Greek Myth Remix

Diana's past is swirled in with greek mythology (yes i still have the mixer from my last post on my mind.  it was amazing people!).  She was brought to life by the gods, she's been blinded by medusa, had to rescue Ares' love child from the mother, had her sight restored to her by her by Athena, and been told "you're on your own," by Zeus. Mind you not in that order, but you get the idea.

Plus she's an AMAZON. i mean their origins are in greek mythology.  myth i say. because it is myth that a chick would cut off her boob.  seriously.  elective?  is shooting an arrow really that important?

but i digress.  recently i went to an event called comicaze in los angeles. it was the first of its kind and i have to say it was quite a wonderful experience. it was a mix of everything.  it was what comic con used to be before the networks took it over.

what i love about conventions, the small ones, is you really get to talk shop with other creators.  as i am putting together a comic book, i was really happy to be able to spend a few with other writers and get to know their process as well as what they are up to.  therefore i found it fitting that i came across a fellow writer with a fun take on greek mythology. one that i thought to share.

i met Tom at comickaze and apart from being a totally chill guy to talk with about working with artists, he also told me about his book, which is totally fitting for this blog.

"Hybrid Bastards"is a fun book about Hera getting all ticked at Zeus sleeping around with mortal honeys so she slips him a lil' something that makes him sleep around with ANYTHING for a full 24 hours.  eighteen years later, he starts paying the price for his hybrid bastards. see i used the title there.  clever, yes i am  :)

anyways with me a soon to be indie comic writer i think it's essential to support our own, and with this tying into mythology and with Wonder Woman's greek past, I thought this would be a great book to check out!  It's a lot of fun and no you don't need to be well versed in the classics.  Just watch an episode of "cheaters" on late night and you'll be fine.

so check it out and if you have any recommendations of comics under my radar, mythology ties optional, feel free to leave a comment here or hit me up on twitter!
