      Yay! I know not everyone who reads TMK knows about Norse mythology so I hope this works for everyone.

    Beatiful rendition, shows he has the gift of synthesis.
    Also, good he didn’t mention how Loki and his family ends up after this…
    I remember reading the myth for the first time as a child, in a series of illustrated mithology booklets for children, and in the norse one there was this “very nice” illustration of what gods did… somehow, it looked really “too much” to six-year-old me, worse than what was done to Prometheus(very nice illustration of that too.. I’m now wondering about the mental health of the illustrator*_*) because it involved their sons, even if Vali and Narfi were there depicted as young men and not as children, and Loki was really depicted as nothing more than some sort of devil…
    Luckily, later in my years I’ve come around more leveled versions of this mith, with very good insights on the meaning of the story, and comparing them, especially with greek and Babylon myths has helped to put them in a structured perspective…sorry for the uncalled wall of text.
    Thanks again for the comics.

      Nooo that’s all really interesting! Sadly I’m not quite done with the story here, haha, but I won’t be getting into anything too graphic. Thank you!

    I adore your stylized, Nordic drawings. This page is just so wonderful with all the little details like Hod’s figure not having any eyes and Coal’s gesture as he shares the story in front of the fire…just fills me with multiple senses: awe, foreboding…and squealing because I’m looking at this as “story-time with Coal”.

    I have no knowledge of Nordic mythology and have been reading your comic with small forays into wikipedia now and then…but this page really has me itching to do some real research and learn about it now!

    You continue to have me falling love with every page! 🙂

      Haha, thank you! A really great book I read that’s a retelling of the mythologies is simply “The Norse Myths” by Kevin Crossley-Holland. Very entertaining and also easy to understand and read. There’s some notes in the back too.

    We could go into where Sleipnir came from… From our gender bending buddy who decided to be a mare for some ribald mischief to save his own skin and defraud an honest jotun craftsman.

    In the “Lokasenna” Loki doesn’t kill Balder, he just starts calling the gods out on all the horrible nasty things they’ve been doing (murder, adultery, etc.), then he starts Ragnarok later as retaliation for being punished.

    I like Norse stuff, theres so many alternate versions of everything…

      Try Egyptian; sometimes the gods are relatives, others they’re spouses. Over a bajillion different versions for the exact same myth!
