Journey Into Mystery Journeys into History


Sif's adventures (in this particular book) come to an end. I'll miss it. Between Valerio Schiti's artwork and Kathryn Immonen's take on the warrior goddess the book was pretty much perfect. Any book that can make me want to watch the adventures of one of Volstagg's children and Heimdal's pet Helhound deserves a special kind of attention. That was a single issue between adventures, by the way. A filler issue. And I would have bought a whole series based on it.

Sif in particular was fantastic. I love the righteous fury characters, but Sif had something else going for her. She wasn't some brooding antihero. She enjoyed the testing of her skills through combat. She enjoyed fighting for her land. And she was social. Between monster fights she would have dinner with friends, or snowball fights with the Mortal kids in town.
