mean couldn't he just have to daughters and where does Iris come in on all this...

All in all I would highly recommend this book to all readers out there and especially to all you anime fans. ENJOY :)...
