You have to read Pantheon if you're into mythology and high-concept graphic novels.

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.560
Mohsen Ashraf's world-building epic of a Volume One reminds me of Gillen's Young Avengers or X-Men,

00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:16.480
in how it channels a legacy-driven assembling of diverse and relatable characters.

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:22.080
Pair that with a meticulously researched and expertly presented amount of mythological lore.

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.840
Willi Roberts' character designs are beautifully distinct, with plenty of sick character suit-ups and action scenes for fans of hero comics.

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:40.960
