Lore Olympus is an addictive, romantic gem of a comic, filled with complex, lovable (and hateable) characters. 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. 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. Aquelas folhas mais durinhas meio plastificadas, mais ou menos como alguns papéis de foto (quem lê histórias nesse formato vai entender).

It’s all fast cars, high fashion, and rich folks with too much time on their hands and a complete lack of fucks to give about anyone other than themselves, and I’m here for it. The story is about the myth of Persephone's abduction by Hades but in a modern world of friendships, lies and gossips and the wild parties where we get to see the different sides of greek gods.

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. eros asking aphrodite why she's jealous of an adorable pink cinnamon roll 🤣🤭 so true tho why does she have to be? This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative, and as witty as it is startlingly romantic.What Scott Pilgrim did for Canadian slackers, Lore Olympus does for the Greek pantheon, while being so beautiful that you know Aphrodite is just staring daggers in its direction. As my friend Al suggested, the art is very reminiscent of Kyle Baker with maybe a little Babs Tarr thrown in. The women have hourglass figures, most of them have mucho boobage, they have round faces and pouty mouths. 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.

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. All in all, I thought this was okay, but I have to admit that I expected more from this because of all the hype it had.
