How time flies.
Yes, Magic of Myths has turned the ripe old age of three since the first issue (Issue one ‘Lord, What Fools These Mortals Be’, from season one) was released. It’s been a long and occasionally bumpy road, but we’re happy and grateful to have had your support over these years.
So, to celebrate, we’re going to do a little giveaway.
Magic of Myths: season two is closer to launch than you may think – we’ll be announcing the date, cover and title very soon on this site.
In fact, it’s so close that we’re giving three people the chance to read a digital version of it before launch.
For free.
All you need to do is send us an email at magicofmyths@gmail.com. That’s it. First come, first served.
The first three will get their digital pdfs as soon as the book is complete, which means you’ll get to read it before anyone else.
Ready? Go!

Another, early look at some Magic of Myths: season two pencil artwork?
Sure, why not.
We won’t say what’s going on in this spread, but needless to say, things take a rather dramatic turn in Eve’s journey. And what she comes across changes the direction of her life forever…

Free digital copies of Magic of Myths to celebrate International Women’s Day… and MoM’s day March 8, 2013

Inspired by the good people over at Magic of Myths’ ‘half-sister site’ Unseen Shadows, we’ve decided to celebrate International Women’s Day 2013 by giving away digital copies of Magic of Myths: season one and Magic of Myths: 2013 preview for free. There really aren’t enough female driven comics out there, so we’re very proud to be creators of a growing graphic novel series.
However, we’re not just celebrating International Woman’s Day 2013 – this Sunday is also Mother’s Day in the UK and Ireland (and also Nigeria, for our overseas representatives 😉 ). So, to celebrate that – or MoM’s day, if you’d like (oh how we’ve waited to re-use that one) – as well, we’re extending this free offer until Monday 11th March 2013.
Free comics for International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day – enjoy!*

*Corey was also looking for a good reason to give away free comics other than it being his birthday and Magic of Myths: season two being a few months off launch… so, huzzah!

“It’s a surprisingly thoughtful and contemplative book” – Another Magic of Myths review January 31, 2013

It’s always nice to start the new year with some good news, so we’re happy to see that Magic of Myths: season one has got another positive review to its name – this time over at the New Readers… Start Here! blog:
“Magic of Myths feels like it’s been written from the heart, like it’s really important to Brotherson, and so it’s a surprisingly thoughtful and contemplative book. I say surprising, because the art is quite cartoony and if you just swept your eye over the page you would probably think this was a simple, lighthearted read, however it is far more than that.“
Many thanks to Saranga for her time and the kind review.

Sergio’s added some colour to our first double page spread for Magic of Myths: season two – so now you can see it in all its sunset-hued, gory glory:

During our creative discussions for season one, we decided to give the gods a bronze or gold plated (depending on their allegiance) statue look to add to their glittering – or tarnished – larger than life visage. As big fans of the legendary Ray Harryhausen, this double page spread brings together our references to his work, as well as being a big moment for the story.
We won’t give away much more info on this spread, but if you’re wondering (quick bolded clue, there for DC Comics fans) who the vicious lady with the sword is in the battle – that would be Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt and the moon…
