The Spider King is written by Josh Vann and illustrated by Simone D’Armini, and was originally funded via Kickstarter in 2013. It was published as a graphic novel in 2016, and the “Vikings vs. Aliens” story will be released by IDW as a four-issue miniseries.”

It’s Vikings Vs. Aliens in IDW’s The Spider King #1. Equal parts science fiction and fantasy, The Spider King follows the adventures of Viking warriors as they defend their world against alien invaders. - http://idw.pub/5D Written by: Josh Vann Art by: Simone D’Armini
