In this volume of this Norse epic with a queer female Viking lead, we add in pirates and mermaids. I like how Aydis gets by on her courage and wits, but still makes mistakes from being too naive about the world.
Alterici's art has grown by leaps and bounds over the previous volume. This story gets my highest recommendation. If you haven't read Heathen you should be.

We liked the first one so well that we (Melissa and I) went and bought all three. They totally lived up to the promise of the first.

Vol. 3 ★★★★☆
What an absolutely underrated hidden gem of a series. ♥ I love these characters and this world and storyline so much. Aydis and Freyja specifically are so lovable, but I also was instantly taken with the ship's crew of badass ladies and the devious little mermaids. The art is lovely and again, the queer rep is an arrow straight to the heart in the best ways.

The All-Father Strikes Back in the middle entry of this God Wars trilogy, and it is physically and emotionally brutal on Aydis the Viking and her allies. And me too, for that matter.
I love that Aydis travels on a sailing vessel crewed by real queens of African and Asian history who patrol the seas freeing slaves from other ships. The captain is Makeda, better known as the Queen of Sheba. On lookout in the crow's nest are Hai Bà Trưng, or the Trưng Sisters, Nhị and Trắc, of Vietnam. Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba prowls the deck. And Dahia, who flirts with Aydis, is based on Dihya al-Kahina, the Berber queen.

The story is still strong in this second volume. The highlight for me was an argument between Freyja and Odin in which they argue whether love or law is the best way to deal with humans. This raises a lot of interesting questions. Also, there is a subplot in which the protagonist makes a deal with some merpeople that has some interesting implications for the concept of trust.
There was one negative point, though. The creator of this comic is really skilled at drawing people and scenes of nature but is not very good at drawing ships. Unfortunately, ships play a major role in this story. Seeing the unnaturally boxy ships in this comic took away some of the pleasure of looking at the art. When ships are not involved, the art is as beautiful.

Heathen es un cómic genial, sobre todo a nivel visual. Este segundo volumen me ha gustado más que el primero, que sentí muy introductorio y cuyo guion se me quedó un poco cojo. Aquí tampoco es que sucedan muchas cosas, pero me ha resultado más redondo. Es mi pega con esta historia, se nos va dando muy poco a poco, haciendo que quede deslucida a pesar de ser bien interesante. Pero, para mí, el arte lo compensa.

This absolute treasure of a graphic novel, drawn *and* written by the same person, features:
-A MC cast out of her recently converted bigot village going on a quest to overthrow Odin.
-A goddess of love who walks around almost completely naked (and *utterly unsexualized*, no male gaze here) who has her castle full of her lovers who were misfits cast out of society. (She also does a really cool thing with her powers later. Won’t spoil but it’s super cool.)
-Great atmospheric art.
-A ship full of badass diverse women pirates who rescue slaves around the world.
-Consequences for actions.

Queer, feminist, gorgeous art style, mermaids, pirates and vikings.....do I have to say anything else?? It's so good and I can't wait for Vol. 3

This middle volume of the planned trilogy has young Viking Aydis trying to reach Heimdall, which is the magical entrance to the land of the Gods. She enlists a ship of female sailors to take her northward into unfamiliar waters along with a trio of man-eating mermaids. On parallel journeys, recently released Valkrie Brynhild is struggling with the price of her freedom and Freyja, the decedent Goddess of Love, is feuding with the God-King Odin. All three women are set to converge soon, and hopefully throw over the patriarchy together.
Author and illustrator Natasha Alterici's art has improved since volume one. Inked in black and white with a few sepia and blush overwashes and black gutters, it captured the iciness of the Northlands. Backgrounds remain minimal, but she captures a diverse cast well. I also liked how she introduced some complexity into Aydis's story, in which she was very naive about a choice she made and when it backfired and someone else was hurt, she was called out on it. I look forward to the conclusion of Aydis's journey in the next volume!

Had a little bit of a hard time getting into this one, but I think it was mostly just because the first volume was published so long ago and this one kept getting put off more and more and I really forgot most of what was going on. Still, I love queer vikings, killer mermaids, and awesome lady pirates so it was overall a fun read. If they end up doing a volume 3 I should probably do a reread before continuing though ;)

December 29, 2021A comic so set on overthrowing the patriarchy that it makes Norse society and gods more patriarchal than they were in order to better shake a fist at them. So unwittingly mired in a modern paradigm that it seems to think a Dark Ages warrior would be surprised to find mermaids dangerous, not whimsical, creatures, when that would have been the default assumption for centuries either side of this admittedly pretty vague and mythic era. Aware that Viking society was not the Aryan homogeneity of fascist wank fantasies, but which then overeggs that by including representatives of every Old World continent on a single ship (which, just to really gild the lily, is also a firm matriarchy on an anti-slavery crusade). It means well, there can be absolutely no doubt of that, but dear heavens I found it exhausting.

A fantastic sequel
Natasha does another great job of telling a story of women empowerment. Following 3 different story lines in such a short book would seem tough, but it is done very well. Natasha again does an incredible job with the illustrations as well. There is also brief nudity again.
“My father’s words echo in my head. “Warriors go alone.””
Aydis is on a journey to get to Heimdal. On her way we get to meet a ship crewed by all women who are tough as nails while also being helped by dangerous mermaids. Brynhild and Sigurd are making their way to the home of the Valkyries and Freyja is dealing with Odin.

The queer viking fantasy Heathen quickly ascended its humble Kickstarter beginnings to become a huge hit. The debut book, both written and drawn by Natasha Alterici, was not only picked up by publisher Vault Comics, but we might see Aydis and her viking world portrayed on the big screen, as Alterici also snagged a movie deal.
Thankfully, regardless of its newfound fame and adoration, the second volume of Heathen expands on the enchanting and dark Norse fantasy world, building on the best of what the first installment had to offer. Aydis’ quest to subdue Odin’s grip on the mortal world (read: the patriarchy) takes her seaward, with a most excellent and queer captain and pirate crew, but her actions have caught the attention of the All-Father, who intends on stopping this new threat. We also continue to follow immortals Brynhild and Freyja whose own efforts to resist are met with varying degrees of success.
Alterici takes a a step back from clearly laying out the metaphors in the book (a weakness of the first volume), leaning more into the mythology fantasy and storytelling; the metaphors are still there, but it’s a more engrossing and authentic read. She has a very strong voice for talking animals and mythical creatures, remaining a strong point of the story as we both revisit some and meet new – it gives the fantasy world an amusing yet dangerous and unpredictable tone that’s very intriguing. (I name dropped Gaiman as a comparison last time and it still holds.) I was hoping we’d run into the two dogs again, hopefully they’ll make an appearance in the next volume.
Fans of queer comics and literature will love the diverse, all female/nonbinary pirate crew who liberate slaves from other pirates. Is it a bit unrealistic that Aydis would *immediately* stumble upon this kind of crew? Yes, but WHO CARES IT’S GLORIOUS. Most importantly, Aydis grows as a character away from her immortal companions (whose bigger personalities overshadowed her own) and makes high-stakes errors necessary for a true protagonist, especially in a fantasy story. I wasn’t sure if Aydis could carry the story on her own, but in this volume, she reclaims the role of protagonist in Heathen.
The weakest aspect for me was Freyja and Odin’s meta conversation about Why The World Is The Way It Is. It’s where Alterici puts her patriarchy metaphor, which, while more effective than last volume, still made the story drag. I also had trouble following a few minor plot points, such as a character death and the captain finding out something important about Aydis, but this could be due to a significant amount of time between reading volumes.
Alterici’s art skills have grown tremendously since the last volume – which was already an impressive feat – and it’s already a huge accomplishment to both write and illustrate a comic book. Visual standouts during the volume include really beautiful scenes on the pirate ship as well as underwater, and lovely sepia tone lighting in a scene between Freyja and Brynhild.
And just like last time, most of the women are sparsely dressed because of their strength and respective cultures – Aydis addresses her lack of armor in a scene – to subvert the patriarchy in their world, as well as the male gaze in our own. Alterici does a beautiful job showing a lot of skin in a way that feels both natural and empowering for her female protagonists.
When I reviewed the first volume, I said the colors were too muted for the story, but my opinion has changed on this. The color palette still leans heavily on neutrals, but I’ve come to realize that it fits the Norse mythology world and is a nice match for the story. Moreover, Alterici’s use of dramatic shadows and highlights, as well as her overall improvement in this volume, helps offset the lack of color. But I still stand by this prediction: we’ll see more color if Aydis successfully unseats Odin.
Ashley A Woods will be joining as Heathen’s artist beginning with the next arc. Alterici was dealing with hand pain, which was the cause of Heathen’s hiatus last year, so this will help Alterici focus on the very important task of healing her hand, while still directing the writing and overall story. It will be interesting to see how the shift to a two person team might impact the series. Regardless, I highly recommend the series and impatiently waiting for volume three.

A good follow-up to the amazing first volume of Natasha Alterici's dark fantastical lesbian Viking comic. It's been ages, but coming back to this world and these characters, and this magnificent watercolour artwork, it's made the on-and-off waiting worth it.
Here there be an animal shapeshifter of Odin's in rotten luck, mermaids (the flesh-eating kind, of course, who can be tamed through bribes of golden apples), and diverse and queer lady pirates. It's Aydis's time across the sea, and Odin is on her trail through his spies, in revenge for her crushing his all-seeing eye at the end of the last volume. Meanwhile, the goddess Freyja and the Valkyrie Brynhild eventually meet again to discuss how they are going to defeat the wrath and rule of Odin once and for all, and protect Aydis from him.
I am a little worried now about Aydis, the main heroine, the relatable mortal warrior woman; not so much for the perils she faces in-story as her very presence being diminished and overshadowed by the other characters and their plights. Freyja, Brynhild, Brynhild's immortal male lover Sig, and Saga the horse, among others, are the guides, the shadows, the web weavers, the ones pulling the silk strings, the ones exacerbating Odin's ire and man-pain, and who have problems of their own. Aydis almost feels like a pawn, a chess piece, reactive rather than proactive, in comparison.
Aydis doesn't think or talk much about the people currently missing in her life. I have to say, her quest to find and confront the land of the gods doesn't seem to be carrying as much weight as it should. Even her sexual awakening and journey towards self-confidence are barely touched on, aside from a kiss from a POC pirate woman, in addition to her routinely working on a ship.
But she still retains a funny, sweet, naïve but determined and altruistic personality - these traits act as both her strengths and her weaknesses, depending on the situation at hand. She's cunning when she needs to be, and kind of adorable. However, Aydis causes far more trouble than victory in this volume, and she's too trusting and easily led. Nonetheless, I am rooting for this queer lady - surrounded by other oppressed, arse-kicking queer ladies - who never gives up on her lethal, gods-and-systems-destroying quest.
'Heathen: Volume 2' - a cool, adequate sequel. Though I wish the themes from the previous volume had been explored a little more -it's too short!
Like before, I'm not sure I'll be reading the third and purportedly final instalment once that's finally published. Probably not, but oh well. It's been a nice revisit to a fantasy feminist story, like greeting an old friend.
Final Score: 3.5/5

Aydis's quest to free Brynhild from Odin's curse has earned the god's wrath, and he has instructed his minions to kill her on sight.
What felt like elegance in v1 sometimes comes across in v2 as overly simple. Aydis spends much of the book voyaging across the North Sea and the author demonstrates an awkward lack of knowledge about ships and sea travel. Then there's the absurdly nonlethal pirate fight; two crews try to kill each other with pointy weapons but one group is subdued with zero bloodshed. Way too Disney.
Still, there's much to recommend this volume. I loved Odin's diatribe against the interloping Christian God, who was torturing people with plagues and floods while Odin was lifting his own up. It was an interesting exercise in perspective and added depth to the series villain.
And the illustration is again stellar, with gorgeous landscapes and creative POV's. In one scene Freyja transforms into a man, and it's a fascinating opportunity to observe how male and female forms are drawn differently, as it's the exact same character in the same pose and the same clothing but a different body.

Tanto el primer volumen de “Heathen” como el segundo son una maravilla. Y en ambos casos la historia y los dibujos vienen de la mano de Natasha. ¡Talentazo! Estoy encanta porque nos narra una historia compleja que tiene por protagonista a una joven vikinga expulsada de su poblado por besarse con otra chica. A partir de ahí empieza una aventura rodeada de dioses como Odín y la valkiria Freyja.
¿Qué os podéis encontrar entre sus páginas? Antirracismo, feminismo, empoderamiento y amor entre mujeres. Las mismas mujeres que no necesitan nunca de ningún hombre para llevar a cabo sus cometidos, ni para defenderse de las agresiones a las que se ven sometidas. Vamos, fantasía pura. La protagonista es lesbiana, la coprotagonista quiere derrocar con sus propios medios a Odín, y un personaje importante del segundo volumen es la capitana de un barco que, junto con otras compañeras, se dedica a abordar los barcos capitaneados por hombres blancos para acabar con el tráfico y esclavitud de personas no blancas.
¿Qué más os puedo decir? Es un libro apto para todos los públicos, con un dibujo muy chulo y una historia trepidante y entretenida llena de valores y que normaliza la otredad a través del dibujo y de la propia historia.

The Heathen saga continues in this second volume. A Norse Gods & Goddess retelling with lgbtqia characters.
Our female lead warrior is coming closer and closer to threatening Odin's rule. There's going to be war.
Terrific graphics and an original story, not sure if it really tees-up with Norse mythology, ancient Norse people might have been fairly progressive in this way until ancient Christians got to them.

The art style of this series is so gorgeous, and I'm still enjoying the story, but I do think the main plot is getting a little lost along the way. However, that could be because it was a month or so since I read the first volume, so maybe it's me getting lost along the way.

wow! I love this series so much. Aydis is the best fmc I have ever read and I love all the viking/mythology molded together with female rage. This volume also mixes in racism and slavery in a subtle, yet thought provoking way. I'm here for this series!

Those badass lady pirates of color!! MORE PLEASE!
I am highly enjoying this comic series!!
