Publisher Description: Thor. Loki. Odin. Baldur. The heroes (and villains) of Norse mythology are strange, complicated, and more popular than ever. But the films and TV shows only tell half the story. The Viking gods are quite different than their popular depictions and these books capture the original tales in the comic book format. Come to understand the complicated relationship between Thor and Loki. Watch as Thor battles giants sometimes simply to prove a point. See what led to the destruction of the gods and goddesses and how they are fated to experience their demise over and over until the end of time. Each book in this series features educational back matter, writing prompts, discussion questions, and a glossary. And each book in this graphic novel series is sure to engage readers with the weird and wonderful Norse Myths. |
