Persephone: Hades' Torment is a graphic novel retelling of the Hades and Persephone story. I bought my copy new.
Review:
Apollo is trying to convince Eros to shoot Persephone with one of his arrows for him, but Hades accidentally ends up shot instead and falls for Persephone. Hades tries to find his way out of the inevitable, thinking that he and Persephone wouldn't work well together, but then he and Persephone end up meeting.
This was one of those times where I was drawn in by the cover art and ended up regretting it. There really wasn't much content here. Also, this was simultaneously both horny and weirdly chaste. There are two on-page sex scenes, but not much is actually shown (breasts, a flash of nipples). One of them is unexpectedly a threesome, though, which threw me a bit. Like, there wasn't much lead up, no prior introduction of this character, it just happened.
There were parts of the Eros and Psyche, Daphne and Apollo, and other stories - basic Greek mythology stuff. Hades spent approximately two seconds pining. I liked those two seconds, but then I got the rest of this. Meh.
