Les mondes de Thorgal - Kriss de Valnor #2

Published in 2012 by Le Lombard, this second volume in the Kriss de Valnor spin-off of Les Mondes de Thorgal delivers "La sentence des Walkyries" — a title that promises judgment from the Norse shield-maidens themselves. Grzegorz Rosiński's cover is immediately arresting: a dark-haired woman falls helplessly down a pale stone chasm while an armored Valkyrie figure watches imperiously from above, the contrast between their poses saying everything about power and vulnerability. With writer Yves Sente and artist Giulio De Vita steering the story, fans of the Thorgal universe will find plenty to savor in this exploration of Kriss's fierce and complicated world.
