I am reminded of one comment I read some time ago from somebody talking about machine intelligence - tehy weren't so much interested in what art a machine would make for humans, but what they would make for one another. To some extent, this series explores that.

Imagine a book about a coming of age story starting with the death of a young Black/ Filipina victim of Robert Pickton & her journey into becoming a revenge monster from Filipino mythology. This is that book

Great conclusion to Omnibus 1. Masterful storytelling and art.

A very good overview and intro to Slavic myths from an ethnographic perspective. Some questionable conclusions but nothing too egregious considering it's really meant to be a very broad introduction.

Very good intro to the Slavic myths, with some interesting ethnographic research. Some of the research conclusions are suspect e.g. confusing Frigga and Freya p.161 but well footnoted and a great point of departure. Well worth the read.

Great story and art, I'm never disappointed by Mignola and his collabs. Looking forward to the second volume!

First half was great, second half was more familiar so I wasn't as thrilled by the retelling, having already heard it in so many voices. Still, Fry is witty and thorough; he does for Greek mythology what Gaiman did for Norse.
