ODY-C is an ongoing American comic book created by writer Matt Fraction and artist Christian Ward.[1] The series is a science fictional and gender-bent re-imagination of Homer's Odyssey. The first issue was published in November 2014 by Image Comics.

Synopsis

The narrative follows Odyssia's adventures as she travels home after an intergalactic war with Troiia.

Odyssia is the equivalent of Homer's main character Odysseus; Troiia stands for Troy and Ithicaa for Odysseus' native island, Ithaca.

Development

Writer Matt Fraction was partly inspired to write the series to create a "classic mythological hero for my daughter."[2]

Reception

While ongoing, the series has attracted favorable reviews and attention, including from IGN, USA Today, and Wired.[3][4][5]
