I enjoyed every panel of Pantheon. My face hurts from laughing so much. This book is so stupid and I love it for that.

Hilarious. And a quick read. I read it all on my flight from DTW->MSP, and still had time to finish another ebook.

Retells the passage of kingship from Atum to Horus. Pretty and fun, with a lot more semen salad dressing than I was expecting. A bit too glib and too much of a "just so story" about human hegemony to be fully enjoyable.

This is hands down one of the best things I've ever read. It's been a long time since I've laughed out loud so much! Definitely reccomended to any adult with a sense of humor, especially those who love myths!

The art was cute, it made me chuckle a couple times, and I found myself deep diving into Wikipedia immediately afterwards. It is a fun quick read for anyone who wants to see nice art, learn a little about Egyptian gods, and get a laugh.
