THREE BATTLES

Myung-Jin Lee is juggling quite a few storylines in this, the 10th and last volume of Ragnarok available here in the States (it's been on hiatus for about two years now). The sword possessed Skurai has taken Iris hostage to bring about a confrontation with Chaos. Even as they battle Iris' life is slipping away. Ignorant of their plight, Fenris continues battling in a magic-user tournament in order to secure passage out of the city of Geffen. Meanwhile, Loki, Lidia the thief, and a strange elven maiden have been sucked into the secret homeland of the elves, Alfheim, where they must confront not only the extememly powerful viceroy of the city, but his hired assassin, who is as powerful as Loki! The nagging thought you have as you read this is that no matter how good this volume is, there will be no continuation of it for the forseeable future. Just focusing on this volume of Ragnarok, Lee's art is pretty much the usual, very good except in the action sequences where it is hard to make out what exactly is happening at times. The story, like Star Wars, seems like an amalgamation of fantasy archetypes instead of bursting with its own originality. But there's nothing wrong with that. For what it is, action-packed fantasy, it works decently. I would recommend the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings films if you like this series. Also, the Scrapped Princess anime and manga.

Ragnarok again

One of my favorite mangas the worst thing about Ragnarok is waiting for the next one, and wondering if tokyopop is going to release more of them after 10 (nothing on there site about 11+, and i know it goes higher then that) all in all worth your time and money.
