Fox has bought Athena, a drama project from writer Lisa Joy (Pushing Daisies), Chernin Entertainment and 20th Century Fox TV. The project, which has received a script commitment, is based on Joy’s graphic novel, Headache, a coming-of-age drama about a 23 year-old woman who discovers she’s Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare. 
Each week she must maintain her secret identity while battling a slew of ancient monsters from Greek mythology and searching to uncover which of the other Greek gods is secretly plotting against her to take over the Earth. Joy, repped by UTA and attorney Michael Schenkman, will write the adaptation and will executive produce with Peter Chernin and Kathrine Pope. She most recently was a co-producer on USA’s Burn Notice.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

I liked it when it was called ISIS.
mixed w/ CHUCK
Wonder Woman meets Buffy.
This will be awsome! The graphic novel was really fun and Lisa’s a brilliant writer!
This belongs on the CW.
They’re monster peddlers.
Would definitely give this a try!! Love Greek/roman/Egyptian mythology
Lisa has done great work at USA — I knew she’d be going back to the big leagues soon. This should be an awesome project too.
Lisa is such a talented writer and a great human being. She deserves all the success that is coming to her. Can’t wait to see where this project goes!
As a female writer working in Hollywood, I’ve been aware of Lisa for several years now. She really sets the bar. Great with story and characters. She also has amazing hair.
Hmm. I like it.
Since the character on her comic cover appears to look just like her, I hope she stars in it too!
Just make sure it airs on the CW, or ABC, or something. Make sure that women watch it, because no guy in his right mind will watch this.
