If by Magic… #3 July 1, 2010

Welcome back to Magic of Myths!

It’s been a busy month for the title, managing to release (and subsequently exhaust) a few free copies of a special paperback edition of the first issue in two comic book shops, on top of us working on the third, fourth and fifth issues and a couple of things behind the scenes which you’ll know about soon enough.

So, what do we have for you on this fine July day? Well, the third issue of the miniseries is now out for your reading pleasure, right here in the season one sample, titled ‘Fairy Tales’.  Half way through the trials and Eve comes to a test of her character in a very traditional fairy tale way: a choice of three apples. One poisoned, one will turn her mad and one will allow her to progress to the next trial. But which is which? With a trickster and disturbing memories muddying the waters, will Eve make the right choice… and for the right reasons?

If you’re new to the site and the miniseries, then we kindly directly you over to reading the first and second issues of Magic of Myths at the season one sample to get you up to speed. Not that you need to – each issue is meant to read as a mini-story to itself, but you’ll get a lot more from it the more you read.

Speaking of more to read, you can also take in the exclusive behind the scenes features on both the first and second issues, here (https://magicofmyths.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/behind-the-magic-curtain-1/) and here (https://magicofmyths.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/behind-the-magic-curtain-2/) respectively.

There’s also the two-part series foreword, which provides a little history behind the conception of the miniseries here and here.

Expect another behind the scenes look at Issue three soon – and as this is the last free online issue before we start working on the forthcoming Magic of Myths graphic novel there won’t be a preview for Issue four at the end of the month, but expect previews for that and the remaining issues (the graphic novel will contain issues 1 to 6) in due time.

Thanks again for visiting and we hope you enjoy Magic of Myths.
