Mythic Lore Services is a company that solves the problems of supernatural beings in the world. Waterson is the leader. He is immortal, and has been around for thousands of years. Waterson, Nate, and Cassandra are one of the teams that work for Mythic, but when a bunch of robots start destroying the world, they end up being the only team left. This first volume covers them fighting off a variety of mythical creature.

The premise of this graphic novel was so interesting. I love mythology. I like how mythical creatures are brought into the real world in this story.

At times, I found the story and pictures confusing. There were so many different sides to the fight, from the Mythic team to the mythical creatures to the robots. There were many fight scenes where the explosions made it unclear what exactly was happening. Also, each issue in the volume followed a different creature attacking the earth, so by the time I figured out who one character was, they were gone.

The ending of this graphic novel was very good. It was a bit of a cliffhanger and now I want to go find out what happens next!

This review will be posted on my blog on May 26, 2017.

'Mythic, Volume 1' by Phil Hester and John McCrea seemed like an interesting, if perhaps overused, idea: a secret society that works behind the scenes to save the world. Unfortunately, I felt like the execution was kind of a hot mess.

It turns out that science is a lie, not religion. But magic can go wrong, and when it does, the MYTHIC team goes around fixing it. With varied team members like the goddess Venus, an Apache shaman and a guy who fixes cell phones, they are the front line. When the rest of the MYTHIC teams disappear worldwide, it's going to be up to these people.

The art is good enough, but it all degenerates into crass humor and weird situations. If it's supposed to be funny, it seems to be doing that using shock humor at the expense of the reader. The situations and jokes just felt like hammer blows. There are other similar type stories and teams that have done this better. Which is a shame, because the art was pretty decent. It's too bad the script wasn't.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Image Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
