REIGN THE CONQUEROR
A reworking of the story of Alexander the Great with character designs by Peter Chung (Aeon Flux). The series mixes anime conventions, sci-fi and fantasy elements, special effects, and ancient history. Alexander's comrades and future generals, including Hephaestion and Ptolemy, have been recast as effete courtiers. Bucephalus ("Ox-head"), his steed, is a flesh-eating monster. His mother is a Medea-esque sorceress, and his tutor Aristotle has the inevitably spunky niece, Cassandra. The magician-disciples of Pythagoras appear in search of the "Platohedron." Reign was slated for the Adult Swim bloc on the Cartoon Network
