"In this second volume, Gaiman and Russell once more team with a legendary collection of artists to bring more Norse myths to life, including the origins of poetry and a mead that many will die for, Thor and Loki's eventful trip into the land of giants, the gods' woeful bargain that might lose them eternal life, and the beloved god Frey's journey to Valhalla and beyond to find a certain missing something.."--Provided by publisher.

This middle book of the series has not so much to do with cosmogony or eschatology. It's about gods in their prime, godding about and tangling with giants in various ways. The human society that first told these myths isn't much in evidence at all. A young Neil Gaiman makes a cameo as a "bad poet" in the slight modern scene that frames "The Mead of Poets." My favorite panel in the whole book was in "Thor's Journey to the Land of Giants," where a glowering Thor insists after being taunted, "I will pick up your cat." I was delighted to see later that David Mack's alternate cover for that issue showed Thor lifting the paw of the giant feline. "The Apples of Immortality" had a startling comeuppance for Loki, and "The Story of Gerd and Frey" was the one that felt the most lofty and ethereal.
