This book MIGHT have given the god of adapters his greatest challenge:Roy Thomas, best of all adapters in consistent quality, did a Herculean job on this amalgamation of the post-Homeric tomes. He had to juggle so many accounts, sometimes contradictory, into an epic that not only made sense but was compelling and informative to a Greek junkie like myself!The seeming impossibility of the task shows when it's somewhat confusing at times which is half of the reason why it didn't get the full five This book MIGHT have given the god of adapters his greatest challenge:Roy Thomas, best of all adapters in consistent quality, did a Herculean job on this amalgamation of the post-Homeric tomes.

The other half was the artist ho wasn't bad by any stretch but I found his work on this to be quotidian ALTHOUGH that could have only been because of Marvel's absurdly-short time allowances.Then I consider how many books he has put to the sequential arts over the years I feel certain that he has the greatest literary acumen of all his fellows. Think of how carefully he has read seemingly countless classics to be as flawless in representation as he's always been! This is a part of the Marvel Illustrated line of graphic novels. It is an interesting visual way to learn the story of the Trojan War. It features the cause of the war, Helen of Troy, as well as the rise and fall of Achilles. Odysseus is also a participant in the Trojan War, and you get to see some of the events and things that happen before the events of Homer's The Odyssey.
The involvement of the Gods and Goddesses is portrayed well and gives a good feel for their involvement in war affairs as This is a part of the Marvel Illustrated line of graphic novels.

It was a bit hard to read in that the Greek names and contexts can be hard to think and work with.
The art is good with fine details for both people and backgrounds that really make the setting come to life. A good graphic novel to introduce someone to Greek mythology and history. To be fair, I've only read issues 2 and 3 of this book, so I suppose I'm not sure.
I was pleased with it in the beginning, thinking that it was nice to get some flesh to the scenes starting off the war, and I'm particularly familiar with Agamemnon's involvement so I liked to see that dramatized. But then, suddenly, nine years of the war went. Well that was easy!
Goodbye, war! I did not realize that you were all going to fit inside this 5-issue series! And mainly into two issues of it!The To be fair, I've only read issues 2 and 3 of this book, so I suppose I'm not sure.

I did not realize that you were all going to fit inside this 5-issue series! And mainly into two issues of it!The pace was pretty bad in itself, but I also lost patience with the writing style - overly indulgent in the old-timey language, I think. I, son of blah, will join with blahh, for mine is a blah blahh. It makes all the exposition sound almost parodic. But I think if the plotting was more sensible, that would be ok. Style can be tempered.However, the panel where Artemis carries up the spirit of Iphigenia was AWESOME and I said 'ooooooooh COOL' out loud, so that gets a star. And almost any retelling, to me, is a good thing.

It gives us the chance to practice the story in pieces, until it's perfect. I might look into Thomas's Iliad.
