This May, a modern-day Greek tragedy forces a mere mortal named Thea to seek revenge against the pantheon of gods in Aletheia, a full color, three issue mini-series presented by Image Comics/Shadowline!
"Aletheia is the culmination my mutual obsessions with the classic Greek mythology and modern pulp yarns such as Sin City," Aletheia creator Bob LeFevre said. "The characters have actually been in my head for a very long time, so committing them to paper - through Image Comics/Shadowline, no less - is much more satisfying than I can properly articulate. Aletheia goes far beyond just Thea's story as well, and I'm hoping to tell stories set in that universe for years to come."
Thea's quest for revenge is kicked off once she discovers the murder of her boyfriend is tied into the Greek gods, who were previously thought to be just myth, but actually have an all-too-real grip on our society. She finds herself up against the entire pantheon, but her thirst for revenge easily trumps any fear from within.
Bob's a fresh new talent and this book has exceeded our expectations, says Shadowlines head honcho Jim Valentino. Its as engrossing a story as it is visually stunning. Bob LeFevre and colorist James Offredi are two talents to watch!"
Aletheia #1 (MAR082065), a full color 32-page mini-series for $3.50, will be in stores May 28th.
