When last we heard from actor Michael Chiklis, it sounded like he'd reached his limit in terms of comic books and comic book movies. And who could blame the guy? The costume he had to wear for his role as Ben Grimm in the "Fantastic Four" series of films looked pretty brutal to have to strap on for weeks at a time.
However, it looks like Chiklis is headed back to the world of four-color heroes, only he'll be upgrading his role from the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing to that of a Greek God. According to a Variety report, Chiklis' Extravaganza Productions will team up with IDW Publishing to create an all-new series of graphic novels titled "Olympus," telling the tales of ancient Greek gods who return to a ravaged and chaotic present-day Earth to resume their battle with the Titans for the future of mankind.
Chiklis and Extravaganza Productions will oversee the books, of which they hope to parlay into film, television or video game properties. When asked why the actor -- best known for his role as Detective Vic Mackey on the recently concluded FX series "The Shield" -- decided to return to comics, said Chiklis, "As a kid, I was always fascinated by the Greek gods, so the chance to bring my childhood heroes and villains to life in the modern world is irresistible."
