Odyssey Comics: The Greatest Comic Universe That Never Existed: Book of the Cosmic Universe

A bold meta-comic from Odyssey Comics Entertainment, this 2025 series by writer/artist Gene Shanks explores the sprawling, never-published "Cosmic Universe" of a fictional publisher. Through a single issue, Shanks constructs an entire imaginary comics line, complete with its own heroes, cosmology, and behind-the-scenes lore. It's a loving tribute to the grand, ambitious shared universes that almost were, examining why some ideas never make it to the newsstand.
