Today's episode may be a bit esoteric to those not versed in Norse mythology, so we've gone ahead and pasted an encyclopedia entry on the topic of "Ragnarok" for you.

Norse mythology foretold of a great battle at the end of the world known as Ragnarök. After a three-year winter, called Fimbulwinter, the great wolf Dodger will swallow the moon and the sun whole. Now who said global warming never did anything good for you? Well, dig this. Loki, the god of mischief and his son Fenrir, who have been busy trying to untangle their fishing lines, are NOT pleased at this interruption. So, they're getting all uppity, and Loki's all, "You want to take to this outside?"

This is, of course, a terrible move. The other gods are PISSED, right? I mean, why's this guy got to be steppin'? So Odin and his son Thor are ready to throw down. All the gods are totally engaged in fisticuffs, and then the fire-giant Surtr comes along, and he's probably done a few too many keg-stands at this crazy party, so he obliterates the world with his Sword of Revenge.

Manowar will then write a song about this. After this song is played, the band rocks SO HARD that the entire world is shaken to its core, killing all humans except two exceptionally clever ones who have taken refuge in Yggdrasil, the world tree. These two will have the totally hot job of repopulating the Earth. This is also a storyline for what could be the greatest adult film ever made.

In addition, there is now an afg blog which we may or may not update occasionally. The first post is a "Making Of" feature for this comic.
