I'm picking it up. It looks awesome based on the previews. The art is really good, and I have complete faith in Jay Faerber's writing. It'll be out tomorrow in the states.
Greek to Me: Faerber on “Pilot Season: Urban Myths”
CBR talks to writer Jay Faerber about “Pilot Season: Urban Myths,” a private eye story set in a world where Ancient Greece exists into the modern day, complete with meddlesome gods and snake-haired monsters.

This is the first Pilot Season book I'm going to pick up.
I keep telling myself to buy the others, but Faerber's name in the credits was enough to make me finally buy one.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.
This year's Pilot Season just hasn't been as interesting as last year's event. Urban Myths is probably the first Pilot Season book I've had a real interest in, in particular because Faerber's is writing the book.
Jay Faerber creates an incredibly interesting new world in which mythology and today's society mix together. Jack Madusa is a private detective with one problem, he got his mom's good looks. He wears an iron mask so not to turn everyone to stone. This one-shot may be one of my favorite Faerber books (and that is a lot considering he writes such amazing books as Noble Causes, Dynamo 5, and Gemini).
Jack is on the case to find a missing girl who ran away from home. Along the way he must battle a few cyclops and go into a deep coma to make his way into Hades to see if he can find the missing girl.
The writing is top notch, and what else would you expect from Faerber, combined with some of the most beautiful art and colors you will find in a book. The conversations Jack has with himself are priceless and really allow you to dive right into the characters head. This is a Pilot Season book that can be voted on at www.myspace.com/pilotseason starting in August. The winner of the contest gets 6 more issues to tell their story. Who couldn't use more Jack Madusa and his mythical world come to life?
