Score:
★★★★☆ (4/5)
Anytime James Tynion IV drops a new comic, it's a must-read. Add co-writer Marguerite Bennett and House of Slaughter artist Letizia Cadonici, and you know you're in for something special. Odin doesn't disappoint — it's a creepy, trippy descent into unexplained horrors that lingers long after the final page.
Adela is an undercover reporter who infiltrates a band of young Nazi punks on a pilgrimage into the Norwegian woods, seeking to summon the Norse god Odin in some misguided pursuit of white supremacist power. She narrates the story with sharp, incisive insight into each member's psychology and the group's toxic dynamics. They are resolute in their abhorrent ideology, dangerously confident in their convictions — a tight-knit friend group bound together by hate. That camaraderie makes their inevitable comeuppance all the more satisfying to witness. And that's when things get truly weird.
The latter half of the book defies easy description. What Tynion, Bennett, and Cadonici achieve in the lead-up to the cliffhanger is something closer to an immersive psychedelic fever dream — one that dissolves the boundary between reality and dark fairy tale. Cadonici's visuals orchestrate a psychological whirlwind, delivering a polished and deeply unsettling portrait of madness. It's as intoxicating to the reader as it is to the characters themselves. The crescendo on which the book closes is a final, perfectly placed hook — the kind that embeds itself in your psyche and demands you come back for more.
Odin is another entry in Tynion's growing catalog of twisted horror, and alongside Bennett and Cadonici, it shapes up to be a psychological thriller with far more secrets left to tell. It bills itself as Green Room meets Midsommar, which isn't wrong — but I'd liken it more to Almost Famous meets The Wicker Man. However you choose to frame it, Odin is a genuine page-turner.
