Lore Olympus: Volume Two

Just too many heteronormativity issues with this one! Persephone being a naive, innocent damsel was not a vibe for me, I really hope she experiences a lot of character growth throughout the other volumes. I also think it was a very poor choice to end this volume where it did—with Persephone being raped, and no chance for her (or me) to process it. This probably doesn't come across as quite so jarring in the webcomic format, but in a hard copy where you close the book minutes after reading that scene, it left me feeling bitter.

There are also some printing issues here: I'm sure the dark and slightly abstract artwork lent itself better to a screen, but on paper (where artwork typically prints even darker), there were many panels that I could not make out, because the subtle details were lost in all the dark ink.

I might give the next volume a try, or maybe I'll switch to reading it on Webtoon, but overall I don't think this will be a favorite series for me.
