BUT that does NOT mean that i'm going to NOT collect the gorgeous special edition print versions hehe.

i felt so much more for these characters and their lives, and was left with a good balance of desperately wanting to know what will come next. Hades and Persephone: This book doesn't venture into anyone else's background, it's mostly them disecretly mooning over each other and trying to reason with all the pros and cons. Follow the propulsive love story of two Greek gods, told with lavish artwork and contemporary sensibilities.Welcome back to Lore Olympus, the spicy modern retelling of Greek mythology that centers on an adorable Hades and Persephone romance. I could not put this graphic novel down and cannot wait to see more of Persephone and Hades--and the rest of the Lore Olympus pantheon.

However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home - from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo - and she’s struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods. I for one don't think they understand the underlying thoughts and feeling,s and how the story should be relayed, and are using their bias to tell their version of events. damsel in emotional distress - його взагалі більш-менш задовольняє його робота, його собачки, його нинішні емоційно відсторонені стосунки, йому не зовсім зрозумілі й не зовсім потрібні оці всі емоційні надмірності свіжої закоханості, що розколупують його, як устрицю ("Мені взагалі подобається, коли на душі тепло й затишно?It's paced as a soap opera, all drawn-out tensions and long-simmering secrets, and I, for one, am thrilled to be along for the ride. Smythe adapts the story of Persephone and Hades, removing it from its dark origins and building a brand-new epic with her own complex and beautiful characters. Finally, I just want to gush for a million years about how fuckin' CUTE Perse and Cerberus are 😭 What a good boy!

She is raped, gas lighted, blackmailed and more still she’s trying to be who she really is but is being bullied at every turn by those that believe they know best. Hades will never leave her he’s protective of her innocence and with reason as others wish to use her as a pawn. The characters are very dynamic and experience a whole range of emotions, really bringing them to life beyond the traditional tales.

There were also some Choices™️ made by Hades at the end of this volume that I'm extremely displeased with, buuut I also feel pretty certain they'll be taken care of sooner rather than later! This full-color edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story, and brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.

I think I’m into this modern twist on Hades and Persephone and all things Greek lore, because I could not stop reading it.

The artwork is rich and dramatic, with gorgeous colors and bold linework, each panel a dreamy treat for the eyes. Lore Olympus è sempre una lettura comfort nonostante questo volume sia un po' di assestamento/transizione. You can read the entire Webtoon here, but also I do love having the physical copies of these as the art is stunning and really pops.
