The Rebels of Vanaheim: A Marvel Legends of Asgard Novel Paperback – December 21, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
The dead have returned.
Odin, All-Father of Asgard, dispatches the heroic warrior Heimdall and the Valkyrie Uschi to eliminate a mysterious infestation of draugr – the living dead – in the proud realm of Vanaheim. Yet his home is not as Heimdall remembers it. Anti- Asgardian sentiment is rife, and the arrival of just two warriors from Asgard to deal with the draugr threat only incenses its people further. With rebellion growing in Vanaheim, Heimdall must investigate this conspiracy and the undead, even if it pits him against his own kin, to preserve the peace of the Realm Eternal.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Heimdall versus shape-shifting zombies… Of course I wanted to read this!!!" -- Simply a Book Drunkard
"The inclusion of draugr, dwarves and named swords of power makes for a classic fantasy tale filled with adventure and high-stakes. Byers shines in this regard, and what he presented here makes me interested in seeking out more of his work." -- Martin's View
"It has well-rounded characters and vivid scene-setting, with plenty of sorcery and magical weapons to satisfy fans, and a nail-biting climax. Richard Byers writes in dense, fluid language which demands close attention but which never bores, and it is always a joy to escape into the world that he has created." -- Kid Ferrous Reviews

Norse mythology is intriguing and somewhat dark. This graphic novel met all of my expectations and more. The story isn't focused on Thor nor Loki, this is Heimdall's time to shine and an introduction into the Valkyrie. I hope this becomes a series on Disney Plus.
The dead never really stays dead in the Marvel universe. That is how it frequently feels, at any rate. Especially now, as the dead find their way back into other realms. Odin has assigned Heimdall and the Valkyrie to get to the core of this problem. Ideally, while dealing with the horde of zombies, that is.
To do so, the two must travel to Vanaheim. Yet things are not as they expected. This is surprising, given the knowledge and history of our two heroes. There shouldn't be any surprises in store for them...and yet...
Marvel fans unite! The latest Marvel Legends of Asgard novel is here, and I am living for it! The Rebels of Vanaheim brings forth two of my favorite Asgardians, Heimdall, and the Valkyrie. Seriously, I don't think they could have picked a better pair for this story or in general.
Okay, the idea of seeing these two battle zombies together is pretty appealing, I'm not going to lie. So I'm probably a little bit biased when I say that I enjoyed this book. It is full of action, a bit of chaos, and a lot of zombies. In short, it's the perfect dead/undead Marvel novel.
The Rebels of Vanaheim is made all the better by giving readers a chance to actually get to know our heroes. There's Heimdall, who I will never complain about learning more of. And then there's the Valkyrie, aka Ushi. In this novel, she's the Valkyrie Captain, and I absolutely adore her. It was refreshing to take a moment and see some character development before throwing them back into the fray.
Now that I'm done reading The Rebels of Vanaheim, I can't help but find myself hoping that we'll see another novel focused on this pair once again. I know that the odds aren't great – there are so many Marvel heroes, and they all deserve a moment in the spotlight, but I can't help but hang onto that hope.
I like that Byers brought back a really old Marvel villain. I really enjoyed the camaraderie between Heimdall and Uschi. It was great how much of the mystical side of Asgard Byers incorporated. Loved all of the magic weapons and powers of the different characters. All in all, this was really good. These novels continue to impress.
Received a review copy from Aconyte and Edelweiss. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned.
