"Gods and Heroes," published by Archaia Entertainment, is a graphic novel anthology containing ten different stories from acclaimed creators including Ben Templesmith ("30 Days of Night"), Ron Marz ("Green Lantern"), Ben McCool ("Captain America") and more, all with the purpose of expanding upon the universe so carefully laid out on screen by Singh and his team.
Here are a few quotes from executive editor Joe LeFavi on the creation of the novel...
"The graphic novel began because Relativity Media and Archaia both recognized that it was an immense world, a visual and gorgeous world. Just having two hours to play around in that world… it wasn't enough,"
explains Joe LeFavi, executive editor of the
Immortals graphic novel, in our exclusive behind-the-scenes feature. He adds that unlike many other film-to-comic projects,
Gods and Heroes won't simply repurpose the movie's plot for the paneled page — instead, this comic book will feature stories independent of the final
Immortals film.
"We're doing something different, something that you usually don't do in licensed publishing," he says.
"We're doing a complimentative narrative to the film: they're both standalone pieces, but if you read the graphic novel and then see the film, it ties together as one cohesive whole."
Immortals hits theaters November 11th, later this year!
