Kalevala
Stories from the Kalevala (the book of Finnish Mythology) featuring acts of daring and adventure by great heroes such as the warrior bard and wizard Väinämöinen, the skilled blacksmith and eternal hammerer Ilmarinen, the handsome Lemminkäinen and the jealous Joukahainen.
Unlike the Norse mythology of Scandinavia, Iceland, Germany and elsewhere, Finnish mythology featured a different set of gods and a different creation story. However, one can consider both Norse and Finnish mythology to be Nordic Mythology.

This may not become a series and may remain as a standalone mini comic. There are many Kalevala comics out there already that tell the stories, not to mention audiobooks and even Folk Metal bands (such as Ensiferum). I hope I can at least open the door to a new field of interest to folk who enjoy learning about stories from around the world.

Year in Hereafter
A fantasy tale built on the foundations of the Finnish folklore and national epic, Kalevala. The story is set to happen between two parallel realities:
Our Earth of 2015, and a fictional sister realm based on the epic's stories. This parallel world thus has been named to its namesake, known as the Northern Continent of Kalevala.
