By Matt Fraction

Book Overview

Homer's Odyssey is re-imagined as a psychedelic, gender-broke science-fiction epic that tells the story of three legendary warrior-queens returning home after a centuries-long battle.

"A remarkable comic that gets better with each turn of the page." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"ODY-C is an epic poem hurtling through space on psychedelic, science fiction wings." --Wired

"Fraction and Ward are doing wildly imaginative work." --AV Club

An eye-searing, mind-bending, gender-shattering epic science fiction retelling of Homer's Odyssey starting with the end of a great war in the stars and the beginning of a very long journey home for Odyssia and her crew of warriors.

Told in verse with a visual sensibility that redefines the very possibilities of the comics medium, the journey to Ithicaa begins HERE, by Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals) and Christian Ward (Infinite Vacation, Olympus). Collects issues #1-5.
