Being a huge fan of The Shield, this news is welcomed with a large amount of...skepticism. Michael Chiklis is an amazing actor and for as much attention as The Shield seemed to get the first couple of seasons, that show never let up and never got bad and never aired a dull episode. I feel like it wasn't on many people's radar for the last few years, but it will remain for me one of the best shows I've ever had the pleasure to watch.
But acting and comic books are two different worlds, so I'll take the "wait and see" attitude with this one and we'll see how it turns out.
Here's what the graphic novel is about, according to publisher IDW:
"Dark and stylized, Olympus tells the story of ancient Greek Gods returning to a ravaged, chaotic present-day earth where they battle for the future of mankind. Olympus features Zeus' Olympians against the Titans in an epic battle of good vs. evil, and father vs. son. Breaking The Golden Rule of Greek mythology - never to reveal themselves - the supposedly mythic Gods Zeus and Aphrodite, Pandora and Cronus, Prometheus and Jason, have returned to renew their timeless battles ... as Armageddon beckons."
Honestly? Doesn't sound that interesting to me. And Chiklis is listed as helping to "develop" the graphic novel, so it's hard to say how involved he'll be exactly in the actual scripting of this...but we'll give it a look when it finally hits shelves. No real release date has been mentioned.
