ODY-C, Vol. 1: Off to Far Ithicaa
by Matt Fraction, Christian Ward
A gender-shifted space-opera reimagining Homer's Oddyssey with phantasmagorical art and written with fluid, classical cadences and rhythms. It's one of the oldest of stories, of course: after the fall of Troiia, Odyssa and her warriors begin the long trek back to Ithaca. Having offended Poseidon and irked Zeus, she finds herself tossed by star-storms and cast adrift, beset by enemies and plagued by monsters. It's stunningly imaginative, dizzying and disorienting, filled with passion and poetry and hideous violence and insane divine familial relationships. Proper myth, then. If the superheroic and the divine overlap in The Wicked And The Divine, this propels pulp comics into the magnificent and sordid grandeur of ancient legend.
