I received this book from Goodreads First Reads in exchange for an honest review...
This book was amusing, entertaining, and a very fun read! I gave it to my niece and even though comic books don't interest her all that much, she said that it was "very funny" and that she liked the story behind it. She also liked how it challenged it reading-level wise, which not a lot of comic books do. She also read it to her little brother (my nephew) and he enjoyed it as well. Though the artistic side was a little sloppy and I felt like it could be slightly better (it felt outdated and amateur, which was the reason why I only gave it four out of five stars) all-in-all it was a very decent, worthwhile read.

In contrast to the artwork that harkens back to early Superhero comics and dialogue ensconced in “thee,” “thou,” and “verily,” Valhalla Mad is a philosophical story. By contemplating existential questions from the perspective of righteous, immortal warriors, Joe Casey avoids emotional interference and let’s us contemplate and learn along with the Viken heroes embarked on their most memorable Gluttonalia.

3 Asgardian-type warriors return to Earth for a gluttonalia!
Jhago, Greghorn and Knox come from Viken to New York for a pub crawl where they pick up Arthur, an old man dying of cancer but Knox has an ulterior motive.
Illustrated in a cartoony style, this collection is a bit too wordy for me. I did not find it particularly interesting and regret starting it.

It was not my thing. It had an interesting concept and nice design, but the story was lacking. It kept feeling like it was about to build up to something, but there was no build up or pay off. There may have been an end, but I couldn't find a resolution.

My love of books, graphic novels and comics was utterly disappointed. It was not my favorite and I had a hard time getting through it.

A comic riff of Lee and Kirby's Thor.
