On or around April 13th, I believe, you'll be able to get your very own copy of Athena: Grey Eyed Goddess at your favorite bookstore, comic shop or etailer. In honor of this momentous occasion, and also as a nod to the new Clash of the Titans movie that just came out, here is a preview of one of my favorite pages from Athena, a wordless section depicting Perseus and Medusa. Enjoy!
cool. Can't wait for athena.
ReplyDeleteB.T.W. I noticed you didn't seem to be using the Kabisis or Cap of Invisibility (lot of i's) on either the Perseus profile page or the Athena book. Why? Just wondering.
A funny bit of personal preference. I do include a little in-joke for those of us in the know, but here's the reason from my own Geek Note on the omission: "I opted to leave this (the helmet) out because, really, (Perseus) has enough help already. Make him work for it a little! Even I could kill Medusa if I could turn invisible too!"
ReplyDeletetRUE. i KNOW IN MY COMICS, THOUGH, I HAVE TO USE THE WEAPONS YOU LEFT OUT. iF I HAD TO KILL MEDOUSA, i'D START HYPERVENTALATING OR I'D PASS OUT IF I DIDN'T HAVE INVISIBILITY. pLUS, THE KIBISIS HELPS WITH CARRYING SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY IT YOURSELF.
ReplyDeletequick question. in athena you tell about medusa's transformation, right? (please say yes)
ReplyDeleteA definite yes on Medusa's transformation. It's pretty key, IMO.
ReplyDeleteYeah, a lot of comics leave out the transformation and just leave the viewers to believe Medusa was a terrifying/ugly/petrifying monster all her life.
