Welcome back!

We promised a preview of the coming issues, so here’s a sneaky look at Issue four of Magic of Myths – to be published in the Magic of Myths mini graphic novel, coming early 2011. We’ve been hard at work on the remaining issues to complete the first ‘season’ (essentially the first whole Chapter of the series, broken into 6 parts) and we’re nearly there. Issue four is virtually complete, with the scripts to Issue five and six almost done and artwork to soon follow.

While there are only a few issues of the season remaining, you can expect a few twists and turns between now and then, along with some revelations which will quite likely change the way you see the entire story to date. Issues one to three were just the beginning of a much, much wider tale…

Hope you enjoy this little preview. We’ll be showing off a little more of the following issues over the coming months, so why not subscribe to this blog using the link on the right and you’ll get the next update posted to your inbox as soon as it publishes.

Thanks again for all your support and see you soon…

Magic of Myths may have reached the end of its ‘free online issues’ run, but you’ve only read half of the story. The second half (along with the first three issues) will be available in a mini graphic novel which will be available in the latter part of 2010/early 2011.

So, what will happen on this site in the meantime? Well, there will be previews of the graphic novel, any reviews or appearances of Magic of Myths will be highlighted and other little features leading up to the launch of the full story.

Keep an eye out for all of these posts right here on the site. And, just as a teaser, here’s a sneak peek of some of the artwork to come in the second half of Magic of Myths…

So, we’ve reached the halfway point of Magic of Myths – with the second half coming within the next 8 months in a combined graphic novel.

But if you want to read the story so far, back to back, we understand it’s a tad tricky given the format of the issues on this site. So we’ve created a temporary ebook for you, which lets you read all three chapters in one go, quickly and easily. And if you’ve not shared Magic of Myths with your friends yet (for shame!) then this is the perfect way to introduce them to the world of Eve and mythological fantasy.

You can check out the Magic of Myths ebook right here:

Please do share the link around, and feel free to rate it and leave comments there.

Thanks as always!

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.
