Myths,
Legends, Fairy Tales and Folklore. Without most of us even being aware of it, these
things help to shape our society and direct our moral compass. Even more inspiring
than our history or our laws are the stories that we pass down from one
generation to the next. Some are cautionary tales designed to reveal the
consequences of wrong actions. Some are
heroic sagas that demonstrate the value of good deeds and self-sacrifice. They
are stories of archetypal characters that recur time and again in our
literature and other art forms.
It is these
stories that are the meat and mead of Zenescope Entertainment. Within the pages
of Zenescope’s “Grimm Fairy Tales” and its companion titles, they are redefining
the stories that we all know so well, that we have come to take them for
granted. In each issue, beloved characters like Goldilocks, Red Riding Hood,
Alice, Peter Pan and many others, get sinister revisions that make them more
suited to these modern times. In addition, there are tales reveal the secret
histories of places like Wonderland, Never Land and Sherwood Forest, fleshing-out
the backgrounds of many of the iconic characters that dwell within these
magical locales.
Now Zenescope
is poised to do the same for Greek Mythology as they have for European
Folklore. With recent one-shots
featuring the likes of Zeus, Aphrodite, Ares, Neptune and others, as well as
the new Godstorm series, they have begun to weave a tapestry of intertwining
destinies, and schemes within schemes as they and the other Gods of Olympus vie
with one another for ultimate power and control.
But they’re not stopping there. Be on the
lookout for Zenescope versions of Robin Hood, Sleepy Hollow and more in the coming
months. And White Dragon Comics will be bringing it all to you. Check out
Zenescope Entertainment now. We have dozens of Zenescope titles in stock and
dozens more available for pre-order.
