We have all heard the legend and tales of the mythical beast known as the minotaur. A half man half bull creature that prowls its maze like home known as the labyrinth. These were just dismissed as legends but what if there was some truth to them? This is the basis of a new series called Kill the Minotaur coming soon from Skybound Entertainment!

This new series takes place in1500 BC where war, conflict and superstition are just an everyday occurrence. In Kill the Minotaur Athens lost a war against the isle of Crete and are now under the rule of King Minos. However, instead of being a just and fair ruler, King Minos is plagued by madness and demands tribute. No one has ever seen the king. Everyone believes that someone needs to stand up to this mad king and Theseus seems to be the man for the job. Can he be the hero that Athens needs?

I have read the first issue and I have to say that it is not your typical Greek fairy tale. This book shows the hard life the people of Athens endure under King Minos’s reign and there’s plenty of blood and action to keep you reading from cover to cover. I read the book in under a few minutes and I have to say I am eager for the next issue!

Kill the Minotaur is written by the team of Christian Cantamessa and Chris Pasetto. If this team sounds familiar they were the team that brought us the frightful movie called AIR. This movie was Skybound’s first feature film that starred Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou. The art of the book is being done by the talented Lukas Ketner who has worked on the book Witch Doctor. His art brings this book to life as we experience the savagery of ancient Greece.

Kill the Minotaur releases on June 14, 2017 and it’s a book that you should take a look at. For more information on this and other titles head over to http://www.skybound.com/ and get ready to face the minotaur!
