I picked up the Mythos: Spider-Man book today, went to post about it, and found out there is no Mythos thread...I could have sworn there was.
I really enjoy these books...I wish they would spin a whole universe out of these titles. They are better than the Ultimate books, and I think they could really keep things tight by doing event-orientated graphic novels. It could be fantastic.
(make them more adult-oriented also. Let the characters swear and do bad stuff; isn't Marvel pretty much based on the concept that heroes are just as big of screw-ups as regular people?)
I don't feel like recapping the X-Men, Hulk, and Ghost Rider Mythos, but they were all very good and I love the art in them.
Mythos: Spider-Man continues the tradition...there isn't even really anything special about it; it's just yet another retelling of Spider-Man's origins. There are a few new twists which were cool...Peter shares his Spider-Man earnings with his aunt and uncle, and the robber who kills Ben had seen the money and wanted it. Fits nicer than having it just be a random robbery, and adds another level of responsibility to Peter.
It also cuts out the wrestling bit, and it works well...in the scheme of things, that was always kind of pointless anyway.
The art is really what does it. Rivera does a good job capturing facial expressions, particularly with Peter as he discovers his abilities...
Anyone else reading these?
