King In Black: Return Of The Valkyries #2

When all is said and done, Return of the Valkyries #2 grows its story well as it brings in new characters and sets up the adventure ahead. Read Full Review

Return of the Valkyries' splintered storylines felt unusual at first as if the story was being spread too thin, but they inevitably found a way to seamlessly weave back together. Read Full Review

Clearly building towards something, and I appreciate the character moments. I don't agree this is lacking in action in any way.

The nameless new Valkyrie is dispatched to fetch her ax. Dani fights a void-dragon and Jane links up with her (and Hildegarde!). Brunnhilde provides some welcome exposition that neatly stitches Knull's origin story to the Valkyries' affairs. That's not a lot of plot progression, but I am deeply in love with how the characters are written here. And Brunnhilde's contribution opens up the possibility that the Valkyries' story might have a significant impact on the wider event. Speaking of the wider event, how sad is it that in 100s of pages, nobody's provided a better name for Knull's symbiote dragons than "symbiote dragons"?

This issue felt overly long, but it wasn't that bad.

This was a little slow?

Really hoping next issue won't be just a side mission. Still not sure why they want Hildegarde specifically.

Return of the Valkyries Issue: 2 Publisher: Marvel @marvel Writer: Jason Aaron @jasonaaron & Torunn Grønbekk @groenbekk Artist: Nina Vakueva Colors: Tamra Bonvillain @tamra.bonvillain Letters: Joe Sabino @joesabinoletterer Cover: Mattia De Iulis @mattart91 While being ferried to Valhalla, the Sentry’s soul was abducted by a decapitated Celestial and a horde of lost & corrupted souls. Tasked by Brunnhilde, Jane Foster assembles a group of Valkyries to destroy the Celestial corpse and cut off the power supply to Knull’s Necrosword. While Jane rallies her sisters in arms, the newly returned Valkyrie, yet to be named, goes in search of her former weapon, the mighty ax, Jarnbjorn! For those unaware, Jarnbjorn was an ax wield ed by Thor when he was not worthy enough to lift the hammer Mjolnir. I hope now that she is reunited with her mighty weapon, we are lucky enough so see her use it for many stories to come. The fact that Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie is here has me beyond excited. I was so disappointed with the Exiles version. But this one seems completely inspired by the Thor: Ragnarok version.

Jumping between characters and adding new ones is losing my interest very quickly. I think maybe I should have passed on this title.
