Years ago, the entire notion of the City of the Gods Universe began with the Pantheon comics published by Archer Books and Games (R.I.P.). Raven Press is making these stories available again with new covers and new bonus content, in this case, one of Wynn Mercere’s stories from Mythic Tales. Here’s the new look:

Inside, evil Set is up to his usual tricks, while Sekhmet, Tenh-Mer and some new friends stand in his way. Get your digital copy from Drivethrucomics.com for only 99 cents! We hope to re-release Pantheon 2 early this summer.

You can buy it in paperback at Amazon.com.

The Kindle edition will be out shortly. Here’s a sneak peek at the back cover image that will be exclusive to the digital edition.

A great reason to pick up this title is that it contains our submission guidelines for the second anthology, scheduled for a 2013 release. Would you like to write a story set in the City of the Gods?

Work is almost complete on the multi-author short story collection set in the City of the Gods universe. Previously announced as “Fables and Folklore,” the book will now be called Mythic Tales.

A few spoilers about what the collection contains were spilled in our latest breakout review at the San Diego Reader – and you can always keep up on the very latest news about my writing by subscribing to my monthly newsletter, Wynn Mercere’s Writing World.

Happy Holidays to all our City of the Gods fans! May your season be festive no matter what realm you call home.

First a novel, then a game, now a brand new comic! Announcing the first release in the City of the Gods Universe comic line, The Last Goddess #1. If you have already read about D’Molay’s adventures with the gods in the City and the realms, you might be curious about what’s going on back on Earth. The Last Goddess #1 is a stand-alone story which references the retreat of the gods from our planet and the power of the Council, but tells a tale all its own.

At Dunwich Asylum, two evil gods secretly attempt to rebuild their powers and gain new converts. One remaining goddess of the light is reborn to thwart them. Can she rediscover her godhood, adapt to the modern world, and succeed?

The Last Goddess #1 is for mature readers and contains some nudity and supernatural horror elements.

Available exclusively at DriveThru Comics, this 53-page publication is priced competitively at $1.75 for the digital download. Story by M. Scott Verne and Wynn Mercere, with art by Seppo Makinen and S. Crompton. There is a free preview of the first six pages at the link.

Our City of the Gods: Forgotten paperback has gone into a second printing. The new edition has been produced with larger type and additional illustrations — the two requests most heard from our fans!

Larger type and more art increased the book to 428 pages. The original release clocked in at 310. Check the page counts to make sure you are ordering the edition you want from booksellers such as Amazon.Com.

At this time, the Kindle eBook has not been changed. It is the first edition with a limited selection of images, but bargain priced at $3.99.

Memorial Day weekend 2011 is a notable one for the City of the Gods: Forgotten team. Not only was the book promoted with a table at Phoenix Comic Con, but the Kindle edition made its debut at Amazon.com .

The Kindle edition has fewer art pieces than the paperback, but the ones chosen for the Kindle display marvelously on the device. We also made one frequently requested change, which was to move the map of the world to the front of the book for easier reference.

Don’t use a Kindle? Don’t worry - digital versions of the novel will be available in several other formats soon. The paperback will remain on sale for those who prefer a traditional book.
