ETERNUS (2022)

From creators Andy Serkis and Andrew Levitas! 360 CE. The great god Zeus is long dead, brutally murdered in his own temple some thirty years prior. Heracles, Zeus's son and champion, spends his days drunk and depressed as the old gods struggle to stay alive after decades of Christian disruption. When Athena's Temple is sacked by a mysterious Centurion looking for a powerful relic that once belonged to Zeus, the old gods are convinced they have found Zeus's killer. Now the mighty Heracles must sober up long enough to keep the lone witness, a 9-year-old blind priestess, alive long enough to identify the killer and finally find justice for his dead father. The main cover features beautiful Rob Prior wraparound artwork!

Heracles tracks the Centurion he believes may have killed his father Zeus, bristling at having to stay sober and babysit Athena's 9-year-old blind priestess in the process - until Mina reveals her true nature and the real reason she was sent as his sidekick. Meanwhile, Dionysus seeks to regain his lost glory and the favor of the new Caesar Julian by turning water into wine on the day of his wedding to the Emperor's sister.

Heracles and Mina learn the Hunter Orion may have murdered Zeus and try to stop him from getting his hands on the Thunderbolt of Zeus. Dionysus strikes a dark bargain to save Julian and his army from certain death in Gaul, moving the new Caesar one step closer to an alliance with the old Gods.    

Heracles and Mina finally find the man they've been looking for and get closer to the truth of who murdered Zeus. Persephone reveals to Julian the dark secret of her Mystery Cult, forcing the new Emperor to the Pagan side. But is it too late for the old gods to regain their foothold against the rapidly spreading religion of the One God?  

Heracles finally learns who really murdered Zeus, but when he confronts the killers they are going to murder him too-until Mina sacrifices herself so he can escape.  Persephone and Dionysus get Yusuf appointed Pontifex Rex, the highest religious authority in Rome, but will confront dire consequences for meddling in human affairs.

Created by Andy Serkis and Andrew Levitas. With Zeus' killers loose and Poseidon on the verge of becoming the most powerful God, Heracles must find his way out of Hades in order to rescue Mina before she is trapped in the body of Gorgon forever.
