I like Jim Fern’s art a lot, especially his strong facial expressions and the lack of exaggeration. The gods don’t look like gods. Instead, they look like people. Since the story focuses on their human failings, it’s really effective to portray them as regular people. And his surfer-dude Poseidon cracks me up to no end.
I love Headache. It’s fast, funny, and exciting. Surprisingly human moments sit right next to inventive uses of the pantheon, and it’s a lot of fun to read.
Heavy Water – I don’t want to spoil anything, but Heavy Water is partially based on a true story. One of the key characters is an actual person who really existed, and was instrumental in the Norwegian fight against Nazi occupation. The parts about time travel, however, are completely invented.
