Actor Michael Chiklis (Fantastic Four) is launching a new take on Greek gods in the form of a comicbook: He's partnered with IDW Publishing to create the graphic novel series "Olympus."
Based on an idea by Anny Simon Beck, series will tell the story of ancient Greek gods who return to a ravaged, chaotic present-day Earth where they battle for the future of mankind against the Titans.
Chiklis' shingle, Extravaganza Productions, is overseeing the books, which it hopes to develop into film, TV or video game properties.
"As a kid, I was always fascinated by the Greek gods, so the chance to bring my childhood heroes and villains to life in the modern world is irresistible," said Chiklis.
San Diego-based IDW also publishes "30 Days of Night," which was adapted as a feature in 2007, as well as books based on "CSI," "Star Trek," "Angel," "Dr. Who" and "Transformers."
