This one focuses on Ipheginia, so ah very dramatic. As I continue on with the Age of Bronze series, I feel like it becomes more educational, and less emotional for me. But, i do want to be educated about this story, and this comic is a great way to do that! But the excitement is wearing off a bit. An ambitious and interesting series. Shanower is to be commended for his research and attention to detail. There are so many characters in these myths yet he does a very good job of distinguishing their faces. Another wonderful aspect of these novels is that the author has incorporated all the bits of literature which make up the story of the Trojan War, not just the Illiad. In this volume, the Achaeans launch a premature attack..not on Troy. They need to regroup and politick to get the fleet back together for the true assault. Belief in prophecies and the gods (themselves not depicted in the Age of Bronze) leads to some awful decisions by the protagonists before the attack can begin again.
Shanower’s work is beautifully impressive, making sense out of what otherwise would have been near-chaos. Simply flipping the pages in these volumes reveals his amazing accomplishment. Appartiene alle SerieAge of Bronze (TPB 10-19) ContieneElenchi di rilievo

He deserves particular praise for the way in which he incorporates the gods' influence without directly involving them. The result is a realistic flavor that just feels right -- much more immediate and personal, and without the sense that fate is dictating everything.
This particular volume focuses on Agamemnon's sacrifice of his daughter Iphigenia, as well as a disastrous raid in Mysia, where a young Achilles mistakes the first land he sees for Troy. I'm looking forward to continuing the story. ( )
