I'm dying to see Virgin Comic's comic books and animation based on Indian and South-Asian tradition and mythology. The idea of portraying stories that are thousands of years old in a medium like comix or anime makes me feel all tingly.
Ramayan Reborn from Virgin Comics is a graphic, post-apocalyptical reinvention of Indian mythology told by IndiaÂ’s two greatest creators, bestselling author Deepak Chopra [whatev -ed] and acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth, Bandit Queen) [now we're talking -ed].
"I am thrilled to be contributing to the Virgin Comics library of titles," said Deepak Chopra. "There are very few Western allegories with mythic storytelling, intrepid heroes and interwoven dimensions on this level. HomerÂ’s Odyssey and TolkienÂ’s Lord of the Rings come to mind."
Ramayan Reborn #1 should be in stores September 6. Virgin's got issue #0 up for free on their site.
