30 Days of Scans Day 28 - Favorite Canonical Romance

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

My favorite canonical romance? There can no other. Bill, Born of Bills/Kelda Stormrider. The OTPness of this couple leaps from the page and strikes with woobiness and awesome-sauce.

Here is their first meeting and I've included links to my other Bill/Kelda posts.

Let the skalds sing of their love forever! Let the the metal bands compose epic seven minute ballads about them!










The first time I read, "Bill, born of Bills." I felt the woobie and awwwww.



I've included this page because I love what Blake/Thor says to Bill.



Easily my favorite comic-romance in years. He's sweet and real, she's curious, open-hearted and really sees him. The cultural differences, the romance, the adventures and the sacrifices. Love it all.

Yea, truly, this couple demands a Meat Loaf/Jim Steinman epic power ballad, to be sung in the mead halls of Valhalla!

in my happy place bill has requested a guitar while in the halls of valhalla and is slowly figuring out how to play it while he write kelda a song. fear not! one day the epic metal ballad of bill and kelda shall be sung in the halls of valhalla!

Agreed. This was one of the best romances I've seen in comics in a LONG time.

Also: This OTP needs an icon already.

Reminds me of how Simon and Nia meet.. only without the giant mecha and Billy was in his emo-phase...

[lieut_kettch]

A seven minute epic metal ballad isn't enough to contain their awesomeness. Seven minutes will be sufficient for the guitar solo, however.

Aw Bill and Kelda, so awesome.

Who is the penciler for this? Their work is top notch.

Bill/Kelda were the best thing to come out of Thor in years (and that's saying something since I thought JMS was the best Thor run since Simonson). I hope they have their happy ending Valhalla or whatever.

Can someone explain to me what happened to Kelda in the last issue of Thor? Cause the sword, the thing with Loki, I couldn't understand any of it!
*feels dumb*
Also, Bill and Kelda, they rock!!!

There is nothing I do not love about their relationship, and about their meeting especially. I love the art, how they made Kelda so beautiful and styled in the drawings they did of Norse mythology (the side view, in fact, looks like it was taken from hundred year old pictures of a Norse [or was that Scandanavian] goddess) and how they made Bill so.... Bill 8D So simple, so adorable.

AND BLAKE'S WORDS. WOWWW.

From the other posts, well, I just died when Bill did D:
