“It is easy to see how VEI sparked a loyal following. Artist-writer Karl Johnsson and co-author Sara Bergmark Elfgren have brought to life something truly fun and original. They have created something very special and, thanks to Insight Comics, we have it all collected in an impressive hardcover edition….This is, no doubt, Sword & Sorcery at its best.” * Comics Grinder *
“Even if, like me, you have a lifelong obsession with Norse myths, I promise you you’ve never seen them like this – this strange, this vivid, this real. VEI takes the whole Norse cosmos and turns it on its head and brings it back to life in one stunning masterstroke. You cannot miss it.” – Lev Grossman
“A mythic tale that feels both faithful to its sources and enthrallingly original. Wonderful stuff!” – Mike Carey (Lucifer, The Unwritten)
