From the publisher

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.

About the author

Matt Fraction writes comic books out in the woods and lives with his wife, writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, his two children, two dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, and a yard full of coyotes and crows. Surely there's a metaphor there. He's a New York Times-best-selling donkus of comics like Sex Criminals (winner of the 2014 Will Eisner Award for Best New Series and named TIME Magazine's Best Comic of 2013), ODY-C, and Casanova. Under their company Milkfed Criminal Masterminds, Inc., Fraction and DeConnick are currently developing television for NBC/Universal.

After 10 years of encouraging London teenagers to draw anything other than comics, Christian Ward is now a multi-Eisner Award winning comic book artist and writer.

He is best known for his cosmic space operas ODY-C (co-created with Matt Fraction) and Invisible Kingdom (co-created with G. Willow Wilson). He was also the artist on the acclaimed Marvel comics series Black Bolt (with Saladin Ahmed), as well contributing to both Thor (with Jason Arron) and Batman (with James Tynion IV). In 2019 he released his first book as a writer, Machine Gun Wizards (co-created with Sami Kivel) and has juggled loving writing comics with loving drawing comics ever since.

Ward currently lives in Shrewsbury with his two daughters, his wife Catherine, and a pug named Thor.
