COMICMIX BRINGS DOWN HAMMER OF THE GODS II JULY 14

Brand New Adventures from Oeming, Wheatley and more!

ComicMix editor-in-chief Mike Gold today announced the launch of the next all-new on-going series, Hammer of the Gods: Back from the Dead. Written and drawn by Michael Avon Oeming (Powers, Mice Templar, Thor) and Mark Wheatley (EZ Street, Breathtaker, Frankenstein’s Mobster), the series begins running at ComicMix.com for free online every Monday starting July 14.

Hammer of the Gods: Back from the Dead continues the story of Modi, a young Viking who was given amazing powers from the Norse Gods., as well as a set of limitations.

In the 2004 graphic novel, Modi came to terms with his strengths and weaknesses, fell in love with the Valkyrie, Skogul, and became a hero. As the new series starts, Odin, the king of the Gods, decides to peek in on the world of men. He travels to China, and soon Modi and his men must follow.

In addition to the creators, there will be contributions from Neil Vokes, Guy Davis, Matt Plog, Tim Wallace, Brian Quinn, Scott Morse, Ethan Beavers, David Beck and others.

Michael Oeming said, “I’m really excited to be working with Mark and the gang on the new volume of Hammer. The best part is that people can read it for free, every week on ComicMix.”

Mark Wheatley said, "Doing the first Hammer with Mike was a huge amount of fun. And every project I’ve had fun doing has turned into something exceptional . We’re very excited to dig deeper into the Norse legends as well as open up the series to include Chinese gods, dragons and monsters."
