A new heroic legend from the darkest corridors of time…

Before history was recorded in stone and ink, some men wrote it in blood! The entire Wolfskin: Hundredth Dream six issue series is collected here. Wolfskin, a nomadic warrior, hopes to find a new purpose in life after the accidental slaughter of his own tribe while in the throes of an uncontrollable berserker rage. Hired as a guide and swordsman for a rescue mission to the volcanic ice plains, he travels north with a band of misfits and magicians whose skills and ideology is perched between prehistory and the advent of technology. What dreadful enemy will they face on the outskirts of civilization, and will Wolfskin even have a place in the world should he slay it?

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, His leather boots have carried him far, across an Earth both young and terrifying. He has wandered from the boreal climes of his former home among the Northish tribes to the bustling seaports of the southern fjords, neither escaping his past nor embracing his future. But for the nomadic, berserker warrior named Wolfskin, past and future are about to collide in an unprecedented adventure of cataclysmic proportions. Having slaughtered his own tribesmen in the throes of an uncontrollable blood-rage, Wolfskin hopes to find a purpose in life by accepting a position as guide and hired swordsman on a rescue quest to the volcanic, High Northish ice plains. Accompanied by a rogue’s gallery of misfits and magicians perched between prehistory and the advent of technology, Wolfskin will become the central player in the greatest undocumented heroic legend to ever be lost in the corridors of time.

Next in issue #2, An archer. A magician. A machine-smith. And to lead them, a berserker warrior whose name lives in infamy: Wolfskin. Having assembled this rag-tag group of scoundrels and outcasts as a strike force to save his former home, Ildsen the fire mage and his compatriots-for-hire embark on their quest to the frozen High Northish Plains. Besieged by an enormous beast dispensing horrific, burning death in its wake, Ildsen hopes to not only save the village of Va, but to find a lasting peace, and a place where magic is still vital in an ancient world on the cusp of mechanical innovation. When the beast once again descends upon Va, the heroic rescuers realize that the fiery behemoth devouring the terror-stricken villagers is more than they could have ever imagined, but Wolfskin vows that if the demon possesses blood, it will be spilled!

Next in issue #3, One of the most graphic and meticulously detailed battle epics in comic book history is unveiled! As the village of Va is besieged by a gigantic, smoke-belching fire demon, Wolfskin and his fellow rescuers battle for their lives against the legendary beast which towers above them, crushing all in its path. And the earth-shaking terror has not arrived alone, ushering forth an overwhelming horde of demon warriors striking down all before them in a horrific orgy of blind fury and murder. But as long as a war hammer and sword remain in Wolfskin’s iron-like grip, a glimmer of victory remains, even in the face of the apocalyptic End Times which have been foretold by the prophets of this ancient world.

Next in issue #4, Warriors of Ve, to arms! After vanquishing the giant, smoke-belching, iron-clad horror that crawled like a spider and vomited hordes of death-dealing warriors from its belly, Wolfskin and his mercenary crew of hired heroes barely have time to enjoy the benefits that their sword arms have earned them. Out of the blackness of the night, a new terror is descending upon the quiet, Northish village, but this mechanical wonder dwarfs the last, and it possesses a power never before seen by those on the peninsula of Thule or anywhere else in the ancient world. This creature, this vile machine is called The Mother of The Black Beast. And it has the power of flight!

Next in issue #5, Deep within the heart of the smoldering volcano city of Isvellir, Wolfskin and his band of adventurers have brought their epic battle of might versus machinery to its source. Paralyzed by the very presence of the magic-killing machines of progress, surrounded by hordes of attackers and faced with certain death, Wolfskin has but one chance for survival- Communion with his god, Wrod through the ingestion of hallucinogenic, black cap mushrooms. But will anyone, including his allies, survive the monumental blood-lust, the unstoppable killing rage within him which will result?

Finally, in issue #6, This is it, the earth-shattering conclusion of one of the greatest fantasy epics ever! Alone against an entire city of warriors, Wolfskin has become an unstoppable, murderous machine who fears no man and lives only to kill! With nothing left to lose and his comrades falling around him, the barbarian swordsman battles not only for freedom, but to vanquish the one foe he cannot cut in two: The insidious encroachment of industry! But can the unparalleled rage of one, lone hero possibly avert the death of magic and an apocalyptic cataclysm that would change the world forever? Before history was recorded in stone and ink, some men wrote it in blood!
