Ann🌄ounced in late 2019, Dark Horse Comics' comic book adaptation of Neil Gaiman's prose novel Norse ღMythology will get an October 2020 debut. 

The original 2017 novel 🌃features Gaiman's take on the Norse legends, including Thor, Odin, and Loki, which was also adapted into a BBC radio dram🦩a starring Derek Jacobi and Natalie Dormer in 2018. 

What the publisher is calling an ongoing comic book series was originally announced to launch in May 2020 before COVID-1🐼9 wreaked havoc on comic book distribution. 

Ac♍cord🎀ing to the original novel's description, Gaiman's stories stayed true to the original Norse myths.

"Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin's son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki―son of a giant―blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator," it reads. 

"Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with t💎he genesis of the legendary nine worl✅ds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants."
