Michael Avon Oeming Reveals His GOD COMPLEX

An all new ongoing series features the secret lives of gods this December.

The more I see of Michael Avon Oeming's art, the more I dig it.  The co-creator for POWERS (with Brian Bendis) and MICE TEMPLAR has a new series beginning in December.  This time around, he's teaming his SIX collaborator Dan Berman as well as newcomer John Brogila.  Together they will reveal that our world's true power remains with our ancient gods when one of them discovers his GOD COMPLEX.

 "In GOD COMPLEX the Greek Pantheon has survived the centuries, transforming themselves from powerful Gods of the sky to influential men and women of the Earth," Oeming said. "Some of them live normal lives, some run big business and even more are superheroes. It's an extremely complex world and after hundreds of years of life on Earth, not all the gods are happy about it."

What we have going on here is Apollo has given up being a superhero and lives in hiding from his fellow gods.  He's trying to live a normal life as a mortal named Paul.  The problem is the Pantheon is eager to get him bank in their ranks and will do whatever it takes to get him back in their fold.  Even if it's against his will.
 
GOD COMPLEX #1 is a 32-page full color comic with a $2.99 price tag.  It will be in stores on December 2, 2009.  Here's your chance to try something new and catch it as it just begins.
