Daniel Andrlik reviewed Ody-C: Off to far Ithicaa by Matt Fraction
Review of 'Ody-C' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Loved the concept behind this one. The art is beautiful, and it's so much fun to see a gender-swapped Odyssey, especially with all the sci-fi elements. I particularly enjoyed the reinterpretations of the gods of Olympus.
My only real complaint is that it's perhaps too loyal to it's source material. I think there was some more fun that could have been had here in terms of prose style, while keeping true to a retelling. In some cases the translation of encounters from the original tale is perhaps a bit too literal, but I did enjoy details such as Odyssia using the bones of the fallen as their weapons against the cyclops as opposed to tree trunks.
