Prepare for a groundbreaking journey as acclaimed artist Tony Parker takes mythology to new heights with his latest creation, “Medusa.” This exclusive announcement promises readers an action-packed twist on the original mythology of the titular character, challenging preconceived notions and weaving a narrative that will leave them on the edge of their seats.
In “Medusa,” the world still clings to the memory of the monstrous Gorgon, but Parker flips the narrative, revealing that Medusa has, in fact, spent millennia as a savior of humanity. Far from the fearsome creature of legend, she has been tirelessly protecting humanity from the horrors that lurk in the shadows.
Medusa faces a new and formidable adversary in Scotland—one so menacing that even the gods themselves tremble in fear. This unexpected foe sets the stage for an epic battle that will challenge Medusa’s strength, resilience, and determination. The question that looms over the story is a compelling one: Will Medusa be able to save humanity once more, or is this her final, ultimate test?
TONY PARKER TWISTS MEDUSA INTO A HERO IN NEW GRAPHIC NOVEL,
“MEDUSA”
Medusa Unleashed!
MILWAUKIE, Ore., — Dark Horse Books presents Medusa, a new graphic novel that twists the original Greek myth into an action-packed story. Eisner Award-nominated artist Tony Parker (This Damned Band, God of War Volume 2: Fallen God) will write and illustrate the paperback graphic novel with Tamra Bonvillain joining the project as colorist. Medusa TPB will arrive in October 2024.
Everything you know about Medusa is a lie. Forever cursed to be remembered as a monster, this ageless yet very mortal hero has spent millennia saving humanity from the horrors of legend. But now, in Scotland, she has met a foe that makes even the gods hide in fear. Armed with unwavering resolve, will the mighty Medusa be able to save mankind one last time?
Medusa (88 pages, 10.1875” x 6.625”, paperback) will be available in bookstores on October 1, 2024 and comic shops on October 2, 2024. It is now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local comic shop or bookstore.
