The monster Zah from Issues 5 & 6 is one of my favorite characters from Oona the Unvanquishable. I love this drawing of him by Brad Grochowski, who produces and performs the audio drama. #SwordandSorcery

Having watched Nolan's The Odyssey, a key (and pretty well-known) attribute of Odysseus's character is his cleverness. I feel like this character trait is often lost in today's modern hero. Brute strength & super powers are favored over intelligence and strategic thinking. 1/3
