Description

“

Godzilla's tour of the literary canon continues as it smashes its way across The Odyssey in this oversize standalone one-shot! Homer's The Odyssey is widely considered to be the greatest epic of all time. So, how could you possibly make it more epic? Fill it with kaiju, that's how. Odysseus' journey home was already challenging enough, but what if instead of storms, sirens, and cyclopes, the gods sent monsters even more powerful than the titans? And what if Zeus sent the most powerful one of all to assist the king on his odyssey? It's like Homer said: "Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is stronger than Godzilla." Written by Frank Tieri, illustrated by Ilias Kyriazis, and featuring part two of Tom Scioli's Godzilla vs. Robin Hood.

Trivia

• IDW's earlier comic Godzilla: Rage Across Time #2 dealt with Godzilla battling the Olympians, namely Zeus, Poseidon, and Ares.
• The word "odyssey", invented by Homer for the title of his epic, was used prior to this comic in the title of the manga series Godzilla Galaxy Odyssey.
• King Ghidorah and Titanosaurus are identified with Scylla and Charybdis from the Odyssey. A Titan named after Scylla is featured in the Monsterverse, and during production of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was called Charybdis.
• Godzilla wields a boulder on cover A instead of the Odyssey's Polyphemus. He straddles a waterway similar to some depictions of the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant statue of the god Helios which once stood in Ancient Greece.
• Sanda and Gaira are included on cover B, marking their first appearance in connection with an IDW project since Godzilla: Rulers of Earth over a decade prior. They do not appear in the comic itself, however.
• Cover C recreates a poster for the 1981 film Clash of the Titans, with Godzilla in place of the Kraken. The film's stop-motion effects were created by Ray Harryhausen, who'd done the same for The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, one of the chief inspirations for the original Godzilla (1954). Decades later, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. co-financed a 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans, making it a giant monster–infused collaboration between the two studios that predates the Monsterverse.
• A Cyclops included on the retail incentive cover appears to be patterned after the ones from the Harryhausen production The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. In the comic itself, the only Cyclops featured besides Gigan is a skeleton.
