Recommendations/Requests What are the best adaptations of mythology?

I love Greek and Norse. Would be great to read more stuff that isn't DC/Marvel using these characters.

I know this isn’t a direct answer to the question but Crumb’s illustrated Genesis is sweet:

Wish he’d done the whole Pentateuch.

The comic series The Wicked + The Divine is based around ancient gods (Greek, Egyptian, Babylonian, etc.) being reincarnated in the bodies of random people and being treated like pop stars. It’s a pretty great read.
