iimacadam's review against another edition
2.0
More of the same from Volume 1, except what was new is no longer novel. This story is already starting to feel like "well, we created this world and these characters and conventions, now we're stuck with them so...." It's interesting to see the fresh portrayals of the gods, but some are hits and some feel try-hard. It's jarring to hear Zeus and Hades referred to as Heaven and Hell.
One thing that stood out very positively to me was the characterization of Diana. Her tone was appealing to me, though I agree with some complaints that her emotions seem a little too reserved given the circumstances she's dealing with. I particularly enjoyed her speech patterns. She's slightly formal, but not stiff. She has a tendency to take what others say to her and slightly spin it around and repeat it back, which comes across as her demonstrating careful engagement with everyone she speaks to. Overall I really liked Diana as a character, and that's why I might come back for Volume 3 at some point, though the stories and art aren't making me that eager about it.

More of the same, which was excellent. Tragedies beginning to come into play.

I like how the goddess of love is shown here. It's an interesting take on the gods.

This series is getting better and better. Winder woman is strong and smart, I only wish they'd employ at least one woman in making this book. Even an inker would be great!

Another volume full of fantastic character designs and interesting modern-day interpretations on the Greek pantheon. Like with the first volume, the art is distinctive and striking.
I'm still really enjoying Diana herself, and the balance between strength, intelligence and compassion that are staying consistent. Definitely looking forward to more.

Given my dislike for just about everything in Volume 1, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself more engaged with the story line. There are interesting side plots (like the Amazon males) that have the potential for fascinating side plot weaving. I'm still not a fan of the art, but with a better story line I found it to be more tolerable.

The gods introduced in this volume are so cool! I feel like such a kid saying that. The twists and turns are completely unexpected. I love how the last scene of the right page uses its placement strategically with the next scene on the following page. The storyline is so creative. The full spread with Strife and the god of war is my favorite from these (Parts 7-12).

Much better than the previous volume. Great flow and style. I don't know if the characters have just grown on me or if the writer's found a groove. Anyway, I'm curious about the consequences that await this greek pantheon.
