"Heathen ...remains one of the best comics on the stands... I just want to spend more time in this world, and really, isn''t that the reaction you should have to art?" -- IGN

"Alterici''s innovative saga - about a queer Viking woman who is exiled for her sexuality and reacts by declaring war on Odin himself - initially came out in digital form only. Now, interested readers can catch up on the story''s beginning in one place with its first trade collection." -- Entertainment Weekly

"The series operates on two levels: It''s a sweeping Nordic fantasy, but it''s also a personal story about coming out and coming of age in a culture that doesn''t accept who you truly are. The intersection of those two narrative planes is what makes Heathen so engrossing, and the grander elements of the plot have more emotional impact because they are tied to Aydis'' queer awakening. -- The AV Club

"Hot take alert: Natasha Alterici is the real deal." -- Comic Bastards

"Alterici is that rarest of comic writers whose sense of story and pacing is equal to her tremendous artistic skill." -- Bitch Media
