The Press Release:
This January, Jane Foster reunites the Valkyries to take on Knull’s army in KING IN BLACK: RETURN OF THE VALKYRIES by writers Jason Aaron and Torunn Grønbekk with art by Nina Vakueva. Together with Dani Moonstar, Hildegarde, and a brand-new mysterious Valkyrie, Jane Foster will prove that the Valkyries are amongst the greatest warriors in the Marvel Universe in an epic battle that will take readers to the afterlife and beyond! To celebrate this highly-anticipated new series, superstar artist Artgerm has delivered a variant cover featuring a stunning depiction of the original Valkyrie, Brunnhilde, called upon from Valhalla to join the fight against Knull’s unrelenting forces.

“To match the epic, dark, horrific madness that is King in Black, we’re bringing the Valkyries into uncharted territory, leading up to a battle only they can fight. This is going to be a spectacular adventure, one I can’t wait for you all to read,” Grønbekk told ComicBook.com. “I’m also tremendously excited to work with Nina on this book. The script is filled with weird and terrifying stuff, and she’s taking it in strides — her work is mindblowing!”
Check out Artgerm’s variant cover in all its glory below and pick up KING IN BLACK: RETURN OF THE VALKYRIES #1 when it hits stands on January 6th!

PiercingMetal Thoughts: This is a beautiful cover for sure but one can expect no less from the great Artgerm. I think if he did a series of collectible trading cards like Joe Jusko did way back in the day that I would buy a couple of cartons of them. Now as far as this new limited series is concerned, I’ve already spoken my piece about it in the other post but I do think it will be an exciting one just the same. In the past I wasn’t really all that keen on doing posts for single variant cover reveals but you know, its all adding to the mix on the rapidly growing Pop Culture section of the website and I just love having a lot of content. This keeps you out there in the readership scrolling around a little longer and we love that. I’ll wrap up now and ask what you think about the newest cover reveal and to see if you will be following along with this story. Chime in down below and as I’ve said in the past, please make sure that you are keeping safe out there. I feel we still have a long road to go in this whole scenario so let’s be mindful. Cheers.
