TONAWANDA, NY (June 20, 2019): What happens when gods find out they’re actually monsters? Acclaimed creators Ron Marz, Tom Raney, and Bart Sears tell the story in the DREAD GODS OLYMPIAN EDITION, a science-fiction fantasy of god-like proportions, now on Kickstarter from Ominous Press and Creation.Ink.

The DREAD GODS OLYMPIAN EDITION is an oversize, 196-page hardcover, collecting the original four-issue mini-series, plus a brand new, 10-page story by writer Marz and artist Raney, along with more than 70 pages of bonus material, including a cover gallery and behind-the-scenes sketches and designs.

The story is set in a post-apocalyptic landscape where the population plugs into daily entertainment provided by the Prometheus conglomerate, featuring god-like beings led by Zeus and Hera. As his long-simmering feud with Hades is about to reach a boiling point, Zeus is plagued by dreams hinting that what he believes to be reality is merely a carefully constructed fantasy. Meanwhile, in the barren Wasteland, a wheelchair-bound man named Carver comes to believe the gods are in need of rescue.

“DREAD GODS is one the most satisfying projects I’ve ever been involved in, especially working with my friends Tom Raney and Bart Sears. I think it’s some of the best work that any of us has done in our careers,” Marz said. “I’m so happy we’re getting the chance to do a truly exceptional edition of the material. This book is going to be gorgeous.”

The DREAD GODS OLYMPIAN EDITION is the ultimate collection, measuring 8 inches by 12 inches, and a full 196 pages. It’s perfect for both those who crave an epic graphic novel experience, and process junkies who want a peek behind the curtain of the creative process. The cover gallery features amazing artwork by Neal Adams, Bart Sears, Tom Raney, Kenneth Rocafort, Cully Hamner, Kevin Maguire, Kelley Jones, and Andy Smith. Rounding out the volume is more than 50 pages of behind-the-scenes artwork, featuring a treasure trove of designs and sketches by both Bart Sears and Tom Raney.

The DREAD GODS OLYMPIAN EDITION will be live on Kickstarter through July 18. The campaign includes both physical and digital editions of the book, as well as a huge Bart Sears poster, single issues signed by Ron Marz, original art, and more.
