review:
Siegfried finds himself in the forest guided (or hindered) by the Niebelung, Mime. He is on a journey to kill the dragon, but he must collect three weapons first. Overseeing his journey is a Valkyrie who is forbidden to help him. Odin seeks her because she has strayed.
It's epic in scope, but there is plenty of humor as well. Mime carries an anvil around that Siegfried is always having to haul up cliff faces or retrieving from swamps. There is tragedy too, when the Valkyrie must make a sacrifice that will cost her everything.
The art by Alex Alice is beautiful. The niebelung and the witch are a little cartoony looking, but Odin is brooding and the Valkyrie has a sadness about her. Siegfried is young and hopeful. Nicely done.
