ODY-C: Cycle One

"ODY-C is a stunning interplanetary adaptation of The Odyssey, both graphic and novel, which makes Homer new. In the world of ODY-C, most of the men are dead, and the gods and heroes are powerful, muscled warrior women with flowing hair and no mercy. Instead of cunning Odysseus, creators Matt Fraction and Christian Ward give us the “witchjack and wanderer” Odyssia. Reading ancient literature can occasionally feel like a lesson in the disposability of women. But change is the essence of Homeric poetry, and with ODY-C, two male comic book creators have made a Greek hero worthy of women."
