Book Reviews of Berserk Volume 22 (Berserk (Graphic Novels))
Book Review: Carries the Story MUCH Further
Summary: 5 Stars
This story certainly throws the Berserk story MUCH further. Instead of constant battle, there is a sudden confrontation. Guts and Griffith! They stand and meet face to face, and speak words with each other right in front of the now noticeably several-years aged Rickert (who still has no idea what happened during the Eclipse). Then...the second battle between Guts and Nosferatu Zodd happens! Guts vs. Zodd! Finally! Once again, we see how they clash in their built strength, and Guts is much stronger this time around.
After this, we get to see how Lady Farnese and her faithful companion Serpico are doing out in the snowy cold. Turns out: we get to see an entire flashback to how they met in the first place. Serpico was a poor boy, turns out the son of her neglectful and wealthy father, and by chance circumstance made him her page (taking all her abuse over the years without giving her the information that he is actually her half-brother), and spends the years dealing with her obnoxious, spoiled tyranny and pyromaniacal habits.
Seriously furthers the story on. A "Must Read" for all Berserk fans, like myself.
Plus...we get to treasure the introductions to Griffith's new entrants to his newly resurrected BAND OF THE HAWK. And...oh, how freaking perfect they are. Zodd is the only demon of the group, the other three are human (I'd assume) but are so advanced in their skill it's just foreboding that Guts will have quite a struggle in having to deal with these unstoppable fighters. (If you've ever seen "Spirited Away": Well, one of them is much like the weird character No Face, just to give you a clue. HOW...FREAKING...AWESOME!)
Book Review: They Meet .
Summary: 4 Stars
Long long time ago
Back in the dark ages of europa .
A dark swordsman he roamed
In that ancient land of gothica .
After revenge he sought
Against demons , for betrayal
From a man he once believed
To be a friend with no denial.
The twenty second folio :
Readers of the twenty first folio
Were shown
That knight of hawk
Upon a demo , flown .
Alas he returns not the same
With a horrid companion
A demon insane
And Upon our on eyed warrior
Attacks , a murderous cain .
And of lady farnese and her servant
You will see
Their innocent childhood
snuffed off glee .
