[edit] Story

Lead character Emma Sonnet returns after disappearing eight years before, with no answers for former best friends Brett and Dawn about where she has been and how she has become the until-now unheard-of tenth sister of the mythological nine Muses, the inspirational daughters of the almighty Zeus.

The story involves a crossover with the Mike Weiringo comic book Tellos.

[edit] Publication

The original series started publication in November 2000, published by Image Comics. It was written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by various artists. It ran for nine issues until February 2002, followed by a collection and a few one-shots. It is now being self published by creator Darren G. Davis at Bluewater Productions.

In 2005, the series was relaunched as The 10th Muse Volume 2 with a new #1 issue, starting publication in April from Alias Enterprises.

Bluewater Productions plans to re-launch The Tenth Muse in 2008 in a whole new series called Tenth Muse 800 set eight hundred years in the future. The mini-series is to be part of Bluewater's "Ray Harryhausen presents" line and is planned to open with a four issue mini-series introducing the new personification of the muse. The story will be penciled by Alex Garcia (Twenty Million Miles More)
