A small glimpse to my immediate future...

"Magic of Myths" at ComicBookResources.com!

Or to be more precise at Brian Cronin's blog Comics should be good . Magic of Myths as part of the Month of African-American Comics. In this series, Brotherson does a strong job with the concept of myths, especially modern myths, like the ones that we make up about ourselves and our lives. Are they any less powerful than the ancient myths? I suppose we will find out as the series continues. Calvet’s work evokes a nice Kirby-esque feel to it that lends the comic a good deal of charm. (...) This is an engaging series with charming artwork from the main artist. I hope to see more of Eve’s heroic journey in the future.

More "Magic of Myths" reviews

Magic of Myths Season 2 is beginning to get some attention. A couple of new reviews, one good, the other one of the mixed kind (although both of them give almost the same note in the end). "Calvet’s art is, if anything, even stronger this time out (...); 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." (You'll have to scroll down a bit to read it): http://www.chud.com/146712/thors-comic-column-112213/ "[The art] It’s cartoony and the bubblegum style feels more suited to Cartoon Network than anything else to my eyes. It lacks the visceral quality I look for, particularly in combat driven sequences. That said though, I must stress that this is very much just my artistic preferences coming to the fore. Calvet’s art is well drawn and thought out, as is Brotherson’s writing." http://www.geek-pride.co.uk/b...

Ray Harryhausen, R.I.P.

Just yesterday morning, I was working on this piece, showing and animated Kali statue, as an homage to Ray Harryhausen, one of the main influences in my design of the fantasy world shown in Magic of Myths . I didn't intended it to be a posthumous homage...

"Magic of Myths" reviews

Image
From the Magic of Myths blog and from the man Corey Brotherson himself... We’ve been fortunate enough to have a couple reviews written about Magic of Myths: season one , both positive. The first is over at Chud.com , where the book gained 3 and a half stars out of 5. You can read the review here: http://www.chud.com/54533/thors-comic-column-527/ . Reviewer Jeb Delia said: “For every clichéd post-Tolkien character or trope that we meet, Brotherson finds a way to skewer our expectations, or place a different twist on the expected… [and] Sergio Calvert’s cartoony work is a complete delight.” The second review is at GeekPlanet Online , where editor and reviewer Dave Probert called Magic of Myths: season one : “A fun, enjoyable book that will leave you wanting more.” You can read the whole thing here: http://www.geekplanetonline.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=2076:magic-of-myths&Itemid=106 Thanks to both Jeb and Dave for their time and kind words...

Each time she’s tried to rise a...

A very important message regarding "Magic of Myths"

From the man Corey Brotherson himself: I have a dream... ...well, I have many dreams. And some of them I could never repeat in public. But in the spirit of keeping this post relevant, I'm happy to announce that one dream has been fulfilled: mine and Sergio's miniseries graphic novel, Magic of Myths: season one is now on release for you to buy! Weighing in at 62 pages, the £7.99 fantasy adventure story comes complete with sketchbook art designs, pin-ups and the full script and commentary to one of the six chapters. Not bad for the first season of a miniseries, we'd say. Where can I buy Magic of Myths: season one ? Well, you have several options: You can buy a copy direct from our stand today at the Bristol Comic and Small Press Expo . Corey will be selling the book on Table 16 in Hall 3 (here's a map for you: http://www.thefallenangel.co.uk/spexpo/BICSPE%20layout%202011.jpg ). We'll only be here today (Saturday), so be sure to come over and s...
