I don't want to just descend into laughing at things teenage girls like - it's condescending sexist shittiness. The main characters, Persephone and Hades, don’t have much depth to them, but their relationship is pretty adorable. He spots her at a party with his brothers Zeus and Poseidon and the plot races off down the morally murky highway. I do want to point out that the drawings for all the female characters are overly and unnecessarily sexualized, which truly annoyed me and even made me a little uncomfortable.

I’ve been begging the universe to give me a physical copy of Lore Olympus, and the Gods have delivered! On her first night in the city, Artemis takes Persephone to one of Zeus's parties, where Hades sees her for the first time. Experience the propulsive love story of two Greek gods—Hades and Persephone—brought to life with lavish artwork and an irresistible contemporary voice.

Told in a modern-day Olympus, Persephone is new to Olympus and is dragged to a party by her new roomie, Artemis. Mientras lees Lore Olympus lo único en lo que piensas es que quieres que todo salga bien para Hades y Perséfone, que por fin se confiesen sus sentimientos, que dejen los prejuicios de lado y por fin decidan ser felices y estar juntos. Upon hearing this, Aphrodite gets Persephone very drunk and puts her in the back of Hades' car, to teach her a lesson for "smiting the goddess of beauty. Rachel Smythe's artwork is vivid and enchanting, with deeply relatable characters and a deft handling of their dark pasts.

But of course, they can't be together because Persephone is supposed to be a candidate for the goddesses of eternal maidenhood. Una de las cosas que más me ha gustado ha sido el guion, los diálogos están súper bien y hacen que la lectura sea dinámica. i knew that greenhouse was a cage; like almost immediately i was like - girl, persy, that looks like a fucking cage! In jeder Zeichnung liegt so viel Gefühl, Charakter und Niedlichkeit, dass es auf mich gewirkt und in mir ganz viel Freude ausgelöst hat. The art was INCREDIBLE but as someone who isn't super familiar with greek myths, I was a little lost for a lot of this lol.This edition of Smythe's original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. sorry but minthe might be my fav character 🏃🏽‍♀️ i think she's a great example of how well-rounded the writing is.
