Cullen Bunn, Joelle Jones and Nick Filardi’s “Brides of Helheim” #1 is a fun introduction to the new series, but one that feels a bit inconsequential in the larger scheme of things and difficult to connect to emotionally. Bunn’s story is a mostly done-in-one adventure that nicely introduces new readers to this world and then sets up another plot thread to entice readers into coming back.

The first of those two stories is part procedural and part action flick as Jane and her girlfriend, Maureen, cross paths with the Brides while investigating a series of exploding buildings. That story is preceded by a four-page prologue tale recounting the history of the Twenty-Two Brides. That four-pager alone could, and woul
