Norse Mythology #6
In "Freya's Unusual Wedding," the gods face a bizarre ultimatum when Thrym, lord of the ogres, steals Mjollnir and demands Freya's hand in marriage in exchange. With Freya firmly refusing to wed an ogre, the Asgardians must concoct a clever plan to reclaim the hammer without breaking their word. Written by Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell, and brought to life with rich, expressive art by Jill Thompson and P. Craig Russell, this issue blends mythic grandeur with playful wit, all rendered in Thompson’s signature lush coloring and precise inking. The cover, by P. Craig Russell, captures the story’s whimsical tension with striking detail.
