Odayan
at first glance seems to be Level 10’s answer to Alan Moore’s
V for Vendetta. It is actually a well-written, classic
tale of revenge and the restoration of power, incorporating very
delicately the elements of surprise, deceit, suspense and valor. It
is perfectly illustrated to compliment the excellent writing,
introducing certain nuances which distinctively define the theme,
showing the inspiration and the influences.

The
series starts off with a bang, very smartly using elements of
mythology, history and here-say to create a backdrop for a complex
saga. It introduces us to the main protagonist – Odayan – who
with his mysterious origins, killer instinct, rebellious ideals and a
little narcissism, becomes an instant hit with the reader. We see his
impeccable skills while he duels with and beheads a father whose son
would play a major role developing an ideology, similar in certain
ways to the one that is instilled in Odayan himself.
