Back story on my commission of the All-New Warriors Three sketch cover by Erik Fidel.
The Warriors Three were in midst of deadly battle with the minions of Hel in Niflheim when both Fandral the Dashing and Volstagg the Lion of Asgard were mortally wounded. Hogun the Grim witnessed his companions being carried off to Valhalla by Brunnhilde and the Shield Maidens. After escaping the same fate, Hogun warily decides to continue on by himself for he has no real need for companions. The Warriors Three are done.
After years of traveling the realms by himself, Hogun realizes he does miss the camaraderie and conversation with his friends. The fighting was easier and the drinking was less lonely. Thor is off with his Avengers in Midgard. Sif and Beta Ray Bill have moved on into space itself. Balder has not been the same since Karnilla’s wedding freeing him from Hela.
Hogun decides it is time to create The All-New Warriors Three. Combing the Nine Realms, he found the perfect companions to join him. Let me be the first to introduce you to:
Hogun the Grim
Obélix
Astérix the Gaul
The All-New Warriors Three. Let their adventures begin, bring forth much tales to be told and glories in battles to be sung in the Halls of Valhalla itself. Odin be praised.
"These Asgardians are crazy!" - Obélix
