Proposed Comic on the Gods
In Graphic Novel Land, actor Michael Chiklis (who played Ben Grimm in Fantastic Four) has decided to do a comic on the Olympians. This is what Variety has to say about the proposed comic in their article:
Based on an idea by Anny Simon Beck, [the] series will tell the story of ancient Greek gods who return to a ravaged, chaotic present-day Earth where they battle for the future of mankind against the Titans.
You can read the rest of their article here. I wonder how much mythological vocabulary Chiklis will use in the comic's creation, or if it will turn into another one of those excuses to show a lot of ripped-out men and scantily-clad women fighting. (I mean, he could even decide to do a prequel to Keat's unfinished Hyperion. If only, right?) Here's hoping it's good.

Speaking of comics--are you familiar with Eric Shanower's graphic novel series about the Trojan War? You can read the first volume here:

No, but thanks for the link!
YW! I enjoy the comic, but it takes forever for new volumes to come out. The author has done his research, and he draws the huge cast of characters such that it's easy to tell everyone apart--quite an accomplishment.
