About the Book
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 dactylic hexameter 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.

"A trippy, gender-flipped version of Homer's Odyssey, ODY-C is an epic poem hurtling through space on psychedelic, science fiction wings."
– Wired
"There really is nothing else like this out there, both in terms of content and aspiration, and, as such, fans of sf and experimental or independent comics should greet this one with great enthusiasm."
