Punderworld, Volume 1

Linda Sejic — 2021
Hades and Persephone's love-struck misadventures. The classic tale of Greek mythology, but 100% 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 misassumptions threaten to give every god in the sky the wrong impression... and leave their romance dead before it can bloom.

Loved this modern take on the Persephone and Hades story. It's a great adaptation that makes it feel modern. I love Persephone's additional agency, in dealing with her mother and Hades. Gothy Hades being a mousy bureaucrat. I like how all the gods have their unique staves, Hades with his bident (apparently it's associated with him), Demeter with her pitchfork that changes into a broom, etc. The art is gorgeous and so colorful All the characters really pop with personality. Persephone expressing her emotions with the plants around her, everyone talking about Artemis being chaste and virginal and Hades looking over and seeing her with women hanging all over her, and Charon with their secret. So many good moments

Adorable! Love it! It's nice to see Persephone as a more sassy character.

ARC given by Edelweiss+ for Honest Review Super cute story, beautifully illustrated, and really fun to read. Hades is delightful and Zeus is a rat bastard as per usual. The character design is GORGEOUS. Though Persephone's outfit seems really plain compared to everyone else. Maybe for a reason? I'm definitely excited to read more in the series! (Also I love that Demeter sprouts hot peppers when she is angry.)

Completely different tone from Lore Olympus and I’m here for it. Fun, sweet, goofy, and, most importantly, HADES. I love this series and can’t wait for volume two. I highly recommend this and Blood Stain, and Linda’s Patreon.
