Press & Reviews
 

“Gods of Asgard is a perfect way to introduce people to these ancient accounts of war, love, avarice, joy and deception—in other words, stories about things modern people will still recognize as being all-too-human and not always superheroic.”
—The Washington Post | full review

“You have a thrill coming your way.”
—Ain't It Cool News | full review
“An authentic, earnest retelling of the myths.”
—Graphic Novel Roundup

“Gods Of Asgard is both literate and entertaining. It also gives the reader a good background in the kind of heroic fiction that has evolved into the modern comic book.”
—Geeks of Doom | full review

“It's clear that Evensen has an impressive knowledge of the myths of Asgard, but he presents these stories in a way that makes them accessible and fun to those who wouldn't know an Aesir from a Jotun. An indispensable educational account of Norse myths as well as a breezy, fun read with excellent cartooning, this is one of the indie comics gems of the year.”
—Randy Lander, Comic Pants

“I am thrilled to say, this book ROCKS.”
—What'cha Reading? | full review

“I enjoyed it a lot. Seriously. A lot. Best comic I've read in quite a while.”
—Kleefeld on Comics | full review
“Evensen brings comics readers a huge leap closer to the medieval Eddas with his respectful retelling of the Norse Myths. I'm glad to see Gods of Asgard in print.”
--Dr. Merrill Kaplan, folklorist

“Well-researched and skillfully crafted, 
this is an excellent contribution to comics 
and to mythology.”
--Dr. James Bucky Carter, comics scholar

“A solid addition for mythology collections or graphic novel collections that include graphic nonfiction or classics adaptations.”
—Voice of Youth Advocates
A graphic novel adaptation of the Norse Myths / 2007 Xeric Award Winner
