The narrative has really evolved beyond the Escape from New York/Warriors elements that made the first episodes so interesting.

Though I agree with you that while very good, Northlanders doesn't have quite the kick as Wood's other series (DMZ, Demo, Local). DMZ is IMO the best ongoing series out there, War Powers (the next story arc) is just amazing, the amount of growth the setting and the characters have undergone during the series is nothing short of remarkable. @TYNAM

I also think the main artist is just fantastic...his renderings of the main characters really brings something essential to them. More than that, it kind of reminds you of some of what made NYC so vital in the chaotic, violent 70s and 80s. Love this series.
