What if you told a lie that changed the course of history for thousands of years? This is the story of such a lie and how it eventually came crumbling down.
MYTHFALL #2 is a 28-page epic sci-fi/fantasy comic that explores far-flung planets and close, human connections.
An ancient king tells a lie to save his people from their gods. 5,000 years later, that lie is now the founding myth of an interstellar republic. But a terrorist group knows a truth that can destroy everything -- even the gods themselves.
5 years ago, they kidnapped the crown princess. Searching for answers, her little brother teams up with the disgraced embassy that lost her. But the threat they find is older, and more magical, than they're prepared for.
MythFall is a space opera about flawed people in a flawed galaxy striving to be kind.

What people are saying about Mythfall
It’s epic in all the right ways and the passion jumps off the page. – Pete LePage, Comic Book Club
MythFall is a different sci-fi story, with a strong fantasy background woven in and rich lore already built up in this first issue. It's more reminiscent of stepping into a D&D campaign than a space adventure, with those futuristic elements blended in seamlessly. The complicated political situation still feels accessible while still communicating the stakes–and keeping me on the edge of my seat. When is issue 2 out? – Melissa J Massey,Black Ball, The Alchemist of Aurillia
MythFall is a masterclass in worldbuilding. Cici Affini and her ADM team, Allie Preswick & Eren Angiolini, deftly introduce readers to the world of Zymera, helping us feel at home, while also leaving us eagerly wanting to find out more. – Mike Connell, writer, Mad Quill Comics, co-creator of Feral
MythFall is a beautiful comic with great world-building. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster clicking to the top of that first steep fall, able to see all of the world in front of me and getting ready to plunge headlong into its story. I’m excited to see all the twists and turns that are coming up! – Mike Shea, Writer, Miskatonic High
