The Iliad #[nn]

Marvel's 2009 adaptation of Homer's timeless epic arrives with a commanding cover by Paolo Rivera, depicting an armored Greek warrior — shield raised, spear at the ready — bellowing a war cry as massed soldiers stretch across the battlefield behind him. The painted realism Rivera brings to this ancient world of bronze and blood makes the siege of Troy feel immediate and visceral. Roy Thomas and Miguel Angel Sepulveda bring the rage of Achilles and the grandeur of the Trojan War to the comics page in a way that honors Homer while making the poem accessible to a whole new generation of readers.
