Valhalla (Comic Book)	comment	Valhalla is a Danish comic series by Henning Kure (script) and Peter Madsen (script and artwork) that chronicles the stories of the Norse gods in a mostly lighthearted and humorous way. It started out as a newspaper comic, the first story, Cry Wolf, being printed as a serial strip in the Danish newspaper Politiken in 1978 and then the following year being collected and reprinted in album format.From 1979 to 2009, fifteen albums (and one animated feature by A. Film, released in 1986) were produced, during which all the major and most of the minor known myths are covered in one way or the other.The albums are, as follow: Ulven er Løs ("Cry Wolf") Thors Brudefærd ("Thor's Wedding") Odins Væddemål ("Odin's Wager") Historien om Quark ("The Story of Quark") Rejsen Til Udgårdsloke ("The Journey to Utgards-Loki") De Gyldne Æbler ("The Golden Apples") Ormen i Dybet ("The Serpent in the Abyss") Frejas Smykke ("Freya's Necklace") Den Store Udfordring ("The Big Challenge") Gudernes Gaver ("The Gifts for the Gods") Mysteriet om Digtermjøden ("The Magic Mead") Gennem Ild og Vand ("Through Fire and Water") Balladen om Balder ("The Ballad of Balder") Muren ("The Wall") Vølvens syner ("The Vala's Visions")

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_113480b7	type	Canon Foreigner
Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_113480b7	comment	Canon Foreigner: Quark, the ill-tempered Jotunn kid, does not appear in any of the original myths but was invented for the series. He appears in The Movie and the two albums based on it, as well as some background appearances in other albums. For a while was considered the Breakout Character, starring his own animated TV series and newspaper comic, but he avoids becoming The Scrappy largely because his actual appearances in Valhalla are so sparse. He mostly shows up for small cameos in the background, and the one story where he actually plays a major role (the one of the film and album 4 and 5), he's mainly there to create more drama in a myth which did not have that much to begin with. A running gag from the second album on is one-off jotunn characters named after dairy products, such as Hquark. This started after Madsen realised that Hymir/Hymer's name sounded similar to the dairy product Ymer with an H in front. Rolf Herringskin, Tyr's sergeant, is a recurring minor character original to the comic. He seldom has any real role in the plot, but is occasionally used for exposition or comedy relief.

(The actual myths give them little to no characterisation at all.) Unlike in the original story they also don't give away their power willingly, and have to be forced by Odin upon his return. Hoenir in the eleventh album is behind Mimir and Gilling's murders; he has been given a complete personality reversal from the myths, going from a quiet Extreme Doormat to a Jerkass Control Freak.

Zig-zagged with Skadi, who marries Njord but separates from him because their needs and lifestyles turn out to be incompatible.

Odin is probably the clearest example of the trope; he usually doesn't bother to get involved in anything unless there's something in it for him personally — and when there is, he'll lie, cheat, steal and sleep around to get what he wants — but he does have his own moral code that he follows very strictly, and when it comes down to it he does ultimately have everyone's best interests at heart.

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_23473ae7	type	Adaptation Expansion
Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: Lots of extra plot threads and characterizations are added to the original myths. The Movie was adapted into the fourth and fifth album, which greatly expands on its story, adding many new scenes and more properly explains things that might seem a little nonsensical in the movie itself. "Through Fire and Water" was made by amalgamating two distinct tales, both of whom involved a villain with the same name, Geirrod (one a Jotun king and the other an evil human king). In this case both villains are the same person, with one tale (of the human king capturing Odin) leading into the other (Thor goes to hunt him down and is opposed by the villain's twin jotunn daughters). "The Wall" is similarly an amalgation of two stories, one being the tale of Skirner (here revealed to be Tjalfe under a pseudonym) courting Gerd on Frey's behalf, and the story of how the wall around Asgard and how Sleipnir came to be. Gerd's father and the wall-builder is revealed to be the same Jotun, who originally tried to build the wall in order to trap the Aesir inside of it and leave the Jotuns free to run the rest of the world.

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_3b113b7	comment	Character Development: Heimdall undergoes this in Freya's Necklace. Previous volumes cast him as a pompous, cowardly fool, but Freya's charms cause a more sensitive, chivalrous, and even thoughtful side of his character to come to the surface. Not to mention the fact that when he realizes the extent of Loki's mischief he goes on a rampage, finally proving that the titles he keeps harping on about (The All-Seeing Aesir, The All-Hearing Aesir) aren't just for show. Tyr goes through in The Serpent in the Abyss, becoming a lot less self-righteous after a Heroic BSoD makes him realize the damage his unhappy upbringing has caused him mentally and how he tried running away from facing it again. Tjalfe and Røskva also go through noticeable development over the course of the series; Tjalfe gradually becomes less foolish and insensitive, and more inclined to think before he acts, while Røskva goes from a naive little child to a far more insightful and intelligent young lady.

They even complain about Aesir's bathing customs, saying that they stink of soap. There are a few jotunns who like to stay clean, but this is treated as a serious flaw with them (and is often treated as a hint that they fit better in with the Aesir) — one of Tiassi's main complaints about his daughter Skadi is her "nasty habit" of bathing regularly. Gerd too likes being clean; at least she is introduced taking a bath and clearly enjoying it, though in her case her father is a lot more doting and seems willing to overlook this un-jotunnlike habit. It's revealed that Tyr as a kid was a Neat Freak who not only bathed but cleaned the house regularly. His jotunn parents were not pleased.

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_40bb59d0	comment	Blatant Lies: Loki (naturally) is prone to this. He denies being the mother of Sleipner, but all evidence points to him having given birth to the horse. In an earlier comic he tries to explain Fenrir's appearance the same way thus implying that he is the father of the wolf as well. He also denies being Hel's father to her face, but as far as we know this is a lie as well. The only times he expresses any interest in sex it is, indeed, blatant lies as he is merely trying to get the women in question to cooperate in their own kidnapping or into giving him a lock of hair for his bet.

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_55a6f933	comment	Chased Off into the Sunset: One of the albums ends this way. Earlier in the story, Loki lures a giant's horse away to make sure the giant can't complete a bet. He does this by disguising himself as a mare — and months later, comes back with a gift for Odin, the eight-legged steed Sleipnir. Loki runs into the male horse again at the end of the story and promptly flees for his life with the horse in pursuit. It happens again with Loki in the very last album. He escapes his fate at Ragnarokk and believes himself to be the last god alive. After lamenting the loss of his friends, he can't resist spouting some post-mortem insults about Thor and Heimdall... only to discover that they are Not Quite Dead after all. The last we see of Loki in the series is him once again running for his life as Thor chases him with his cart.

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_7453bc5b	comment	Spared by the Adaptation: Several characters who die in the original myths live in the comic. Loki deserves special mention. In the original myths, after killing Balder and taunting the gods, he is bound and imprisoned in an underground cave with a snake dripping poison in his face, and does not get free until Ragnarok, when he leads the attack on Asgard and is killed by Heimdall. In the comic, where Loki is far less malicious, these things are all alluded to and given Shout Outs, but do not actually happen. In the myths, Hoedir is killed by Vali after he kills Balder, but Vali has been Adapted Out, and whereas in the myth Balder's death had to be avenged even though it was clearly an accident, in the comic the gods don't even seem to think to blame Hoedir. Frigg even comforts him and assures him that it wasn't his fault. Geirrod's two Jotunn daughters survive their encounter with Thor, ending up with just a creaky back and unable to walk unaided.

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_8fdd68fc	comment	Self-Serving Memory: Both Thor, Sif and Loki display this in the Whole Episode Flashback album 10, Gifts for the Gods. All three of them are telling the children a story from their youth, and all three of them remember events slightly differently. Notably, Thor and Sif spend most of their story inverting this trope, showing their Love at First Sight (which was mutual) through portraying themselves as young and awkward and bumbling while the other is portrayed as a divine figure of perfection. Loki, on the other hand, plays the trope completely straight; in his version of the story he's always cool, witty and in perfect control of the situation — but Thor and Sif portray him as far more cowardly and bumbling.

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_8ff8d545	comment	Kissing Cousins: Possibly an oversight on the author's part, but since Loki is the blood-brother of Odin and explicitly calls himself "uncle Loki" around Odin's sons, Baldur and Hel's relationship becomes this. Of course, Loki passionately denies being Hel's father, being rather indignant at the suggestion, claiming that he's the victim of slander. Since this particular version of Loki is pretty much asexual, and the same album also shows that thanks to his self-serving and untrustworthy nature, he does tend to get the blame for things that really weren't his fault, the comic never truly answers whether he actually is Hel's father or not.

Tyr completely rejects the idea, getting into a shouting match with Sif on what a burden it is to be a man, but Thor does seem to take her words to heart. Both Odin and Heimdall go through this in Freya's Necklace as they both realize they do not understand that to love someone involves giving yourself to them in both body and soul — Odin had only been interested in the bodily matters while Heimdall had naive and harmful expectations about sex (or the lack thereof) in a courtship. Balder more openly undergoes one at the end of The Ballad of Balder, when he realizes how Innocently Insensitive he's been towards his blind brother Hoedir.

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a	comment	Loki deserves special mention. In the original myths, after killing Balder and taunting the gods, he is bound and imprisoned in an underground cave with a snake dripping poison in his face, and does not get free until Ragnarok, when he leads the attack on Asgard and is killed by Heimdall. In the comic, where Loki is far less malicious, these things are all alluded to and given Shout Outs, but do not actually happen.

While they haven't been done away with altogether, the tone is overall more positive and friendly, and there is nary a Downer Ending to be seen over the course of fifteen albums, even the ones adapting some of the bleaker myths. Who would have thought you could take the story of Balder's death, and give it a happy ending that didn't feel like a cheap cop-out?

Both survive the ensuing melee. When the Jotun hosts of Geirrod learns that Thor's there, they immediately leave at once, alongside Geirrod's own daughters (who were badly beaten by Thor himself).

Freyja and Sol are combined into a single goddess, as are Frigg and Jord. (This reflects some actual theories about these goddesses.) Røskva is revealed to be the same as the titular völva of Völuspa. A flashback in Freya's Necklace reveals Freya's husband Odd was Odin in disguise, who left her after the wedding night. It's implied Freya is by this point well aware of his identity and uses their courtship as a warning tale to Odin about the nature of love.

Valhalla (Comic Book) / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Exact Words: Like in the original myth, when Brokk wants Loki to bet his head, he means betting his head. The comic shows Loki's thought process in thinking he's being metaphoricalnote 'betting your head' in old Norse society usually meant 'the price on your head', i.e. a sum of money befitting of your wealth and station and, of course, his dismay at learning he's not. Like in the original myth, Loki gets out of it by pointing out that the bet never was about his neck. In the same story, Loki gets a dumb Troll to dig up a hole trap for him, in exchange of "this bag" (his money purse) and all the dirt he can dig out: when the Troll finishes the job, Loki empties the bag and hands it to him. Played for Laughs in "The Wall" when a builder wants (amongst other things) the "Sun and the Moon" as his price for building the wall. After said builder is exposed as a Jotun trying to trick the gods, Thor catches up to him and says the rest of his contract is forfeit but he will be getting the sun and the moon... As well as a few stars.

Luckily Vidar, who shows up in the nick of time to help them, and whose strength is comparable to Thor's own, did bring a weapon.

He has a bit of a Heel Realization about this at the end of The Ballad of Balder. Thor has moments of this as well. While more a Jerk with a Heart of Gold than the sweet-natured Balder, quite a few of his Jerkass moments are just a result of him simply not realizing that he's behaving badly. Occasionally he seriously insults or upsets people when he thinks he's being helpful and encouraging.
