Nerds That Geek Comic Book Preview: ‘Mythica’ #7

Written by John Edward Betancourt

One of the biggest benefits of the world wide web in this day and age, is the sheer fact that it has given a wonderful voice to independent artists. Because now they can share all kinds of incredible and creative works with the world that outright leave us in awe and one such independent company that is continuing to do just that on a consistent basis, is Actionline Studios. For this particular company is cranking out some downright incredible comic books, such as their Mythica series. For this particular comic book series, continues to push the envelope storytelling wise, by providing is readers with a dynamic story that is unlike anything else on the market right now. 
​
Because this reviewer is hard pressed to think of another comic out there that manages to blend together elements of horror and fantasy and the feel of classic grindhouse movies, whilst still providing the reader with an engrossing plot. If anything, this comic series is relevant to our discussion today, simply because Actionline launched its Kickstarter for Issue #7 of Mythica earlier today and we here at Nerds That Geek had the opportunity to see what’s in this upcoming issue and we’d like to take a moment and preview lucky #7 and everything that it has to offer. In a spoiler free manner of course, because it would be cruel to spoil a comic this wonderful. One that does something that few comics dare to do in modern times.

In that, this is a story that actually features some serious peaks and valleys and allows for the characters to breathe after the harrowing events they faced in the last issue. And this is of something of note, largely because most comic books now, believe that action is king, and the reader should be treated to an endless litany of action or gore filled panels. But by having a little downtime here, Writer Matt Campbell is telling a complete and juicy story. One that continues the saga’s proud tradition of character development and plot development as well, making this a satisfying read for certain, one that even motivates you to chuckle aloud by way of a delightfully quirky sequence of events.

But while it is quite delightful to enjoy an engrossing story, make no mistake about it, there is still action and adventure present in this tale to please the fans. Because a little rump kicking is paramount to this sweeping magnum opus and as an added bonus, this particular comic also does a wonderful job of building up suspense for future issues. In fact, the doom and mystery hang so heavy over the end of this tale, that once you’ve put your issue down, you’re immediately ready for more. Since Campbell and his team do an incredible job here of creating yet another compelling and gripping tale. The kind that truly sinks its hooks into you and never lets you go.  

However, while we could go on and on about this particular issue, what matters more is how exactly you, dear reader… get your hands on the next chapter in this wild and magnificent adventure. And well, the only way to make that happen, is to swing by Actionline’s Kickstarter event for this issue and either make a donation to its creation or share and follow this event, and hopefully you either back it or snatch up a copy once its released. Simply because Mister Campbell and his dynamic team of artists really are assembling something quite special here, and it definitely deserves our support and our attention. Because this saga is proof positive, of what kinds of storytelling wonders independent comics can accomplish, when they are properly nurtured.
