✔️ The way that emotional abuse and sexual trauma are handled here is commendable ✔️ Death is too lenient for Apollo's entitled ass ✔️ This comic is basically TRAUMA: gods & goddesses edition ✔️ Zeus doesn't deserve a queen like Hera ✔️ When is Minthe gonna get turned into mint? ✔️ Wtf you deserve to be loved and cared for Hades and not just be given half-assed attention ✔️ Topless Hades is a sight I don't deserve but here we are ✔️ 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. Winner of Goodreads Choice Awards for Comics and Graphic Novels
