Ody-C: Cycle One by Matt Fraction
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.

Not in the mood and was confused and overwhelmed with the tidalwave of new characters and information thrown at you from the start, esp since I know very little about Greek myth and who the people in those myths are.

Also after closer inspection of the illustrations throughout the whole book I'm not interested in a lot of the content. Probably won't pick this back up again
