BITCHMEDIA -- Alterici is that rarest of comic writers
whose sense of story and pacing is equal to her tremendous artistic
skill.<br /><br />
COMIC BASTARDS -- Hot take alert: Natasha Alterici is
the real deal.<br /><br />
THE ONION A/V CLUB -- 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.<br /><br /><br />
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY -- 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.<br /><br /><br />
