The Great Heathen Army
Z2 Comics and Amon Amarth come together to bring you their debut graphic novel.
Sweden’s Amon Amarth represents one of the driving forces in modern
metalhead culture.
In the 9th century, a coalition of Viking warriors from Scandinavia invaded England, reaving unprecedented chaos throughout Great Britain. Death metal pioneers Amon Amarth and Z2 Comics will now present that tale in all of its carnage and mayhem in THE GREAT HEATHEN ARMY—INVASION, coinciding with the band's 2022 album. Written by Dan Watters (Lucifer, Arkham City) and illustrated by Ario Murti, this epic graphic novel captures the devastating human cost to both sides of this brutal clash.

This wants itself a historic story about a viking who participates in the Norse Invasion of England, with Amon Amarth in the background.
However:
I'm not sure about the accuracy of a good deal of the outfits. The art style is odd at times.
The story is funny, in a dark humour kind of way, but there's not much more than AMGERY VIKING HIT STUFF! VALHALLA!
Y'know, an Amon Amarth album.
All in all, it's like the Amon Amarth movie.
