As seen by me on Christian Ward’s tumblr (though it’s apparently from an exclusive at USA Today, Matt Fraction and Ward have crafted a special little treat for those looking to get into their upcoming series, “ODY-C.” A five page prologue that won’t be in the book itself, the following pages act as a primer for their gender-flipped sci-fi take on Homer’s epic poem.
Take a look:
Starring Odyssia on her journey home, “ODY-C” debuts this November from Image as a “26-chapter series.” We’re certainly no strangers to variations of “The Odyssey” (my personal favorite is still O Brother, Where Art Thou), but if the preview is anything to go by — let alone Fraction and Ward’s previous endeavors, both together in “Dark Horse Presents” and alone in various works — “ODY-C” should be quite an intriguing journey indeed.
