✔️ A form of media where Zeus is portrayed as a piece of shit and the scum of scums that he really is? Win. Random incoherent thoughts after reading season 1: If this is middle grade, then I apologize because I thought it was an adult story, so my expectations might have been off a bit.Įdit: I'm ecstatic that this won on the Goodreads Choice Awards. Is that the audience? My 14 year old daughter is the one who recognized it, so she's actually the one I originally bought it for, but my curiosity got the better of me after I saw all the rave reviews. The gist is that Hades and Persephone lock eyes at a boujee party, and then everyone proceeds to act like awkward 12 years olds. Not a lot happens here, so I'm not really getting the level of OMGFLAIL that I see happening in the reviews.Īgain, this may be due to the fact that this has been miscategorized as something someone who enjoys regular comics would want to read. It's got chubby art, a nice color palette, and an easily digested storyline that updates and retells the Hades/Persephone story in a SQUEE kind of way.
I don't personally get the hype, but I can see why this was successful as a webtoon.Īnd honestly, webtoons are so popular now that I think they deserve their own category. Then again, I assumed they (THEY?) just looked for something with a pastel cover and clapped their hands in joy. I don't understand how that happened because I read a lot of comics and graphic novels and I'd never even heard of this until the nomination. This volume collects episodes 1–25 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.Winner of Goodreads Choice Awards for Comics and Graphic Novels 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. Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics and relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own place-and her own power. When her roommate, Artemis, takes her to a party, her entire life changes: she ends up meeting Hades and feels an immediate spark with the charming yet misunderstood ruler of the Underworld.
Her mother, Demeter, has raised her in the mortal realm, but after Persephone promises to train as a sacred virgin, she’s allowed to live in the fast-moving, glamorous world of the gods. Persephone, young goddess of spring, is new to Olympus. Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love-witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology from creator Rachel Smythe.
