ladyfives's review against another edition
5.0
A real storyteller only uses lies to tell the truth.
Top to bottom, just fantastic art and very strong adaptations/combinations of myths. Loki and Thor take you on what looks like an 80s Heavy Metal adventure through cosmic fantasy, and Reynard and Stork bring a charming children’s book style with some expertly-applied edge.
My favourite was Eshu’s story. As noted in the author’s note, West African mythology doesn’t make you immediately think of meet-cutes and romances—I don’t really, if ever, see those kinds of stories carried over—but this one is now one of my favourite myths in general. It’s clever, sweet, and retold with such charm!

Liked this, but would have loved it had they included a Napi story.
