Runes of Ragnan

In this four-issue Image Comics miniseries from 2005–2006, writer Ty Gorton and a trio of artists—Josh Medors, Bud Cook, and Ben Templesmith—paint a darkly fantastical saga steeped in Norse myth. The story follows a young woman thrust into a brutal war between ancient gods and monstrous forces, where her own fated runes may hold the key to survival or doom. A moody, visually eclectic entry in Image’s mid-2000s catalog, it’s a compact burst of epic fantasy that showcases Templesmith’s signature atmospheric style alongside Medors and Cook’s gritty storytelling.
