PRESS RELEASE - IMAGE COMICS SCALES OLYMPUS THIS MAY!Image Comics presents Nathan Edmondson and Christian Ward's OLYMPUS this May!

25 March 2009 (Berkeley, CA) - Image Comics, Nathan Edmondson and Christian Ward reveal the secret life of the gods through the eyes of the Brothers Gemini in OLYMPUS, an all-new full color ongoing series beginning this May!

"Christian Ward and I created OLYMPUS as a barrel of powder, and along came the good folks at Image with the match," Edmondson said. "To see our living vision presented to the world by such an excellent and widely-received publisher is an honor."
OLYMPUS begins with the Brothers Gemini, 3,000 years after Zeus has granted them eternal life in exchange for eternal servitude, hunting an exiled god, only to stumble upon a greater horror by accidentally releasing one of Hades' most dangerous prisoners. The results explode as Edmondson and Ward expand the mythology of classic tales in a fresh, compelling visual style in an action-adventure driven series unlike any other out there.

OLYMPUS #1 (MAR092402), a 24-page full color comic book for $2.99, will be in-stores May 20th, 2009.
