Valheim is expanding beyond video games once again, this time with an official comic book series featuring an impressive lineup of talent from Marvel, DC, television, and animation.

Developer Iron Gate Studio has teamed up with GUNGNIR Books and MOOD Publishing to bring its Viking survival game to comics, with the first release planned for the first quarter of 2027. The multi-issue series will feature original stories set in the world of Valheim, rather than simply retelling the events of the game.

The writing team certainly has a pretty impressive portfolio that bodes well for the series. It includes Steve Orlando (Wonder Woman, Avengers), Deric A. Hughes and Ben Raab (Quantum Leap), J. Holtham (The Handmaid's Tale, Supergirl), Brea Grant (12 Hour Shift), Tim Sheridan (Masters of the Universe), and Olan Rogers (Final Space). They're joined by TD Orel, Chris Klian, Andrew Sanders, and GUNGNIR Books founder Matthew Medney.

On the art side, Scott Oakley, Vanessa Del Rey, Lucas Pereira, and Mario Del Pennino are among the confirmed artists, with Mohamad Samah overseeing production design. More talent is expected to be announced.

According to the announcement, the series will explore the mythology of Valheim's mysterious tenth Norse realm, introducing new adventures and perspectives on its gods, monsters, and dangerous environments. Expect plenty of exploration, survival, and presumably some very unfortunate encounters with the local wildlife.

“Valheim is one of those rare worlds that feels like it existed long before we ever discovered it. There are gods, monsters, entire civilizations, and a mythology so rich that the stories we can tell feel almost endless," said Matthew Medney from GUNGNIR Books.
