We’ve been lucky enough to get a couple more reviews published for Magic of Myths over the last few months, and while they’re fairly mixed on a whole, we appreciate the time and consideration taken by the reviewers to write about the series:
“Calvet’s art is, if anything, even stronger this time out: his clash of ancient power is less grim and bloody than Di Amorim gives us in God is Dead; it’s closer to a more kid-friendly version of something like 300, but even in his cartoony style, he brings intensity to the combat, and punctuates Eve’s story beats with wit and pathos, as called for.”
– CHUD [read the whole thing here: http://www.chud.com/146712/thors-comic-column-112213/]
and
“It’s full of cool references that have enough broad appeal that anyone can enjoy them but are also select enough that anyone with a more specific knowledge of myth and folklore will be able to appreciate the fan service going into the development of the story and the presence of these characters and creatures.”

Many thanks to both publications for their kind words and taking the time to review the books.

Back in 2012, Magic of Myths‘ artist Sergio Calvet created a new short story for the Magic of Myths: 2013 preview book, called A Tale of Times and Trials Past…
It was a ‘silent’ story – no dialogue at all – acting as a different ‘introduction’ to the series. And we’re happy to share that with you here, for free.

…to make up for the lack of them over the past few weeks.
Sorry for the somewhat forced radio silence – lots have been going on in preparation for Christmas, conventions and 2014, so we’ve been a tad busy. But the good news is there have been many things happening for us to talk about.
First up, we had a lovely couple of shout outs recently. The first is from our pals over at Geek Syndicate, as part of their podcast blurb:
http://castroller.com/podcasts/GeeksyndicatesPodcast/3775277
And the second is from the super kind and talented artist/comic book creator Celina Hernandez, who not only gave us a mention on her Chibi Minute video:
…but also did this rather wonderful chibi version of our main gal, Eve:

More please, Celina!
In case you missed it, Celina was also one of the excellent artists who contributed to our Magic of Myths 2013 preview book from last year, creating this gem:

Love it!
If you feel inspired to create any Magic of Myths art, do let us know and we’ll give you a shout out on this very site.
More artwork on the way in following posts as we highlight the rest of the special limited edition prints created for our season two pre-order customers…

Hard drive company Seagate may not be well known for its creative aspect, but you’d be surprised – Seagate Social covers a wide variety of creative subjects in their cool blog. And after a great chance-meeting with Jonathan (who writes the blog) at San Diego Comic-Con, Corey was asked to do an interview about Magic of Myths and the writing process.
Take a look here:

We may be quiet, but we’re still here and still working.
Those who pre-ordered their special editions of Magic of Myths: season two recently started to get their prints that came as part of the pre-order package. And we’ve had nothing but compliments for Sergio’s lovely artwork. Each print features a character from the series to date, specifically requested by the customer. And as all of them were happy with us showing you their prints, we’re going to display them here, over time.
Here are the first two…

A couple more reviews have come in for Magic of Myths (both seasons one and two):
“Utilising a cartoonish art style from Calvet accompanied by witty writing from Brotherson makes this title an easily read, enjoyable piece work… Magic of Myths seamlessly blends modern-day heroism with ancient mythology in a way that only Calliope could counter. “
– Comic Books and Cookies [read the whole thing here: http://myheartliesinfilmandcomics.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/review-of-magic-of-myths-season-one-by.html ]
and:
“I read through both seasons in one sitting and that’s always a clear indicator of a really engaging comic book… The fact that we’re not following a mainstream comic book style heroine in a bikini armour suit immediately earned points for Magic and Myths for me. There’s the overlap of familiar with an attempt to do things differently here. It works.“

Many thanks to both publications for their kind words and taking the time to review the books.
