New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman and Eisner winner P. Craig Russell have collaborated on a new look at ancient Norse stories with Norse Mythology II. The new adventure takes readers on a trip through the creation of the Nine Worlds, traveling to the origins of Thor, Odin, and Loki. The series will also travel to the end of life with Ragnarok.
“Explore the origins of poetry – good and bad – in this tale of malicious dwarfs, suspicious giants, and the wise god Kvasir, whose eventual fate leads to the creation of a powerful mead that many will fight and die for,” Dark Horse’s description reads.
Adapted from Gaiman’s novel, Norse Mythology II is written by Gaiman and Russell with art by Matt Horak and colors by Lovern Kindzierski. The first issue is now on sale in comic shops.
