Description
"Welcome to the Nine Worlds, home of Gods, Valkyries, Dwarves, Jotnar, and more! Travel the burning rainbow bridge to Asgard where Odin, king of the Aesir, surveys his realm. His thirst for knowledge drives him ever onward, but nothing is learned without sacrifice ... In Asgardians, George O'Connor's highly kinetic illustrations bring these gritty and astonishing tales of war, betrayal, and the quest for enlightenment at any cost to vivid and startling life and provide the perfect companion to his Olympians series."--

Having wrapped up his wonderful series about the Olympians of Greek mythology, George O'Connor now proceeds to give Norse mythology the same treatment.
This opening chapter gets a little bogged down in setting the stage and introducing a boatload of characters, but O'Connor manages to keep it fairly
The chatty and informative endnotes are just as fun to read as the main story.
I already know this whole series is going to be a pleasure to read.
