Product Information
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. "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."--Kieron Gillen, co-creator of The Wicked + The Divine Persephone, young goddess of spring, is new to Olympus. 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. 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. Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics and relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own place--and her own power. 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. This volume collects episodes 1-25 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus .Product Identifiers

Reviews"Moody, beautiful, and funny . . . Be transported to a gorgeous reimagining of Greek gods in a modern fantasy setting. You will not be able to put this down once you start!" --Babs Tarr, professional comic artist "Rachel Smythe's Lore Olympus is an addicting, swoony delight. This clever take on a timeless tale is destined to become a modern classic." --Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Fable and Namesake " Lore Olympus is an addictive, romantic gem of a comic, filled with complex, lovable (and hate-able) characters. The artwork is rich and dramatic, with gorgeous colors and bold linework, each panel a dreamy treat for the eyes. I can't wait to continue reading Hades and Persephone's story." --Faith Erin Hicks, Eisner Award winner and New York Times bestselling cartoonist "With vivid, irresistible art and storytelling that would make even the Muses swoon, this modern myth deftly tackles the darkness of the ancient stories while never losing its brilliant light. I couldn't devour it fast enough." --Alexandra Bracken, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lore "This is a refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth. Not only Rachel Smythe's talent as an illustrator shines in Lore Olympus but also her skill with weaving a steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny and emotional retelling." --#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout
