I recieved a copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and BOOM! Studios. I am leaving an honest review voluntarily. I wanted to like this one, and I did enjoy parts. The main focus of the story, and the ties to the myth were really neat. Also the art was beautiful, especially the details around the panels on occasion. However, the convoluted time jumps back and forth, as well as the business of the panels and sheer amount of texts makes these story difficult to follow. I think it could have been slowed down and filled out more.
