The Medieval Comics Project, sponsored by The Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture, is an ongoing effort conducted by a small (but dedicated) group of comics scholars, Arthurian enthusiasts, and medievalists to compile a comprehensive listing of the representations of the medieval in the comics medium. The corpus is international in scope and extends as far back as (at least) the 1920s. We welcome your help in achieving our goal.

Leaves of Yggdrasil
I recently came across a new comic (available in print and on the web) called Leaves of Yggdrasil by Joe McGlone. So far, only the initial part of the series has appeared, and it introduces a young woman who is revealed as a daughter of Odin and granted three gifts by her father and, in the end, the keeping of his ravens. There are some references here to Ragnarok, but no indications of how the mythological material will feature in future storylines.
