“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.”

“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.”

“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 enjoyed it a lot. Seriously. A lot. Best comic I've read in quite a while.”

“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.”
