Starting with the intriguing concept of a reimagining of Sigurd and Brynhild following lesbian protagonist Aydis as she and Brynhild fights against the oppressive patriarchal Viking clans. However, our two protagonists are quickly separated and go on separate journeys of self-discovery, weakening later revelations in the plot. And Alterici’s art style often portrays women in a voyeuristic and fan service way which only leans into the themes she is trying to tackle rather than dismantle them. — Full Review on thebackcatalogue.substack.com

Heathen is a unique storyline that had the potential to become an epic fantasy, but since it's confined to three short graphic novels it falls a bit short. Besides that, it's still a creative and fun series that I thoroughly enjoyed.
