A very condensed story, but they did good conveying the parts of the story they told. The hit the high points of the Odyssey and the end did ok. It's not bloody really and there is minimal violence.

It's a great way to get into this classic. Myths really were action packed and they are still good story. They were told over and over again so that they really work. Just think of all the authors and re-writers of this story before it even got to Homer and he put his stamp on it.

This works in graphic novel form. There seem to be some skips in the story, but I still enjoyed it. It's perfect story for a comic book. I think that superheroes are like Greek myths brought back into our culture.

Good if you want the summery of the myth without to much heavy close reading
