Helheim #2 (2013) plunges deeper into a world where Norse myth collides with gothic horror. Written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by the exceptional Joëlle Jones, this issue builds on the explosive debut, delivering chilling revelations and unrelenting tension.
Following his unnatural resurrection, Rikard—once a loyal warrior, now an undead revenant—struggles to comprehend the dark magic that binds him. As he becomes a weapon in the escalating war between rival witches, his humanity begins to slip. What he once fought for is no longer clear, and his monstrous transformation may be the only thing standing between his village and utter destruction.
Joëlle Jones’ artwork remains stunning, blending visceral action with eerie, atmospheric detail. Her ability to convey emotional nuance amid the blood and magic of this harsh world gives the story weight and resonance. Bunn’s storytelling continues to impress, balancing high-stakes action with thoughtful character evolution.
Helheim #2 is a critical instalment in this haunting saga—a perfect pick for readers who appreciate folklore steeped in dread, with a protagonist as tragic as he is terrifying.
