Graphic novelist Lauren R. Weinstein's latest, Goddess of War, is a sophisticated comic-book synthesis of Norse mythology, history, and contemporary angst that's both artfully crafted and funny as hell. Weinstein's hero Valerie flaunts her burgeoning femininity by stomping around in sky-high heels, and resents her responsibilities, impulsively running out on her job as warmonger and savior of soldiers — Valerie may be a goddess, but she's hardly untouchable, displaying human fragilities and neuroses. Come and get your copy of Goddess of War signed this evening and participate in talk with Weinstein as she contemplates her Valkyrie.
