Summary

Once there was an entire army of Valkyries， but now Jane Foster is the only one。 And when Knull and his symbiote horrors come to Earth， all Jane sees when she looks at our big blue planet…is a vision of death。 To help stop the King in Black， Jane must rebuild the Valkyries — starting with Hildegarde， a warrior from Asgard’s hallowed halls， and the X-Man Dani Moonstar， a former Valkyrie herself。 But what Jane doesn’t know…is that she never was the only Valkyrie after all！ Who is the fourth warrior？ Meanwhile， unknown to Jane， Knull’s power has spread across the galaxy and infected creatures even older than the gods…and it may not matter how many Valkyries Jane can bring to their aid！

3。5 Stars。A King in Black tie-in that strongly doesn't focus on Knull。。。 a breath of fresh air。 It's pretty straight forward though。 Jane Foster is the only Valkyrie currently alive， but she knows she needs help， so she sets out to rebuild the force。 Recruited are Hildegarde （an Asgardian non-Valkyrie warrior）， Dani Moonstar （a mutant with psychic powers who used to be a Valkyrie）， and Runa （one of the first ever Valkyries who has been trapped inside the corpse of a Celestial for a very long tim 3。5 Stars。A King in Black tie-in that strongly doesn't focus on Knull。。。 a breath of fresh air。 It's pretty straight forward though。 Jane Foster is the only Valkyrie currently alive， but she knows she needs help， so she sets out to rebuild the force。 Recruited are Hildegarde （an Asgardian non-Valkyrie warrior）， Dani Moonstar （a mutant with psychic powers who used to be a Valkyrie）， and Runa （one of the first ever Valkyries who has been trapped inside the corpse of a Celestial for a very long time， given an appearance very close to Tessa Thompson's version of Valkyrie in the films）。 Working together to sever the connection of power between Knull's Necrosword and the Celestial's corpse， it ultimately takes Runa reclaiming Jarnbjorn （the axe that Thor used when he was "unworthy" of Mjolnir） and the Valkyries returning from Valhalla to assist。Good read， but not vital to the overarching story。Recommend。。。。 but only for completionists。 。。。more

I really liked this book more than I thought I would。 These are not my favourite group of characters or my favourite artwork， but stories about redemption and overcoming not just incredible odds but your own inner demons is what always make a hero （or heroines in this case） for me。The Earth is in big trouble， the world has all but bee conquered。 The most powerful hero has fallen， and us about to recive his eternal reward。 What can the last of the Vakyries hope to achieve？ With the help of her fo I really liked this book more than I thought I would。 These are not my favourite group of characters or my favourite artwork， but stories about redemption and overcoming not just incredible odds but your own inner demons is what always make a hero （or heroines in this case） for me。The Earth is in big trouble， the world has all but bee conquered。 The most powerful hero has fallen， and us about to recive his eternal reward。 What can the last of the Vakyries hope to achieve？ With the help of her forgotten， and dead sister there might be a chance， but will even that be enough？A great story for me carried this book to five stars I hope the other King in Black books are as good。 Can't wait to see what happens next。 The book also contains a varient cover gallery， a sketch book and even a short backup story。 。。。more

This is as much a continuation of the Jane Foster: Valkyrie series as it is a King in Black tie-in， and it’s all the better for that。 Lots of action， some nice character moments （（view spoiler）[the scene with Jane and her dead son was heartbreaking （hide spoiler）] and even a few laughs along the way。The artwork was pretty great， too。 Nina Vakueva has a really expressive brush and a great sense of composition。 I love the Sienkiewicz influence， particularly on the scenes featuring Dani Moonstar。On This is as much a continuation of the Jane Foster: Valkyrie series as it is a King in Black tie-in， and it’s all the better for that。 Lots of action， some nice character moments （（view spoiler）[the scene with Jane and her dead son was heartbreaking （hide spoiler）] and even a few laughs along the way。The artwork was pretty great， too。 Nina Vakueva has a really expressive brush and a great sense of composition。 I love the Sienkiewicz influence， particularly on the scenes featuring Dani Moonstar。One thing confused me a little， though， and that’s the introduction of the new， as yet nameless， black Valkyrie。 I’d chalk it up to them feeling they have to introduce the movie versi0n of Valkyrie for the benefit of MCU noobs… but they’ve already introduced her in Exiles。 I’m happy to see where they’re going with the character but it does feel a bit like the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing。Anyway， this book has really whet my appetite for the new Valkyrie book。My next book: Billy Summers 。。。more

I loved the Jane Foster Valkyrie series so much and it took me so long to understand the next volume wasn’t coming out because it got canceled。 So it being continued as a tie-in to an all-penetrating comic book event extravaganza like King in Black is not ideal， but dammed if it didn’t work out pretty well。 Happy to read the continuing adventures of Jane Foster， long may she Valkyrie about。

Best is that you read the main event and know what has happened in the venom （2018） storyline （the origin of the head of Knowhere - featured frequently in guardians of the galaxy） and also know what happened in the mighty thor and the war of the realms。。。Difficult comic which cannot stand on its own。 Read only if you follow the Jane Foster storyline and this comic sets the stage for the new Mighty Valkyries series which will be bundled as paperback #1 in October 2021。

Jane Foster heads into the afterlife in a bid to cut off the King In Black's power at its source， running into a long-lost （and familiar looking） valkyrie along the way。The problem with this mini-series is that it relies too much on melodramatic description boxes rather than actually showing us all the cool stuff that the Valkyries are doing。 There's a good idea in here somewhere， but it's overwritten to the point that I was losing interest midway through and just reading the actual dialogue。 Ni Jane Foster heads into the afterlife in a bid to cut off the King In Black's power at its source， running into a long-lost （and familiar looking） valkyrie along the way。The problem with this mini-series is that it relies too much on melodramatic description boxes rather than actually showing us all the cool stuff that the Valkyries are doing。 There's a good idea in here somewhere， but it's overwritten to the point that I was losing interest midway through and just reading the actual dialogue。 Nina Vakueva's artwork's pretty good， although the fact that most of the action takes place in a formless white void doesn't really give her very much to do in the later issues。Aaron and Gronbekk's Valkyrie stuff that preceded this was far better。 I'm not sure if it's the King In Black-ness of it that derailed this volume or not， but I hope the follow-up can recover。 。。。more

I originally picked up the Jane Foster Valkyrie titles in large part because Al Ewing was a co-writer and he is my favorite comic writer going。 When he left the run 7 issues in， I was really quite disappointed。So i was pleasantly surprised to discover how much I enjoyed this one。 This particular volume manages to tell a decently compelling story despite being a tie-in to an event I’m not reading， and touches on themes of grief and hope and perseverance。 It also introduces a Valkyrie based on Scr I originally picked up the Jane Foster Valkyrie titles in large part because Al Ewing was a co-writer and he is my favorite comic writer going。 When he left the run 7 issues in， I was really quite disappointed。So i was pleasantly surprised to discover how much I enjoyed this one。 This particular volume manages to tell a decently compelling story despite being a tie-in to an event I’m not reading， and touches on themes of grief and hope and perseverance。 It also introduces a Valkyrie based on Scrapper 142 from the Thor: Ragnarok film， and that is delightful。Looking forward to the next miniseries！ 。。。more
