Berserk: Volume 32

Two great forces clash as the Kushan army lay siege to the port city of Vritannis.

This is one of the best volume of berserk I have read which sees several plot threads pulled together as Kentaro builds towards the conclusion of the Falcon of the Millennium Empire arc. It opens with an unlikely alliance between Guts and Zodd which is a great read. I'm a big fan of Zodd who has been in this series since the fifth volume, his appearances are always enjoyable but this is one of his best moments.  I can't wait to see the inevitable final duel between these two.

This book was a roller coaster ride filled with thrilling moments.It was good to finally get to see what the new band of the hawk can really do. I was blown away by the artwork. Somehow Kentaro manages to draw a two hundred thousand strong army and perfectly capture the chaos of an enormous battlefield. He is such a master of his craft, I loved his use of breath taking two page spreads which added to its epic feel. Griffith is pretty cool in this volume although I find it rather unsettling seeing him wielding so much power.

I love the ending which shows our heroes on a ship finally beginning their journey to Elfhelm.
