Hades and Persephone's love-struck misadventures!

The classic tale of Greek mythology, but 100 percent more awkwardly relatable. Hades is the officious, antisocial ruler of the Underworld. Persephone, daughter of Demeter, is an earth goddess of growth and renewal - they've been crushing on each other for the past two centuries. But when a festival (and a little liquid courage) present an opportunity to put an end to their Olympian will-they-won't-they, a meddlesome pantheon and several titanic mis-assumptions threaten to give every god in the sky the wrong impression... and leave their romance dead before it can bloom.

    Punderworld Vol. 1 excels at its comedic aspect, where Hades' introverted personality completely contrasts with Persephones. This contrast is explored further through the comics artwork and colors. On the one hand, the color scheme of Hades underworld follows his personality, where the dark background is metaphorical to his introverted side. On the other hand, much of Persephone's personality is illustrated in the conversation with Demeter and the interaction with Hades and changes depending on her mood. Read Full Review

    This is a collection of a pretty popular webcomic, and it will be interesting to see how it does up against Lore Olympus, another Hades & Persephone retelling that is set to be released in October. As with a lot of webcomics that get collected, the pacing can be a bit strange because of how it was originally released, and how the author intended to keep the audience hooked between releases. A good chunk of this volume is spent on the fight between Persephone and Demeter, which is juxtaposed with Hades getting some love advice from Zeus. The back and forth is unnecessary at times. Once the two mains are together, the story does move at a much nicer pace and has plenty to keep readers going. Read Full Review
