The Berserk, a comic that harder than metal

When talking to fans of heavy metal music, usually they like to watch independent horror movies and extreme comics too. While I am not really interested to independent horror movies, I do watched a lot of comics. And "The Berserk" is really one hell of a comic that fit into the spirit of extreme metal very very much!! "The Berserk" is a Japanese comic which the first issue is already more than 18 years old. The story is about a warrior who fight the dark descend of a great demon to the earth solely by himself, he did not stop chasing that demon(who actually used to be the warrior's best friend)even though he lost his right eye and left hand(his left hand was replaced a multi-purpose pseudo-limb with the ability to shoot arrows and even cannon ball!!!). The comic did not finished and I think the story will last for at least 20 more years according to the speed of the author.

This is a great comic for all those who like something dark and brutal, this comic is packed with a lot of killing, gore scene, but the really brilliant thing about this comic is the idea blend under these matters, it insists one must live by his own will and not following trend like all the others do, it inspired me a lot and I think for those who can read Chinese or Japanese(I'm not sure if English version is available) should go to have a look at this comic.
