Product Description Comics legend Walter Simonson's epic tale of divine intrigue in the twilight of the Norse gods continues!In the end, the gods gathered together and met their foes on the Battle Plain of Vigrid. There, so the stories say, the gods and their Great Enemies slaughtered each other, the stars fell from the sky, Midgard itself sank into the all encompassing ocean, and the Nine Worlds were destroyed.But not all the old stories are true. Thor survived as did most of the Enemies while the gods went down to defeat and the Nine Worlds became one vast land of desolation. Now, in his search for revenge, the last god standing hears the voice of one long dead and it sets him on a new course. The path he must tread will lead down into Helheim, the realm of Death, where he will encounter a host of threats--a mine of slaves charged with unearthing ore to forge god-killing swords, monstrous wolves who would tear him to shreds in their rage, and the numberless hosts of Helheim itself. For Thor seeks the hidden fate of Hel, Queen of the Dead, one of the architects of Ragnarök, and Loki's daughter! And, behind everything, he will discover a secret that threatens the balance of all existence.Walter Simonson, legendary creator of Star Slammers, Manhunter and the Alien film adaptation (with Archie Goodwin), and the definitive version (after Stan and Jack) of Marvel's Thor, presents the next thrilling chapter of his own post-Ragnarök Thor saga! Review "I loved the story and gloried in the visuals. This is a book that every fan of comics should be following. No one does epic like Walter Simonson." --SciFi Pulse About the Author Over the course of his career, Walter "Walt" Simonson has written and drawn nearly every major character from both Marvel and DC Comics. Notable works include an adaptation of Alien, once again with his Manhunter collaborator and close friend, Archie Goodwin, Star Wars, The Fantastic Four, Orion and Elric. In the 1980s and 1990s Simonson resurrected the concepts from his college thesis, creating an original graphic novel and miniseries featuring the Star Slammers. In 2014 Simonson launched Ragnarök with IDW Publishing, a creator-owned series that once again brings him back to his beloved Norse mythology.
