I LOVED THIS! I haven't instantly loved a series like this since I started Saga by Brian K. Vaughn. Firstly, the art is stunning. I have never seen more beautiful art in a graphic novel. It is bright, but clear. Realistic, but fantastical. It appeals to me on so many levels. More importantly though, the storyline instantly had me hooked. I love anything having to do with mythology of any kind, so the synopsis had me hooked before I even dived in. I was surprised and excited about the amount of gods represented in this story. It is not just the typical gods we see in a lot of fiction, such as the Greek pantheon, but many other 'lesser known' gods from other cultures were also represented. Surprising no one, my favorites were the cthonic gods, of which there are a plethora to choose from in this world.

Many people have said they found this first volume confusing, but I disagree. It's the beginning of a series and it's intentionally vague. This volume sets up a lot of things going on in this world and with the dynamics between the gods, and I am so ready for the next volume. Most mythology depicts the gods as a dramatic bunch, and this is no exception. There are so many rich, diverse, complex characters and I cannot wait to see more of them. If you enjoy Saga or other Image productions, you will most likely enjoy this. I cannot recommend it enough.This review was originally posted on Thoughts on Tomes
