Ody-C #12

Christian Ward's cover for Ody-C #12 is a striking, unsettling image: a woman with curly hair reclines in a bathtub overflowing with vivid crimson, her expression calm and distant against the chaos of red swirling around her. The deep jewel-toned purple background, laced with a subtle circuit-board pattern, gives the whole composition a psychedelic, science-fiction atmosphere that feels distinctly unlike anything else on shelves in 2016. Matt Fraction's sci-fi reimagining of Greek myth continues here with a story titled "Comedy Tonight" — the darkly ironic title alone suggests the series hasn't lost its sharp, unsettling wit.
