Reviews

[Joseph B · Rating 4 out of 5]

Forgotten Myths, written by veteran writing Alexander Freed, manages to tell an epic, sweeping tale across three issues that sets up the events of Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Dawn of Ragnarök expansion. The tale focuses on Baldur, Odin-son, as he attempts to bring peace between two warring factions. Paired with Tunica's gorgeous art, Freed manages to get you invested in Baldur's journey despite his inevitable fate as Norse mythology fans would know. I would highly recommend reading this comic if you are into the mythological stroyline in Valhalla, as you won't be disappointed.

If you REALLY love Assassin's Creed Valhalla...
and you are plowing through the expansions...

then you'll love this prequel (of sorts) to the 'Dawn of Ragnarok' expansion. The tales of Baldr and Loki in comic book form..

W tym przypadku nie mam pojęcia jak to ma się do Assassins Creed, ale przyjemnie konsumowało się historię o bogach nordyckich i ich wojnach, relacjach oraz intrygach.

Direct prequel to the Dawn of Ragnarok expansion.
Actually provides worthwhile background information that is alluded to in the game but not elaborated on.
Very much enjoyed this.

Great medium to teach old myths to the children growing up today. Good effort by the people at Assassin Creed Games. '
