Anne Carson's Antigone comic has been renamed Antigonick and comes out in May.

There may be no more War Music: Logue died back in December.

Is it really a -comic-?

Hand-drawn and lettered, partly by her.

Like with panels and speech balloons and onomatopoeia and everything? Is it merely a graphically told story or an engagement with the comic book genre as well?

One can only hope, though I'm not sure which I'm hoping for. I mean I'd worry that she'd have the attitude that she was slumming, or hoity-toitying up, the real genre if she engaged. That she wouldn't engage right. But if she did, it might be great.

I hate Christopher Logue's "accounts" of the Iliad. So the fear is that she'd Logueify both Antigone and the genre. But maybe I should trust her more. She is so really good as both poet and translator, despite occasional self-indulgence.

No way! Excited for this. It also reminds me I've been meaning to check out Logicomix for ages.
