After the death of her brother, Leif, in Kill All Immortals II #3, Frey looks to avenge him, but realizes she doesn’t want to fight Khan at that moment and retreats. Erik buys her time to escape, but is quickly overwhelmed by Khan’s forces. Khan sends his assassins, including his daughter, after Frey.
Frey is able to defeat all of them except for Khan’s daughter. They continue to battle until they arrive at a stalemate. As Frey’s anger subsides, she’s informed of her father’s location, as well as the location of Khan’s relocated tree.
Upon returning home, Frey finds Thor and Steinn held captive by Al-Aziz. He’s there to bring Frey and her brothers back to Dubai for protection, but it’s not what she wants. Frey unleashes brutal attacks upon Al-Aziz and his men, killing all of them.
Frey decides that she will now go after Khan to finish the fight by destroying the Khan family tree and saving her father.
Analysis
Writer Zack Kaplan doesn’t skimp on the action in this issue, but the focus here is still on the development of Frey. At the start, she’s angry and wants to kill everyone because she’s hurt by the loss of her brother, not because of the glory that her father seeks. During the course of the battle with Khan’s assassin daughter, Frey realizes that she is her family and, for Vikings, family is important.
By the end, when she’s confronted by Al-Aziz, she knows that to reach her own greatness, she will have to do things she didn’t plan on doing a short time ago. This storyline has been about Frey’s journey and it’s been an interesting read. She wants a quiet, peaceful life, but isn’t afraid to brutally slaughter anyone who gets in her way.
My concern now is that, with only one issue left to go, Kaplan will have to pack too much into less than 30 pages to wrap things up neatly. I expect more dialog in the finale, but still think it may feel rushed. The pacing has been fast through the first four issues, so it’ll be interesting to see if Kaplan can pull off a satisfying conclusion.
The illustrations by Marco Itri and Elisabetta D’Amico are excellent. The colors by Thiago Rocha are fantastic, as well. The book looks great from beginning to end. I really enjoyed the action sequences, as they were full of energy and ferocity. Fans of blood spatter will have a field day with the artwork.
Final Thoughts
Kill All Immortals II #4 is filled with vicious fights and gory deaths, but the highlight is Frey’s struggles with her own life choices. She’s tough as nails and fun to read for some savage entertainment. Have fun, comic lovers!
