Mohsen Ashraf is the writer behind, "Pantheon: The Elemental Artifact." He reached out to me about how the collected first volume will be for sale this March, and he was hoping I'd check out the comic he created with Willi Roberts on art. Having given it a read, I really enjoyed the book! It cleverly takes a variety of real-life myths from Norse, Greco-Roman, and Mesopotamian cultures and gives us a story of people in modern times grappling with these past tales-made-manifest. From secret offspring of Odin to beasts of fable fighting, a lot of wild stuff occurs.
Volume 1 has a number of powerful archaeological objects that play a big role--along with the people wanting to acquire them. Willi Roberts is a great artist, whether he's drawing everyday life in the modern day or more surreal creations, such as a hideously creepy mermaid. Ashraf and Roberts make a stellar team, and it keeps the entire first volume engaging and exciting.
I'd encourage anyone who enjoys new spins on old tales to check out this first volume of, "Pantheon: The Elemental Artifact." You can preorder a copy and give it a read this March! I am excited for future volumes as well, and thank Mohsen Ashraf for reaching out and making me aware of his book! I eagerly rate this 5 out of 5 stars.
