Anti-hero superhero? Yes please. Boyfriends fighting heaven and hell - literally - to be together? HELL YES!
Loved this! I only know the vaguest backstory for Midnighter (mostly through cameos in other titles), but this definitely made me want to read his solo works.

lgbt+ rep: gay mc, main m/m romance
I love these two murderous boys so freaking much! This is more or less a continuation of the Midnighter series (which I also really loved) but with some major midpollo feels, and god it was amazing.

This is the first introduction to Midnighter and Apollo's characters, and now I want to read every comic they're featured in.
Midnighter and Apollo's relationship is so awesome!
This graphic novel follows Midnighter going to hell after Apollo's soul is stolen. A load of badassness ensues.

3.5 stars. Story was pretty good but the art really bothered me sometimes... The proportions of the arms in many of the panels, argh! (I was then sucked into a half hour long Google search for “how long are arms supposed to be?” - Maybe the arms are perfectly well proportioned? And it's just me? Are my own arms just too abnormally long? Am I judgemental about short arms? #existentialcrisis)

The story follows the greatest couple in DC (go away, Lois and Clark), Midnighter And Apollo after they’ve finally reunited after a long period apart. But, that reunion is short-lived as Apollo is killed in a scheme orchestrated by the ghastly and crazy sumbitch scientist, Henry Bendix (Wiki him), with his soul being damned to hell.
But ain’t nobody gone mess with Midnighter’s man, because instead of just moving on and getting a clone after a 15 minute period of being just inconsolable, Midnighter decides to go to hell and rescue his lover’s soul… And here my girl won’t even pick me up a 6 pack of juice boxes.
t’s clear that writer Steve Orlando had fun writing this series, as the interactions between characters and the impressive action scenes flow very naturally and, nothing feels like it’s been written to merely get to the next, bigger point – I mean, Midnighter and Apollo do the dishes at one point and even that’s interesting. Basically, Orlando has masterfully woven soul into these characters to bring them to life in a magnificent way; Orlando has turned them into a nuanced superhero couple truly trying to make it work in a world where it really shouldn’t.
And for those who aren’t into that sappy crap, the actions scenes are equally great, with the first few pages of issue one featuring Midnighter jumping through a moving train, fighting some bad guys in each cart and sending their leader through the back exit in one fluid sequence, as well as Apollo taking on a kaiju god-thing made out of train carts. And that just issues one.
Midnighter and Apollo. Read it. A fantastic story with equally fantastic art, there’s no reason for you not to give this limited series a go. Do it.

Not particularly interesting or inventive. It is nice to see Midnighter and Apollo together and unaccompanied by the rest of The Authority for once. The pugilistic, bloody retelling of the Orpheus tale is a nice twist, but again not really new.
