The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of MEDUSA
#1 from Bluewater Comics. The story is by Nick Lyons with pencils by Brandon
Hendricks and Carl Riely.
Meet Gloria Merrick. She accidently cut her hand on the
Sword of Perseus, which gave her the power of Medusa the Gorgon. Medusa's
sisters Stheno and Euryale are not happy about this development and decide to
hunt down and kill the imposter. Can Gloria defeat them or at least convince
the sisters not to kill her?
I hope
MEDUSA will be an ongoing because I am intrigued with the premise. It is rare
to have an ongoing series with the protagonist being a villain. While Medusa's story is recounted, there is some potential here with looking
deeper into the myth and if Gloria is worthy to handle the powers and the legacy that
she has been given. Not familiar with the works of Brandon Hendricks and Carl
Riely, but the artwork in the book is good. While I had some minor problems with the dialogue, I definitely would like to see more.
