    If everything you know of Thor and Loki comes from the comics and movies, prepare yourselves for an education and an enjoyable read. The second volume of Norse Mythology is the equal of the first. This is a finely made comic and a worthy gift to the gods of Asgard. Read Full Review

    I would recommend this one if you are a fan of Neil Gaiman and the artist involved. Not really related to Thor, Odin and Loki in Marvel except for the names. Read Full Review
