NorsePlay requests a Vikingverse cartoon.

As NorsePlay does a re-watch of Thundarr the Barbarian (1980 CE) with its Conan-meets-post-apocalyptic fantasy/sci-fi, I can't help but think of Ian Stuart Sharpe's Vikingverse with its Ragnarok event that devastatingly changes the face of Midgard, something relatively similar to "a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. Man's civilization is cast in ruin." And with the fact that Jack Kirby did character design on Thundarr also brings to mind the Kirby-inspired pencils of Vikingverse artist Ger Curti: 

[p21 of the one-shot Yggdrasil: In the Beginning comic!]

The point of my drawing these two things together is that NorsePlay would like to apply its longstanding social media cred & skaldic might to request that there be a Vikingverse animated cartoon. I know the cybervikingsphere would devour that and ask for thirds, the awesome Vikingverse novels would get bought in astronomical stacks, there would be a metal lunchbox with a drinking horn-shaped mead thermaflask, and then it's only a matter of time before the live-action film gets optioned (John Boorman, you were made for this).

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
