During my time on the Bargain Bin show with my buddies Aria, Dave, and Rob, we had some cool guests on. One of them was H. Wayne Desper, and we talked with him about his comic, The Mythicals, which he was funding.
After a job interview that doesn't go so well, Nancy Moon goes out to drown her sorrows with a friend. As they head home, the women are attacked by a supernatural creature, an event that will change Nancy's life. At the time of writing this, two issues have been funded and published. Issue one ends with one hell of a twist, which, of course, I won't spoil. Issue two progresses the story nicely, allowing it room to breathe and time for us, the readers, to get to know the characters. The future looks promising for the overall arc.
Desper is one of a few creators out there who has my money the moment a project of his is announced. Both issues of The Mythicals are the only comics I have backed, besides Yaira, that actually arrived on time. That tells me that Desper is a man who has his shit together where so many others do not. While he is active on Twitter, the man has not allowed the dramas to distract him. He has delivered two quality packages, thanks to the hard work he and his team have put in. These include card stock covers, quality paper within, trading cards, and even metal trading cards, which I personally love. Part of the package of issue two was a cool standee of one of the characters, Samuel, whose introduction is nothing short of hilarious.
It has a place on my desk, but some days I wonder if it's a good idea. I swear the damn thing is quietly judging me when I'm not writing, especially with the gaze artist Irene has drawn it with.
I look forward to the next issue and recommend that everyone check it out. The story is excellent, the art is the same, and you'll get the books on time.
It's a shame other independent creators can't do the same.
