This volume continues the high-quality adaptation of Gaiman's novel into the comic book format. Beautiful artwork and straightforward tellings of the myths. I love this series!

I'm enjoying my time diving into Norse mythology through a number of different facets - through Rick Riordan's Magnus Chase series, through Norse Mythology (graphic novels and novel), and even through Red Rising (some Norse mythology references).
In this 2nd volume, we are shown the following four different stories:
• The Mead of Poets [issues #1-2] / Art by Matt Horak
• Thor's Journey to the Land of Giants [issues #3-4] / Art by Mark Buckingham
• The Apples of Immortality [issue #5] / Art by Gabriel Hernández Walta
• The Story of Gerd and Frey [issue #6] / Art by Sandy Jarrell

Okay, let's be real...these stories are utterly ridiculous and stupid.
And yet, there's so much fun to be had here. The storytelling is excellent, and the art—a different artist for each story—is uniformly fantastic.
