The company seems to be based around body growth/muscle growth comics (from what I can see of their characters) but instead of being satisfied
with that tiny fetish niche, they seem to want to push into the mainstream and tell real stories.
The first heroine, Patriotika, seems to be a combination of Wonder Woman, Power Girl and She-Hulk, although the costume itself seems reminiscent
of Superheroine Central's American Fox. Wonder Woman because she gets her powers from merging with the spirit of the goddess Athena (good thing Greek mythology isn't copyrighted, eh?). Power Girl because of her blonde hair, buxom breast-window and voluptuous body. And She-Hulk because of the explosive muscle growth that takes place when college girl Erin transforms into Patriotika. Not only does she have the usual super-strength and flight powers, etc., but she also has the ability to "power up" other people (turning them into her allies), which could portend a lot of great muscle growth scenes. All of this, combined with an exciting story, makes this look very sexy indeed - in fact, one of the hottest new concepts to come around in a while.
I guess the only issue I have with this story and concept is that it doesn't seem to know what it wants to really be: 1) muscle growth comic or 2) voluptuous superheroine (closer to the SHIP community style). Because you see the obvious muscle growth, but then you also see the sexy depiction of Patriotika and although she's very alluring and desirable, all those muscles seem to have vanished. So is the muscular version some kind of intermediary form? I hope these questions will be answered when the comic comes out.
It looks like the whole thing about printing the book depends on a Kickstarter, and although I know some people are wary of contributing to these things, it seems fairly solid and it looks it's already funded, so you wouldn't feel the need to contribute a lot, maybe just $15 to get yourself a copy of #1 shipped to your door. One of the "stretch goal" premiums that is being worked on is AZPowergirl portraying Patriotika in a cosplay photo shoot, and that is something I'd love to see very much and I hope you would, too. So if what you see on the Kickstarter page intrigues you, maybe take a look at it, no pressure.
Mount Olympus also has other heroines coming down the pike (you can see art examples on their DeviantArt page http://mountolympuscomics.deviantart.com) such as Collateral Dee, who grows to incredible size with a stimulation of electricity (so she is like Giganta or Elasti Girl) and the Valkyries, a group of college girls who become mighty warrior maidens to save the Earth.
