<p>First a novel, then a game, now a brand new comic! Announcing the first release in the City of the Gods Universe comic line, <em>The Last Goddess #1</em>. If you have already read about D&#8217;Molay&#8217;s adventures with the gods in the City and the realms, you might be curious about what&#8217;s going on back on Earth. <em>The Last Goddess #1</em> 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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p><strong><em>The Last Goddess #1</em> is for mature readers and contains some nudity and supernatural horror elements.</strong></p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://comics.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=95508">Available exclusively at DriveThru Comics</a>, 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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Memorial Day weekend 2011 is a notable one for the <em>City of the Gods: Forgotten</em> team. Not only was the book promoted with a table at Phoenix Comic Con, but the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/City-Gods-Forgotten-ebook/dp/B0052YX3MQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1306687348&amp;sr=8-1">Kindle edition made its debut </a>at Amazon.com .</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t use a Kindle? Don&#8217;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.</p>
