one of my favourite books being published, or that was being published at least, was Eric Shanower's phenomenal Age of Bronze; a historical retelling on the Trojan War. Shanower's love of the material is obvious and his skill shows in his work as he transports the reader back in time. Shanower recreates the world of the Bronze age vividly all the while making his characters understandable, human, and relatable. not the easiest task in the world.
the first Age of Bronze trade "A Thousand Ships" has been out for a while and if the second trade "Sacrifices" isn't already out it should be soon. i haven't seen an issue on the stands in some time and it'd be a shame if a book this good was cancelled. even if another issue of AoB isn't released those two trades are both worth getting and are excellent examples of epic storytelling at its best.
