SDCC 2016: Starz Debuts The First Poster From ‘American Gods’

Briefly: Preceding the official American Gods panel tomorrow (from 3:15-4:15PM in room 6BCF), Starz has debuted the first official poster for its upcoming, incredibly anticipated American Gods.

The series posits a war brewing between old and new gods: the traditional gods of mythological roots from around the world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society’s modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs. Its protagonist, Shadow Moon, is an ex-con who becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to Mr. Wednesday, a conman but in reality one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his forces in preparation to battle the new deities.

I’m actually not overly familiar with the book myself, but based on that description, it’s definitely jumped to the top of my must-read list.

You can take a look at the poster below, and be sure to check back for more SDCC and American Gods coverage as it’s announced!
