Isis & Osiris: To the Ends of the Earth [An Egyptian Myth] (Graphic Myths and Legends)

As a kid I was really interested in Egyptology, so when I ran across this I was really excited to check it out. There are a few parts in the story the artwork is fairly good, but I wouldn't rate it top notch.Also, the story line that is written follows loosely from the Isian mythos. The authors took a couple key parts of short stories about the trials of Isis and tried to make it the whole story. It was ok, but the mythos had so many better instances the authors could have used to let Isis shine as a goddess of magic, motherhood and charity I was left wondering why did they make her on the shallow side? If they had done this with the story of Jesus you would only have read about him arguing with the money lenders and raising a guy from the dead. There was so much more, but you might have only seen a glimpse. This is the way this story read.The authors also made Isis too human with petty emotions. While this was not entirely out of character to the mythos, she went from sad, indignant and angry for rather trivial issues and they completely failed to give her a aire of higher wisdom. A missed opportunity.I give this book 4 stars because despite it's shortcomings it's rare for such stories to be retold for a younger audience and I think such attempts need to be encouraged.

I love this book. It is very accurate on its story of the evil Set murdering his own brother Osiris. The only thing is set is not full human as in this comic shows. He is an anthropomorphic sha (an Egyptian demon)

High-quality, nice artwork, easy to read

This graphic novel gave me a renewed interest in comic books and graphic novels. I would love to see more people of color represented in graphic novel. In this book, the colors were nice and story followed the great legend. When I have kids one day, I will gladly hand it down to my children so they too can enjoy this wonderful story. This graphic novel will give Black kids in the diaspora a sense of pride of their glorious past. I enjoyed it immensely.

Great cultural comic, for all to like. Great gifts for kwansi and christmas. Great illustrations of the Afrakan spirituality of Kemet. Need more comics like this.

Nice book and well done. Good illustrations and I actually learned something from this comic I hadn't known before so it was great.
