I pitched this concept art to Wildstorm in 2008. The basic premise involved the Argonauts assembling in modern times to stop Jason’s ex-wife, the sorceress Medea.
My favorite character was Perseus, one of the ancient heroes. His curse was to secure the head of Medusa. He can’t let her go. She is a constant nag and became somewhat of a motherly figure to him. He wears tennis shoes that allow him to fly and his hood allows him to turn invisible. He’s very disturbed and quite the emo.
The giant in the back is a Cyclops inventor named Brontes. He was one of three Cyclopes supposedly killed by Apollo.
The cute girl in the foreground left is a Harpy.
One of Hercules’ daughter is lifting the smart car.
Jason wields a magical shield.
The Argo is a Thunderbird style ship and Zeus lives as a businessman in Olympus tower.
There is also a character on a hover bike in the back left who was the only female serving on Jason’s Greek crew, Atalanta.
I had a lot of fun creating the characters and situations. It got a little watered down in the process and ultimately would have come off as derivative with so much other Greek legend stories coming out at the same time.
Maybe another time–
