Assault On New Olympus

            This comic has got to have two of the wittiest exchanges you could read in any comic this month and probably for many months.  One of them is the nymphomaniacal Aphrodite saying to the virginal Athena, “Leave me now.  Your frigidity depresses me.”  The other is Hebe saying, “Olympus.  It’s the capital of everything.”  Peter Parker replies, “You’ll never convince a New Yorker of that.”

            This comic is a great set up for what looks like a coming battle between Hera’s allies and a group of New and Mighty Avengers.  The Japanese deity Amatsu-Mikaboshi is going to figure into the mix somehow too, it seems.

            The art for this comic is excellent.  All the Greek gods have godly physiques, and I like that Buchemi gives all of the goddesses classical period hairstyles.
