Introducing Nightmare Odyssey
Devastated by the war crimes of Troy, Ulysses forsakes the tradition of human sacrifice that upholds his age and vows to never kill again. Cursed by men and gods alike, he must survive a perilous ten-year journey home with his crew of fallen heroes and prophets. But what will remain of the home he knew or the nightmare he’s become?
Nightmare Odyssey is the new graphic novel series from writer Maximus Groves and artist Atagun Ilhan.
Book #1 - Ilium / Troy
Following the apparent desertion of the Greek army, in the still of the night five men descend from the horse they left behind, an idol to Athena’s wisdom brought within Troy’s impregnable walls. Evading the ever-present eyes of the gods, the team of Ulysses, Ajax, Menelaus, Daedalus, and Icarus execute the greatest heist in history.
History’s Greatest Story
Washed up on the shore of Scheria with nothing but a mysterious helmet, Ulysses recounts the night of the horse to King Alcinous and the ocean of blood that followed. He recalls their encounters with the impossibly beautiful Helen, the cursed prophet Cassandra, Aeneas the forefather of Rome, and Troy’s commander Deiphobus on the final night of the Trojan War and the many perils that follow.
An Ongoing Epic
Our series draws from the entire epic cycle, navigating each island of the Odyssey and recounting notable tales from the war. Join them as they unravel ancient mysteries to wield the power of the gods, pay the costs of hubris, and understand the meaning of sacrifice.
