These two issues sent the world of Emma Sonnet, the 10th Muse: Muse of Justice, reeling on its ear. In these two issues Emma confronts Grayson Bishop, who turns out to be the Muse’s brother. Grayson is another one of Zeus’ illegitimate offspring; unfortunately for Grayson he was not able to escape the wrath and vengeance of Hera. Grayson, like Sauron, only needs one thing to bring about the end of the world. No it’s not the ruling ring of power you silly-billy; it’s the Tenth Muse’s soul. In order to De-Medusa her friend’s, Emma must decide to marry Grayson. Unlike your typical forced bad guy wedding, this one really isn’t a ceremony. Grayson just steals her soul and orders his female lover/henchwoman to kill Emma. Morgan, said henchwoman, is actually a very nice person, and cannot bring herself to kill Emma. Emma has now been split from the Muse. She’s a normal everyday person, and she’s not happy. She feels that she must somehow help the soul of the Muse stop Grayson from destroying Olympus and earth. Morgan, who for a long time has been abused and controlled by Grayson finally has enough of his evil junk, and jumps in the way to avoid Grayson assimilating the Muse’s soul. In doing this she inherits the Muse’s soul. This leaves us in quite a quandary what is to happen next? I wish I knew the answer. This is actually a very well written series. The art is very nice. Guys look a little ugly, but the women generally look very pretty. You should definitely go check this book out. I have no clue where it goes from here, but in my book that’s a good thing. Go check out the Tide Wave studios webpage: www.blacktidestudios.com. Atlas 2 & 3 (mini comic at the end of both) Writer: Marv Wolfman Pencils: Mark Brooks Inks: Clayton Brown Atlas is very very funny. It’s a mini-comic about the Greek god Atlas who has some to earth to become a superhero. He is very much without a clue. Atlas has to wrestle with such problems as how to become a superhero, having to get a secret identity so he can move in peace, and having a head quarters. Atlas is a GREAT added bonus. If it were to become a full time comic I would buy it. It’s a great perk that comes with buying Tenth Muse 7,8, and 9. I highly recommend it.
