History Channels #1 Drama Vikings is now being created into a comic book series.  Growing in popularity since its first season Vikings has become a huge success with a great following of fans. 

 Titan Comics is thrilled to announce a new comic book series based on the critically acclaimed television series, Vikings.

 The forthcoming comic book series which takes place within the third season and will follow Ragnar Lothbrok as he leads his Northmen on a new saga of glory and plunder. This tale of politics, intrigue, betrayal and sword-swinging combat is penned by best-selling Doctor Who writer Cavan Scott and illustrated by Staz Johnson (Wolverine, Spider-Man).

 â€œI have been a complete Viking geek ever since I visited the Yorvik Viking Centre in York as a kid. After years of reading the sagas of the marauding Northmen I couldn’t wait for the Vikings series. I’ve loved every minute of the first three seasons and am absolutely thrilled to be bringing Ragnar, Lagertha, Rollo, Floki and the rest to the world of comics. I can promise you the same mix of melees, mysticism, blood and treachery as King Ragnar faces his toughest challenges yet. Who will desert him first, his gods or his men?” – Cavan Scott

The brand new Vikings comic series is due to hit stores Spring 2016. Four variant covers will be available, including two photo covers:
