Old Debts 9
If you are a new reader, you might want to subscribe to “Holiday Wars” as well as start reading it from the beginning. Once you’re caught up on the main storyline then checkout the side stories in “Tales of Holiday’s Past.”
Did you think I was going to do a Norse gods story and not include Loki?!
It doesn’t come up in the story so I’ll reveal it here. Loki is not Odin’s son. Why? Because in the mythology he isn’t. According to mythology, Loki and Odin are blood brothers. Don’t believe me? Google it!
Actually kind of already knew that, thanks to a fun little book called "Odd and the Frost Giants." If anything, it made me want to know more about Norse mythology, though I really woudl like a good resource on a number of mythologies. Any tips? Greek and Norse are the top ones I want to read more of.
As for the comic, I'm absolutely loving it. The story is very well done, I applaud your efforts. ^^
Since you like Neil Gaiman you should try out his "American Gods." The tenth anniversary edition just came out this week so it should be pretty easy to find.
Otherwise there really isn't THAT much modern fiction focusing on Norse mythology (tons of old stuff if you like reading literature). If you reallyyyy want to know more your best bet is to get a non-fiction book and they are a dime a dozen.
I would also note that I was right last week. 😛
I knew you were. It was a dead give away… I just couldn't say you were right cause that would've spoiled things for those who don't know anything about mythology.
Fair enough. 😉
Your characters seem to lack a sense of humor.
I'm not a fan of humor. That's why there is none in my work.
