Sacrifice is the second in a projected seven-volume retelling of the Trojan War in graphic novel AKA comic book format. Shanower is telling the full story, integrating myth and literature from throughout the classical ages. As one very familiar with the Illiad and Odyssey, but little familiar with later sources (for example, I gave the Aeniad a half-hearted skim for a college course 25 years ago), I'm getting a lot of blanks filled in by reading it. I give it **** and consider its genre to be both graphic novels and mythological material; as either it is terrific.
