Mighty ‘Mythologica’

Marvel’s various pantheons are enumerated and expounded on in the illuminating Thor and Hercules: Encyclopaedia Mythologica handbook. The 64-page compendium has informative entries on the popular Asgardians and Olympians, and new or lesser-known gods, including the Philippines’ Diwatas. The group illustrations are new, and some notable figures are given half-page profiles. The book also explains rarely mentioned connections between the cosmic beings and their coexistence in the Marvel Universe.
