Apparently oblivious to the fact that this would be the last ever issue of Imagine, the magazine seems to be firing on all cylinders at this point. With a full issue dedicated to Vikings, this is actually a good issue, with in-depth articles on Viking lore and legend and an adventure which appropriately is set during Ragnarok, the end of the world.

It was certainly Ragnarok for Imagine, which this issue decided to replace their usual film critic, Colin Greenland, for some guy called Neil Gaiman who appears to have really hated Ridley Scott’s Legend. I get it, but saying Scott “can’t direct his way out of an Andrex commercial” seems a bit of a hot take as he had already directed such titles as Alien and Blade Runner by 1985… not exactly bad films.

As usual we also get more content for the Pelinore campaign setting and as usual for a Viking themed issue, loads of ideas on how to include Viking themes in your (A)D&D. So, a fond farewell to Imagine, a magazine that while not spectacular always managed to have at least a couple of really good issues and which also had a great group of writers writing for it.
