THE ILIAD GN - TPB

Written by ROY THOMAS (based on the epic poem BY HOMER)
Penciled by MIGUEL ANGEL SEPULVEDA
Cover by PAOLO RIVERA

Whether its author was truly a blind poet named Homer, who also composed The Odyssey…or whether the epic poem grew over a period of several centuries, added to by many men and perhaps women… is not known. And probably never will be. Yet it remains, after many centuries, one of the greatest war stories—no, one of the greatest stories—in all of literature. A tale of war between the Achaeans (Greeks) and the besieged Trojans over the fate of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world…a test of wills between the fabled warrior Achilles and the war chief Agamemnon… with a climactic battle between Achilles and Hector, the foremost defender of Troy. A saga of gods and men, each possessed of grand desires…and all too human failings. The Iliad is both a whirl of scarlet action—and of the equally violent emotions that rule mankind.

Attacked from within! For years, humans have warred with the Skrulls, a nefarious race of shape-shifting aliens — but now, having developed a way to avoid any type of detection, the Skrulls have infiltrated Earth’s superhuman community at every conceivable level, including the chief administrator of the Fifty State Initiative, Hank Pym, a.k.a. Yellowjacket. Leading up to the Skrulls’ full-scale attack on the planet, the Pym imposter used his political clout to station one of his fellow aliens on every single one of the Initiative’s fifty state-based teams. Now, with Skrulls openly attacking cities across the world and the entire planet in chaos, those sleeper agents have been activated. The current cadets and those trained by the Initiative must put all their instruction and hard work to use to foil the Skrulls’ takeover bid. But first they have to figure who, if anyone, they can trust. Collecting AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #14-19.
