Synopsis
The narrative follows Odyssia's adventures as she travels home after an intergalactic war with Troiia.
Odyssia is the equivalent of Homer's main character Odysseus; Troiia stands for Troy and Ithicaa for Odysseus' native island, Ithaca.
Development
Writer Matt Fraction was partly inspired to write the series to create a "classic mythological hero for my daughter."[2]
Reception
While ongoing, the series has attracted favorable reviews and attention, including from IGN, USA Today, and Wired.[3][4][5]
