The Great Indian Storyboard

"It is Bollywood meets Marvel meets Manga", says Richard Branson, the man who has the knack of being at the right place at the right time, about the new wave in the Indian animation industry. Bransons company is foraying into into the 50-billion dollar world market with Virgin Comics and Virgin Animations and has chosen India as a platform for it's creative operations.
The Virgin team is collaborating with Deepak Chopra believes that Indian myths and legends has the potential to break ground worldwide.
Though I am not a big fan of comic books, I am looking forward to seeing Alex Ross' illustrations in the graphic, post-apocalyptical reinvention of the 2000-year old epic to be released as 'Ramayan Reborn'.
