Helheim #1 (2013) carves a brutal path through Norse mythology with a visceral, supernatural twist. Written by Cullen Bunn and brought to life through the stark, haunting artwork of Joëlle Jones, this debut issue launches a grim and bloody saga where death is not the end—but merely the beginning.
Set in a dark and frostbitten age of warriors, witches, and restless spirits, the story introduces Rikard, a mighty Viking whose loyalty and strength in battle are unmatched. But when he falls in combat defending his village, a sinister magic brings him back—changed. Transformed into something beyond mortal, he becomes an undead juggernaut, neither man nor monster, driven by vengeance and bound to dark forces.
Joëlle Jones’ artwork is both elegant and brutal, perfectly capturing the tension between beauty and horror that defines Helheim. Bunn’s writing is sharp and atmospheric, weaving a tale that feels both mythic and intimately human, ideal for fans of horror-infused historical fantasy.
This first issue sets the tone for a saga filled with witchcraft, bloodshed, and the cost of power. A must-have for readers of Witchfinder, The Sixth Gun, or Conan with a darker edge.
