Diverse Lore Olympus: Volume Four, Belletristik von Rachel Smythe

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Witness what the gods do after dark in the fourth volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes content from creator Rachel Smythe. A SHE READS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “I don’t always get to do as I please.” The rumor mill of Olympus is constantly churning, but Persephone and Hades are all anyone can talk about. With the constant gossip creating intense pressure on the pair, they decide to slow down their budding romance and focus on sorting out their own issues first. But that’s easier said than done. Hades struggles to find support in his personal life, with Zeus trivializing his feelings and Minthe resorting to abusive patterns in their relationship. And while Hades tries to create healthier boundaries where he can—like finally putting a stop to his sporadic, revenge-fueled hookups with Hera—he still feels lonely and adrift. Persephone feels equally ostracized as her classmates shun her for her connection to Hades, and she can find no refuge at home, with Apollo constantly dropping by unannounced and pushing his unwelcome advances. And on top of it all, the wrathful god of war, Ares, has returned to Olympus to dredge up his sordid history with the goddess of spring, threatening to surface Persephone’s dark and mysterious past and ruin her tenuous position in the land of the gods. Despite agreeing to take it slow, Persephone and Hades find themselves inextricably drawn toward each other once more amid the chaos. The pull of fate cannot be denied. This edition of Rachel Smythe’s original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus features exclusive behind-the-scenes content and brings the Greek pantheon into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. This volume collects episodes 76–102 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.

Erleben Sie, was die Götter nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit tun, im vierten Band einer stilvollen und zeitgenössischen Neuinterpretation einer der bekanntesten Geschichten der griechischen Mythologie, mit einer brandneuen, exklusiven Kurzgeschichte von der Schöpferin Rachel Smythe. "Ich kann nicht immer tun, was ich will." Die Gerüchteküche des Olymp brodelt ständig, aber Persephone und Hades sind das Hauptthema aller Gespräche. Der ständige Klatsch erzeugt enormen Druck auf das Paar, sodass sie beschliessen, ihre aufkeimende Romanze zu verlangsamen und sich zunächst auf ihre eigenen Probleme zu konzentrieren. Doch das ist leichter gesagt als getan. Hades hat Schwierigkeiten, Unterstützung in seinem Privatleben zu finden, da Zeus seine Gefühle bagatellisiert und Minthe in ihrer Beziehung zu missbräuchlichen Mustern greift. Während Hades versucht, gesündere Grenzen zu setzen – wie endlich seine sporadischen, von Rache getriebenen Affären mit Hera zu beenden – fühlt er sich dennoch einsam und verloren. Persephone fühlt sich ebenso ausgegrenzt, da ihre Klassenkameraden sie wegen ihrer Verbindung zu Hades meiden, und sie findet keinen Zufluchtsort zu Hause, da Apollo ständig unangekündigt vorbeikommt und seine unerwünschten Avancen macht. Und obendrein ist der zornige Kriegsgott Ares zurückgekehrt nach Olympus, um seine schmutzige Geschichte mit der Frühlingsgöttin ans Licht zu bringen, was droht, Persephones dunkle und geheimnisvolle Vergangenheit ans Licht zu bringen und ihre wackelige Position im Land der Götter zu ruinieren. Trotz der Vereinbarung, es langsam angehen zu lassen, fühlen sich Persephone und Hades erneut untrennbar zueinander hingezogen, mitten im Chaos. Der Zug des Schicksals ist nicht zu leugnen. Diese Ausgabe von Rachel Smythes originalem, mit dem Eisner Award ausgezeichneten Webcomic Lore Olympus enthält exklusive Einblicke hinter die Kulissen und bringt den griechischen Pantheon ins moderne Zeitalter in einem scharfsinnigen und romantischen Graphic Novel. Dieser Band sammelt die Episoden 76-102 des Nummer-eins WEBTOON-Comics Lore Olympus.
