Story and art by Grant Gould.

From Lucasfilm artist Grant Gould (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) comes the story of the war between Vikings and werewolves in this debut graphic novella!

The rise of Christianity among the north-men has frustrated Odin, Father of the Norse Gods. Out of jealousy and anger, he has transformed three of his most loyal berserkers into unstoppable beasts, and set them loose upon his traitorous "followers." Thor, God of Thunder, takes it upon himself to challenge his father's madness by aiding a loyal warrior of his own - the Viking Tyr. Along with the help of a witch and two strangers, Tyr must face the wolves and realize his own destiny!
