Ragnarök: The Breaking of Helheim #3

Walter Simonson's Ragnarök: The Breaking of Helheim reaches its third issue, and the cover alone sets a deeply unsettling tone — an ornately crafted sword with a grotesque, red-eyed face worked into its crossguard dominates the foreground, while skeletal and undead figures crowd the edges, dripping with blood against a cold teal sky. Looming behind it all is a gaunt, pale figure with hollow eyes and long white hair, every bit as ominous as the realm of Helheim itself. With Simonson writing, penciling, and inking, Martin on colors, and Workman on letters, this 2019 IDW series continues to bring genuine craft and mythological dread to every page.
