The art of this graphic novel is stunning and I love how the author weaves modern culture into mythology. I also appreciate how the author approaches tough topics.

I’ve been reading this series online and it’s definitely not for Critical Thinkers, people who care about mythology, good storytelling or romance. The romance and anything important is heavily sped through while any filler is dragged out making the pacing weird. All Lore Olympus has going for it is the art although just barely. Looking at Rachel Smythe’s other comic Wonder Woman: Black & Gold along with her other work she’s barely putting effort in Lore Olympus. 

Also I’m not going to get into the triggers much since they were all poorly handled and were only introduced for cheap drama or to make Hades look like the better man. Talk about insensitive concerning the SA.
