Product Description
A demented take on Homer’s classical Greek epic, The Odyssey, brought to you by the twisted genius of Peter Milligan (X-Statix) and Tank Girl co-creator and artist, Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz).
Booga, Tank Girl’s husband, is being wooed by Hollywood agents but Tank Girl is missing and his resolve is crumbling, fast! Tele, their TV-headed son, sets out on a mercy dash to find his mother... in the process triggering a chain of events that will see Tank Girl, not only, face death itself, the siren call of Goth rock and a cyclopean hotel proprietor, but also a host of other scenes and characters based on The Odyssey... give or take the odd — ahem — “idiosyncratic” Tank Girl twist. With a new introduction from Alan Martin.

Tank Girl gets her grubby paws on the Odyssey..., Feb 7 2010

This review is from: Tank Girl: The Odyssey (Remastered Edition) (Paperback)
This comic is essentially a "Tank Girl" version of the Odyssey. We start out with Tank Girl having been at a party for years at "Troy's house," when Booga (kangaroo bf) is given an offer by a movie agent to be made a "much bigger star than Tank Girl." Meanwhile, Tank Girl assembles a crew (various cast regulars and cameos by the creators) to get back in time to slaughter Booga's suitor and must overcome obstacles such as Tankie's dead mother, a hotel that only accepts payments in eyeballs, a goth-rock band called "The Sirens" and more. What I think is admirable about this is that Alan Martin, co-creator and usual writer of Tank Girl, stepped out and was replaced with Peter Milligan for this story. Peter Milligan, with fairly limited knowledge of Tank Girl, managed to capture the essence of Tank Girl and also wove an interesting "Tank Girl/punk rock/bogjoke" interpretation of the Odyssey. This book, like the other remastered editions I've reviewed, has an introduction from the author (a different author this time) as well as an additional comic about Tank girl and Booga camping out in Arlington National Cemetery. The story for Tank Girl Odyssey isn't too bad, although there are times when you can almost tell that it's being written by someone else (mainly because it doesn't end with Alan Martin's usual "then she takes acid and blows up the planet" type of ending). As for the content, it's the usual immature substance abuse, drinking, toilet humor, femme fatale act you'd expect from Tank Girl. The Odyssey reference is also pretty interesting for those of you who aren't uncultured swine.

Tank Girl: The Odyssey, Feb 13 2011

This review is from: Tank Girl: The Odyssey (Remastered Edition) (Paperback)
I'm really glad I got this book. It's funny and the art is good and it kinda does follow "The Odyssey". It was made after the horrible movie, so there's cracks in the story about it. The staff is included as characters (poor Jamie). I guess I should add that it's not for small children. But, if you're getting a "Tank Girl" you probably know that already. For me, a 43 yr old geek girl, this was the perfect thing to unwind and lighten up after stressful days. BLOOD AND SNOT!!

Tank Girl TPs, Dec 2 2008
By beansidhe.harmony "dischord" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tank Girl: The Odyssey (Paperback)
Great book, lots of post-apocalyptic beer-guzzling, butt-smoking, heat-packing action. It never hurts when your boyfriend is a homicidal manimal who resembles what was once a kangaroo, either. Sweet.
Listmania!
