Publisher Description.  This advance preview of Odin invites readers to step into the dark world of the original limited series co-created by five-time Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, Exquisite Corpses), bestselling writer Marguerite Bennett (Witchblade, Mommy Blog), and artist Letizia Cadonici (House of Slaughter).  The nine-issue series, produced by Tynion’s production house Tiny Onion and published by Image Comics, follows an undercover journalist reporting on a group of deluded Neo-Nazis foolishly seeking glory and instead facing the wrath of Norse gods. Green Room meets Midsommar with a touch of The Ritual in this relentless, no-holds-barred horror story.

The new preview selection, sharing the beginning of issue #1, starts with a visual punch: Odin disemboweled and disfigured, hangs from a tree, being pecked by a group of crows.  The next pages offer a glimpse into the journey of journalist Adela, showing her infiltration of a Neo-Nazi punk band who are following a skin map to what they believe to be their promised land where they can rise to full white supremacist power.  The series will follow in the frozen footsteps of thrill-seeking Adela as she ventures into the Norwegian forest with the Neo Nazi punks.  But what awaits them in the woods is far older and stranger than any of them can comprehend, and no gods are coming to answer their prayers.

Odin will have a main cover by celebrated comic and album artist Alex Eckman-Lawn (Exquisite Corpses, Swan Songs).  The series will also spotlight variants by series artist Cadonici and artists like Christian Ward, Martin Simmonds, Jae Lee, Annie Wu, Tula Lotay, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Wes Craig, and more.

Odin #1 will be available at comic book stops on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
