Line 126: * The eponymous character of Pat Mill's ''[[Slaine]]'' comics is almost a straight expy of Cú Chullain. Same battles with Queen Medb, same barbed death spear, same horrible body-warping berserker rage. The whole series mixes Celtic Mythology with some [[Conan the Barbarian]], some [[Eldritch Abomination\|Lovecraftian horror]] and a titch of Neo-pagan spirituality. Season with a punk rock aesthetic and serve. * In a [[Marvel Comics]] ''[[The Mighty Thor\|Thor]]'' miniseries ''Thor: Blood Oath'', Thor and the Warriors Three are tasked with retrieving a spear called Slaughter from the Irish gods. The spear appears to be a combination of the Spear of Lugh and Gae Bolg. It's kept in a cauldron of blood to prevent it from killing anyone who happens to be nearby and is wielded by Chulain, though it doesn't have any extending barbs. * [[Franco Belgian Comics]] have had a large influx of Celtic Myth and Folklore-inspired titles in the [[Turn of the Millennium]] that is still going strong; in fact, one of the largest "bandes dessinées" publishers, Soleil, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130215194056/http://soleilceltic.com/ has a whole sub-imprint just for those]. This is hardly surprising given that before Roman conquest France and Belgium were Gaul, the largest and most populous of the celtic lands, so it can be seen as going back to their roots (also a ready-made source of inspiration to help stay competitive in the face of [[Manga]], which is [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff\|extremely successful there]]). == Film - Animated == Line 168: [[Category:Dark Age Europe]] [[Category:Useful Notes/Ireland]] [[Category:~~Oral Tradition~~Religion]] [[Category:Celtic Mythology]]
