God Steel Comic
In an alternate history, a meteor shower containing an advanced metal alloy called Astalium (God Steel) strikes the Earth in the northern hemisphere. God Steel, first discovered by the Vikings in the 10th century, gave them the advantage needed to successfully conquer the known world. The story follows a Celtic scientist who discovers a new alloy of God Steel and uses it to craft an electromagnetic wand. She belongs to a resistance group that raises a rebellion and frees their lands from the Vikings. This new material could be the key to liberation.
