The Viking Empire of King Cnut III

Middle-aged man writing comic book scripts.

Alright, here’s the deal, folks. A few months back, me and my creative buddy, we called it quits. A lot of plot jettisoned, but it did free me up to explore the counterfactual world of VIKINGS vs SAMURAI. I mean, picture this: what if our Viking protagonists were at the speartip of an empire, one that began with none other than the legendary King Cnut. And get this, this empire, it’s still kicking well into the 13th century.

Here’s the lowdown In this skein, Cnut’s daughter Gunhilda, lives, and ties the knot with Henry III. Now, you wanna talk about destiny? Their children become the cornerstone of the Viking Empire.

But here’s where the story takes a wild turn. On this Earth, King Cnut III, he has a scheme. He sends Rådulv, his loyal hound, on a secret mission to a far-off island, Tsushima. Rådulv, he’s sworn to obey, and he kicks off Ragnarök.

Hang on tight, because things are about to get real interesting!
