The upcoming Olympians poster is as finished as it's gonna get. I thought you might like to see this step-by-step process of how it was made, from the finish all the way back to the sketch.

    Hi George,

    I picked up books 4 and 6, but I haven't read any other book in the series. I was wondering if they are meant to be read in order.

    Thanks in advance!

      Actually yes, it starts at Book 1 (Zeus) then you go to Metis' story in Athena (Book 2), Book 3 (Hera) tells you about Perseus' descendant Herakles, Book 4 (Hades) includes Herakles' shade in the Underworld and Persephone's story, Book 5 (Poseidon) gives you hints on the divison of the cosmos and Poseidon's own story, Book 6 (Aphrodite) has the start of the Trojan War, and Ares (Book 7) I think you'll hear about the Trojan War and maybe Ares and Aphrodite's affair.

    Mr. O'Connor, can you make a web series on this. Each comic book can be an episode.

    PS. Are you gonna make some Egyptian mythology comics.
    You can make at least 5 (Ra: The Creator, Isis: Devoted Wife and Mother, Anubis: God of the Dead, Sobek: Crocodile God, and Tefnut: Moisture Goddess).

    I'm really looking forward to the Trojan War (from the perspective of the gods) in Ares: Bringer of War!

    (Any chance of Iris making a cameo in the book? Since Hermes is a participant, I remember that she's Zeus' messenger in the Iliad.)

    Could you make a mini comic on Hestia?
