Well they finally did it. In Myth Adventures number 8 they conclude the story
that is contained in the first Myth book. I must admit that I enjoy Foglio's
art style for this book and I feel that it adds to the story nicely. He has
made some interesting (and minor) changes to the story that at times dismay
me (such as the addition of the PRIMEWORLDERS (why?)) and some additional
diologue that I loved ("Isstivan you're...you're..." "Thin" "Bald" Young"
"ALIVE, YOU MORONS, THE OPERATIVE WORD IS ALIVE!") But overall I found it
to be a fun and enjoyable adaptation of the first book.
Now for the bad news. Mr. Asprin has not been doing as good a job with the
new Myth books. I just picked up the latest book "Little Myth Marker" and
found it to be INCREDIBLY predictable and a nice harmless ball of fluff. Not
terrible to read, but hardly great. What thinkest thou (plural) on either
the books or the comic?
