Valkyries

    (Alias, 2006)
™ and © 2006 Kevin Grievoux

In Norse mythology, the most heroic warriors are lifted from the battlefield by the valkyries, to spend eternity in Valhalla. From that premise spins this clever series, in which the valkyries are given life—and it turns out they’re much like ordinary women, with similar interests, motivations, and weaknesses. They bicker with each other, fall for attractive men, strive for equal status and recognition, and pass the time in Asgard. Naturally they also face outside threats, like those from evil Loki and his daughter Hela.

This remarkably entertaining and well-written series is by Kevin Grevioux and Leonel Castellani. Grevioux is best-known as an actor and screenwriter for films like Underworld.
