About
Viking Comic Sacks Good Taste
The days of medieval glory are but distant memories for Odin as he broods in Asgard and observes the world go to pot. Eagerly awaiting the Ragnarok, he does his best to raise his son Baldur with proper medieval values while making sure the plumbing works for the heroes in Valhalla.
While other Viking Gods, including the liberated Freyja and the prankster Loki, have adapted to the modern age, Odin still longs to toss lightning bolts at unsuspecting mortals and decorate his mead hall with the severed heads of giants. Only his son Thor can offer words of comfort — when he is sober enough to speak them.
New webcomics appear on Tuesdays and Fridays. Blog posts on Viking-themed issues appear randomly when the Norns decree.
