Heathen

The series Heathen (2016–present, Literati Press) follows a viking warrior woman on a quest to rescue her lover from the goddess Freya, blending Norse mythology with a queer romance. Written and drawn by Natasha Alterici, the book is a standout for its lush, atmospheric art and its unapologetic focus on LGBTQ+ characters in a historical fantasy setting. Though it began with a single issue, its bold premise and critical acclaim quickly established it as a cult favorite among independent comics.
