Description
Drafted into a war he has no desire to fight, infantryman Private Andersen’s only goal is to make it out of World War I alive – a task made much more difficult when he’s ordered to cross enemy lines on an explosive secret mission. His unit never makes it to their destination. Instead, they unwittingly free a group of ancient Viking Gods, imprisoned for centuries by Loki’s children, Fenrir and Hel.
Mad as hell and tearing for a fight, the Gods, led by brave Henrik, decide to conquer Earth and bring about Ragnarok. With a deadly skill for knotty subterfuge inherited from their legendary father, Loki’s children have a few tricks left to play, and the fate of the world may rest on reluctant Andersen, thrust into yet another war with consequences on a mythic scale.
Full of mystical battles, historical detail, and the power of human frailty, ingenuity, and heroism, BLOODY HEL gives new meaning to “the war to end all wars” with a shattering apocalyptic throwdown in the trenches, millennia in the making!
A Note From the Publisher
"Band of Brothers" meets "Vikings".
• SHOWSTOPPING ART: McCormack’s expressive, detailed linework gracefully spans lived-in historical action and widescreen mythological fantasy, often both on the same page.
• THRILLING ACTION: While its WWI premise already raises the stakes, McCormack’s accomplished script jumps headfirst into an epic battle between Norse Gods that keeps up the relentless page-turning pace.
• AUTHENTIC WORLD-BUILDING: Maintains a consistent narrative flow through wild genre elements without ever feeling forced or gimmicky. BLOODY HEL is an immersive experience in a fully realized fantasy world.
• RESONANT THEMES: Humanity’s ability to create our own hell and salvation is subtly woven through each battle scene, telling a meaningful story about one man’s fight to reject personal glory in favor of the global good, life instead of senseless destruction.
• HORROR WITH PURPOSE: Perfect for fans of dark war stories and violent horror with depth and purpose – not for the faint of heart but awesome for anyone who loves exciting “metal” visuals and thoughtful genre work.
