If there were a single thing that drew my interest, aside from my interest in Greek myth & the original stories by Homer, it would have to be that money-shot of a double page spread… All of the epic scope, the tension, the “wow” of the very best space battles put to film, right in the palm of your hand.
The Odyssey, written by Bruno Catarino and illustrated by Erwin J. Arroza, builds on what’s been done before and crafts a sharp-looking comic of mythic proportions. All of the interstellar intrigue and in-fighting of works like A Song of Ice & Fire or The Expanse, bringing something new to a classic story of fighting a war & wanting to go home.
(From the Kickstarter page) Our goal when adapting The Odyssey as a sci-fi space opera was to bring it to the 21st century and RECAPTURE the same sense of WONDER and IMPOSSIBLE ODDS that the original had in ancient times.
In the 21st century, the sea has almost no mysteries left. Space does.
In the 21st century, the distance between Troy and Ithaca are almost meaningless. But if they were separated by light-years of never-ending void…
In the 21st century, we know there are no Gods who rule the world. Oligarchs do. AI does.
And that’s why, in the 21st century, we chose to retell this story through a sci-fi prism, set in space, in a galaxy far far away…
