Peter Chung Rides Again
Last night, as Justina and I were riding the T to the Puppet Slam, I overheard someone saying that the guy who did Aeon Flux had a new cartoon on Cartoon Network. When I came home, I looked it up, and sure enough, Reign: The Conqueror has finally hit our shores, and the first DVD comes out next week! Peter Chung got together with some of the people who worked on Metropolis (Rintaro) and Trigun (Masao Murayama and Madhouse) to create the series, which is a re-imagining of the life of Alexander the Great. As this meandering “review” mentions, it does take rather entertaining liberties with the source material.
