They are accompanied by a short Satyr named Toro, who has lost his memory. When they get it back, Toro swears he'll be able to tell Owen what's going on with his unusual situation. Soren has recently found out that her powers are capable of destroying the world and believes her past is tied together with Owen's. She hopes one discovery will lead to another and that uncovering the truth behind Owen's curse will help her learn who and what she really is. Axe, for his part, is clearly connected to the old gods, who keep getting mentioned, but all he's hoping for is another drink. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For fans of \u003ci\u003eBRZRKR!, The Witcher, Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, Heathen, Rat Queens, Kings of the Wyld\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDungeons and Dragons\u003c\/i\u003e! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eBARBARIC Volume 5: The Long Death\u003c\/i\u003e collects the entire fifth, completely berserk, three-issue miniseries! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It's just ...
