HEATHEN follows Aydis, a viking, warrior, outcast, and a self-proclaimed heathen. Aydis is a rescuer of the immortal Valkyrie Brynhild and battler of demons and fantastic monsters. Aydis is a woman. Born into a time of warfare, suffering, and subjugation of women, she is on a mission to end the oppressive reign of the god-king Odin.

"The entire HEATHEN team and I are incredibly excited about adapting my little lesbian viking comic for film,” said HEATHEN creator, Natasha Alterici. “I've been a film fanatic for longer than I've been a comics fans, and that my working in one format would lead to another is nothing less than a dream come true."

“Natasha has created an instant classic which smartly ties into the current socio-political zeitgeist while being a first rate timeless adventure story,” said Adrian Askarieh. “Not only is it  a great passion of ours to bring HEATHEN to the big screen, but also a true honor.”

"HEATHEN is truly one of those “lightning in a bottle” ideas and it’s easy to see why Vault is already on their second printing of the trade paperback. Natasha’s ability to take classic themes and characters and present them in a fresh new way speaks volumes about her talent as a creator,” said F.J. DeSanto.

"HEATHEN had me from the very first panel, and I remain completely hooked,” said Vault Publisher, Damian Wassel. “It's not just an amazing comic, it contains all the ingredients for a truly magnificent film adaption: striking settings, an unexpected story, and a small cast of fascinating, fully-realized characters."

"Natasha Alterici is a creator for our age and it is thrilling to witness a storyteller rewarded for so boldly wielding her voice,” said Tim Daniel. “We're extremely gratified that both Natasha and HEATHEN call Vault Comics home. May their journey serve as a signal fire for other creators seeking to pursue their comic book dreams."
