Chapter 111: Guð hjálpi mér: "Höskuldur is depicted in the saga as a model of Christian virtue and the representation of his death owes much to hagiographic models. His last words, in particular, highlight his holiness (…). The graphic novel [Brennan] emphasizes the centrality of the scene by dividing it into several panels (…). The segmentation (…) gives the authors the possibility to interrupt Höskuldur's sentence with Skarpheðinn's exhortation 'vertu þig!' ('defend yourself!') which, contrasting with the victim's passivity, renders explicit and emphasizes the allusion to the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 5. 38-39 and Luke 6. 29." (p. 357)
