The good people at Comixology featured Natasha Alterici’s Heathen as a pick of the week! Her comic rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest titles in the industry.
“Aside from the absolutely phenomenal art in this book, what really caught my attention was this quest that was in the typical save the princess template where the valkyrie is on this mountain trapped behind flames and can only be freed by someone coming to rescue her. Then she has to marry them. The woman who is on the way to rescue the valkyrie is like ‘I really want to marry her. I assume she must be lonely so I just want to get her out of there.’ That kind of realism was really refreshing.” – Kara
“The art style reminded me of storyboards for a movie that are dirty, gritty, and almost unfinished, but it was perfect for this setting and story. I was really surprised about how well it fit into this story.” – Matt
“I’m out (of my clan), so I might as well go and save the day. I have nothing else to do. And why is everyone else so worthless?” – Kara
