Tombstone Blues by Chadwick Ginther

5.0

Reading Tombstone is sometimes like taking a crash course in Norse mythology, but luckily the plot is zippy enough not to get too bogged down in all the heavily umlauted references to Nídhöggur and Jötunheim and Skídbladnir. I should think that viewers of The Avengers might discover the Marvel Comics’ portrayal of these gods to be slightly out of sync with Ginther’s unflattering portraits. These Gods are sadly all too identifiable, prone to rage and jealousy and vanity and terribly bad judgment. Thor won’t be teaming up with Ted to fight crime any time soon, is what I’m saying. Although, sequel?
