From the shadow-drenched halls of horror arrives Odin, the bone-chilling new series from Image Comics and Tiny Onion that is forged by a pantheon of comic book titans: five-time Eisner Award winning writer James Tynion IV (The Department of Truth, W0RLDTR33, Exquisite Corpses), battle-savvy co-writer Marguerite Bennett (Witchblade), thunderously talented artist Letizia Cadonici (House of Slaughter), multiple Eisner Award winning color enchantress Jordie Bellaire (The Nice House on the Lake, Assorted Crisis Events, Redlands), cunning letterer Tom Napolitano (Red Book), design warrior Dylan Todd (The Department of Truth), and fire-eyed editor Steve Foxe (Razorblades). Together the creative team has invoked a series launch so savage it has spread across the readers of Midgard like Ragnarök fire and sold out completely at the distributor level. Image Comics has summoned a rapid reprint this week to stave off the wave of reorders rolling in at the gate.
Odin follows Adela, a thrill-seeking journalist who goes undercover to report on a band of Neo Nazis. She will do anything for the perfect story, including heading into the frozen forests of Norway with Neo Nazi punks who seek Odin to achieve their promised white supremacist destiny. But what awaits them in the woods is far older and stranger than any of them can comprehend, and no gods are coming to answer their prayers. Green Room meets Midsommar with a touch of The Ritual in this relentless hallucinogenic thriller that leaves absolutely no taboo unbroken.
“I’m so happy and grateful y’all are so hungry for blood,” said Bennett. “I’ve brought buckets.”
Tynion added: “Odin is one of the most brutal works I’ve ever been a part of, and I’m thrilled that it’s found an audience as ravenous to read this story as we’ve been to tell it.”
“Thank you all for your enthusiasm,” said Cadonici. “I’m so happy that you’re enjoying this crazy journey with us!”
