An interesting concept with a lot of potential. There were moments that drew me in, but others that felt a bit uneven. Some characters stood out, while others could’ve used more depth. A solid start, but there’s room to grow in future volumes.

This was pretty unique, there is a massive cast of characters and it's a big story. The plot moves quickly and gets sort of chaotic but it's engaging. The art is great and I loved all the Greek myths

Volume 1 of God Tier by Mario Long & Kuroi:

What a fun read! This action/fantasy manga puts a contemporary spin on the Olympic Gods. Our main character, Pablo Costello, and his sister, are stuck between riots, gods, and monsters. Such an action-packed read. I loved the origin stories for some of the monster characters and revolving point of views.

I wasn’t ready for the cliffhanger, but I’ll be eagerly waiting for Vol. 2! ⚡️

Thank you NetGalley and Mad Cave Studios for the ARC!

Honestly I'm not sure how to feel about this book. While the story was interesting and has lots of interesting myths and lore, I just really didn't connect with it. I do however believe the story plot and way it was executed was well done!

My thaks to NetGalley and Mad Cave Studios- Nakama Press for an advance copy of this graphic novels about Gods, demi-gods, civilization in decay and how much violence lays just below the surface of so many people, violence just looking for a reason to burn everything down.

I have taken a few classes on mythology and it is amazing how Greek myths have influenced so much in the arts, especially the arts of today. The Marvel Cinematic Universe and well the DC attempt to make a good superhero move owes much to the ideas of gods intermingling with man. Of gods fighting for an against humans, taking sides in battles they weren't wanted, and dragged out battles for much longer than they needed to be. One might hope that trickster gods are involved in American politics right now. This at least would explain much of what is going on. There stories have been adapted, changed to fit the times when needed, and still in many entertain. However gods, like social influencers and politicians have a dark side. Sometimes as a trusted butler once said, they just want to see the world burn. As in this story. God Tier Vol. 1: PREY is written by Mario B. Long and illustrated by Kuroi and tells of a world were the Greek gods never really went away, and decide that maybe now is a good time to remind the world of their power, and their destructive ways.

The book begins with the Titans, the creatures that preceded the Greek gods arising from their prison in the Earth and crushing all they see. This alternate Earth has never forgotten the Gods of the past, and might be facing extinction at their hands, again. Maybe even a new beginning. The cast of the story gradually comes together. A woman reporter has an interview with Poseidon, and something more that destroys both her career, and her ideas of who she is. a Football player messes with the wrong person, and becomes a minotaur. Cops are facing street gangs joining together, which is not a good thing as street protests are getting a little out of hand. There is a big protest planned for the night, and a young boy warns his family, that his invisible friend tells him things will go wrong. Soon the night is one fire, people are dying and gods are clashing with each other, as a mysterious figure enjoys the chaos, and plans to remake the world.

A big story with a big cast and a lot going on. Once readers get a feel for the story it gets easier to follow, in the beginning there is a lot to take on. Things move fast with plots getting bigger, and the story moves well even at the most chaotic, with a city on fire, people fighting and demigods blasting through walls and each other. An understanding of the Greek myths will help alot, especially with some of the names, and the characters that arise. Though it isn't necessary. The art is real good, the characters are all clear and defined, along with cityscapes and the technology. I really liked the crispness of the art, which added a lot to the story.

The book is a little spicy, so be warned. Especially the female reporter story. And it is a little violent, so reader beware. An interesting story with a lot of potential, and one I am I am curious to read more of.

Pablo Costello has an imaginary friend that tells him to get out of the city tonight before all hell is unleashed. There are riots in the streets. People are turning into dangerous monsters. Others are begging the Gods for help. Is Pablo the key to saving the city?
I wasn't entirely sure what to think of this one, but I'm already in too deep and need to know how the story continues

#ThxNetGalley #MarioB.Long #GodTierVol1

I was taken in my the cover and the premise, but ultimately, this was not the story for me. There's a lot of world building and I could appreciate that! I was not a fan of the art and for me that's really hard to get past.

I was really excited for this story, the mythological lore involved seemed interesting. However the very graphic sexual content was not something I'm interested in at all. It was gross. Had there been a note or warning of that I wouldn't have requested it but there was none.
