International Team Publishes "Panthea Obscura" Issue #2

BURLINGTON, VERMONT October 8, 2007 – Mike Luoma proudly announces the release of Issue Two of Panthea Obscura on October 17th, 2007! Panthea Obscura is a four-issue comic book mini series created and written by Vermont’s Luoma and illustrated by Argentine artist Juan Carlos Quattordio and published by Luoma through the revolutionary online print on demand provider Lulu.com.

Panthea Obscura tells the story of the old gods, now returned. The gods of ancient myth actually existed, still do exist, but they made humankind forget they were real over two thousand years ago. In issue one the gods revealed themselves to the modern world, once again let humankind remember they were real. In Issue Two the gods deal with some of the darker ramifications of their decision.

Led by The Deep, once known as Poseidon among other names, most of the gods act like heroes, but Troy, once believed to be the gods of War and Death, now lurks in his underworld palace and possesses human beings made newly vulnerable to him by the other gods’ revelation. The other gods are doing their best to try to stop those Troy possesses when they run amok, kill people, and mindlessly mouth Troy’s mantra, “Too Many Morons!”

Panthea Obscura will be available online at http://stores.lulu.com/mikeluoma.
