Après la série Satellite Sam sur le début de l’ère télévisuelle, le scénariste Matt Fraction s’attaque à une relecture futuriste de l’odyssée d’Homère. L’histoire de « Ody-C » se déroule après une grande guerre cosmique alors que les héros sont attaqués par des créatures célestes sur le chemin du retour.
Le premier numéro sortira début 2014 avec Christian Ward au dessin.
[quote=« Christian Ward »] “ODY-C” has constantly surprised me and I love that. It’s grown from a relevantly simple of idea of ‘hey, what if all the Odyssey guys were gals and all the gals were guys?’ to very much being its own beast. Matt is a genius. I can honestly say there’s not another book out there like it. Working on something as fresh and exciting as this, with someone like Matt who has this huge love for the medium and pushing it beyond its boundaries is incredibly exhilarating. With “ODY-C’s” foundations in the classic poem and its outlook to psychedelic hardcore science fiction it’s apt to push my page layouts and style to different places. Although it is important to always keep the storytelling at the forefront, and there are times that we keep it simple. Quite accidentally, there’s been touches of Mucha to some of the pages and I love that that’s happen organically.
