“Norse Codes” goes live

All stories need a beginning. Anakata’s second major offering, NORSE CODES, begins where Comic Noir should begin: with a dark and stormy night.

Appropriately named “The First Night”, the web comic sees its launch on our site today.

Nils and Aksel have labored for a long time to create a web comic that punches you in the gut – and that takes advantage of a few web-specific features that paper lacks.

Nils – working under the pseudonym of Peter Slin (slin – get it?) – has been working on Norse Codes for two years, and promises tht this is just the beginning.

He describes Norse Codes as “a modern fairy tale about how belief creates reality”. Five people realize that they are in fact the center of the world – and its end. But how do they fit together? What parts will they play? Who is behind it all? And what is the code?

Nils also describes Norse Codes as “a modern excuse to show how cool it would be if the Mountain King reduced the Oslo Plaza Hotel to rubble”.

Read the web comic today, and look forward to the first issue of nine, available in May. Watch this space!
