Slaine: The Horned God (Sláine)

Product Information

Blathnaid – Former lover of Sláine, who used to rob horse-drawn carriages and was a regular runaway bride. Later on after they had parted ways, she was devoured by a giant serpent summoned from hel by the Drunes, after which it was able to take her shape. [25] Elfric – Three-eyed blue skinned demon capable of time travel. He led both the Roman invasion of Britain and the Viking invasion of Ireland. He appears to be homosexual or bisexual as he refers to his relationship with Nero and was reluctant to rape Boudicca's daughters, only doing so out of spite. [16]

Kai – Sláine's son. Sláine wanted him to be a warrior but Niamh had him train as a druid. He later becomes a travelling acrobat. [11] Slough Throt – A drune lord who successfully sheds his rotting skin to earn the rank of Slough. He hired Sláine as a bodyguard to escape Slough Feg and deliver the plans for Ragnarok to the Druids of Glastonbury. [17] Medrawd – Farmer who lives alone with his mother, who is actually a shape-shifting shoggey beast responsible for devouring many passing travellers. [25] With brand new scans and in its oversized format, Sláine: The Horned God Anniversary Edition promises to bring one of comics’ greatest sagas to live in a way never before seen! As always, Rebellion will be releasing a special webshop exclusive hardcover edition – but this time it will be a box set featuring the three series or “books” that comprised the saga in separate hardcovers.Originally spanning three volumes, this Sláine collection is true fantasy from start to end, with Slaine first overcoming the Formian sea demons threatening Tir-Nan-Og and the Earth Goddess; only to face his greatest challenge that, if successful, would give him control of nature itself and become the new Horned God — a prominent figure among Gaulish and Irish mythology. King Rudraige mac Dela – Ruler of the city of Gorlias and guardian of the Silver Sword of the Moon. His hand is bitten off by Avagddu and replaced with a metal prosthesis, preventing him from becoming High King. He was married to Niamh for a year, but leaves her for a warrior resembling Arnold Schwarzenegger's Conan. [9] Sláine's favourite weapon is an axe called "Brainbiter". He has the power of the "warp spasm", based on the ríastrad or body-distorting battle frenzy of the Irish hero Cú Chulainn, in which earth power "warps" through his body, turning him into a terrifying, monstrously powerful figure. He is a devotee of the earth goddess Danu.

Kao što i Toppi-ja vredi kupiti pre svega zbog crteža, tako ne žalim ni što sam Slaine-a kupila. Moram priznati da je ovo jedno od najboljih Komikovih izdanja koje posedujem.Sláine, the Celtic Barbarian for ZX Spectrum – MobyGames". mobygames.com. Archived from the original on 29 February 2008.

Ali, ljudi moji, koga boli uvo za priču kada vidite šta radi ovaj Simon Bisley!!! Kakve su to boje, kakva teskobna atmosfera, kakvi bizarni likovi, koliko krvi, bujnih ženskih izazovnih tela... i naravno razbacani muževni polunagi sirovi Slaine! Malo je reći da sam oduševljena! Čista umetnost. Neko njegov crtež poredi sa crtežom B.Sienkiewicza, ali mene su neke table podsetile i na Frazettu. However, the artstyle is not only stellar, it's aweinspiring. There are dozens and dozens of panels that I desperately want to hang on my walls as posters, there are depictions of heroes I want to use as my character on a game and ones to use as inspiration for my next story. The pulp-style art, where the heroes have biceps bigger than a dragon's leg, the monsters are abominations from nightmares and the damsels are both siren-like and dangerous, is breathtaking. Even the humorous depictions work, whether that is the stupid-smug of Slaine or his spikey hair, it's always great.

Guild Master – An old dwarf who invites Ukko to join the Guild of Cutpurses, Varlets and Mendicants This was simply excellent. I listened to it over the course of a morning and was totally enthralled. The performances were outstanding including Colin Morgan as Sláine and Gerry O’Brien as Ukko, the dwarf, who is Sláine’s companion and the chronicler of his adventures. Ukko is very much comic relief with great banter between him and the druidess Nest, who ‘encourages’ Ukko to write down the saga. Nest, who was portrayed by Fiona Glascott, was my favourite character. Scota – Egyptian princess who eloped with Gael's Atlanteans. Gives her name to the Scottish race. [19] Gael – Leader of the tribe of wandering Atlantean refugees who ally themselves with Odacon's fomorians. Serves as Odacon's first host (golamh). Gives his name to the ' gaelic' peoples. [19] The metal band Slough Feg (originally named The Lord Weird Slough Feg) named themselves after the character of the same name.

Myrddin – Half-Cythron Atlantean survivor and high-level magus analogous to Merlin. His fortress is located in modern-day Wales.Conal the Handsome – A warrior Sláine punches in the face in an attempt to start a fight. Despite losing all his teeth, Conal is more concerned about the damage to Sláine's hand. [23]
