ODYC Vol 1 Off to Far Ithica Matt Fraction Christian Ward Books

ODY-C, Vol. 1 is writer Matt Fraction's and illustrator/colorist Christian Ward's take on Homer's The Odyssey. Genders are switched – Odyssia and Zeus are women – genders are mixed, and genders are thrown out the window. Odyssia and her crew of women are on a ten-year voyage home following a century-long galactic war. In this first volume, the journey begins, they go to the lotus gardens, and they meet the cyclops.

While the influences of Homer are strong, the book has its own voice. Ward's illustrations pleasantly remind me of Moebius's, and although this is a difficult book to get into, it's a hard one to put down. I read it over 30 or 40 minutes. The illustrations are definitely more engaging than the writing is, the latter being a bit too dense at times, although I did appreciate the textural line numbers. It gave the title the feel of an epic poem which might be lost on some readers. I had a hard time ranking this book, and I ended up vacillating between ***3/4 and ****. I decided on the latter, giving the collection ****, which probably means I'll buy the next collection.

ODYC Vol 1 Off to Far Ithica Matt Fraction Christian Ward Books Reviews

Having never read Homer's Odyssey, I was a bit skeptical about going into this interpretation. Boy-howdy, am I glad I did. Christians Ward's art really paints the setting that Matt Frampton story is taking place in. It's not an easy read by any means, but I would recommend this to people familiar with Homer's work and people that may want to eventually read Homer's work.
I love this complicated, mind-bending book. It's been ages since I picked up something so challenging and dense, and enjoy each page. The writing is lyrical and poetic, as befits a re-imagining of Homer's work, and the art is beyond anything I've ever seen. This should be required reading for sci-fi and classics lovers, regardless of whether you've liked Fraction's past work or enjoy comic books. This is truly something else that you have to see to believe.
An ambitious project well executed. At times it's a tad dense, especially at the beginning, but I think I had that reaction partially because I have read of Matt Fraction's work that I was expecting his typical style, and this is different. That said, once you get into the rhythm of the book it is SO GOOD. An interesting retelling of the Odyssey, and then there's Christian Ward's art which is MIND BLOWING. I actually met him (and Matt) at a convention and he is so low-key about his work, but this is one of the most incredible visual experiences I've had in comics. Matt Fraction actually says the same thing about it, which tells you something. Definitely recommended.
This is an incredible retelling of the Odyssey. The illustrations are beyond spectacular and lend another dimension to the story itself. It is worth rereading many times just to appreciate the interaction of the story and the visual experience. I will definitely buy the next volume.
Matt Fraction just grabbed quotes from Odssey and places them as fragments on the page of over the top illustrations. The illustrations are the reason to get this book. Just too look at them. But even they are too much. But hey you might really dig it if your young. I mean "psychedelic" in 2015, lush color, but almost indecipherable. Supercolor is the hero of this book.
ODY-C is a great example of how comics are continuing to develop as a medium. A masterful partnership between Ward and Fraction creates a vibrant re-telling of the Odyssey with a very complex re-understanding of gender. The images blow you away and the words make you think. Not for the beginning comics reader, especially one expecting a "typical" comic book, but that is also what makes it great.
Matt Fraction and Christian Ward's ODY-C rewrites the Homer's Odyssey in the mode of Jodorowsky influenced psychedelic space opera-reversing genders, bending genders, and throwing some genders to the four winds of the universe. The gods also play a profound role in the book, but in some ways, Zeus is made central and even more capricious than Zeus's role in Homer. Fraction writes in a poetic and faux-epic monologue, but never goes into pure pastiche or parody and retains some of his own flavors. The imaginary is wild Ward's art is more psychedelic than even Mobius's Métal hurlant work but also very feminine despite its wildness. It's not perfect, and sometimes the abstractness of the art makes the action a little hard to follow, it is always interesting.
