'I am INDRA, the son of Dyaus. I am THUNDER! I am the King of Gods! Those that have stood before me have either become friends or have been crushed by my Vajra. Like Virithra, the serpent demon that held the waters of a young world hostage, and who could not be killed by any metal, or wood, or stone. I decimated him with my Vajra, crafted from the bones of the sage Dadhichi. I am the ruler of Svarga (Heaven,) master of the nubile Apsaras (nymphs,) the lord of Soma (The sweet wine of Ambrosia,) and the tamer of Airavaat, the four tusked elephant of lore. I invite you to come see for yourself the might of Indra and the splendor of Amarvati Prime, the city of Gods.' Cover price $2.99.

Virgin Comics and Deepak Chopra present the story of Saraswati, she of the white swan, daughter of Brahma and the wise but temperamental goddess of wisdom and learning. In an ancient age ridiculed by his wife for his lack of intellectual finesse, a young man named Kalidasa embarks on a quest to achieve enlightenment. His prayers are answered as Saraswati blesses him with the wisdom of sages and prophesizes his destiny to be the greatest of all poets, yet lost in his youthful enthusiasm the young poet hastily composes a hymn in honor of the goddess marveling at not only her wisdom and prowess, but also her ethereal beauty. Miffed at this seeming affront the goddess puts a curse on Kalidasa that he shall lose his glib tongue in the holy city of VaransiÉ Cover price $2.99.
