Even though I’m the worst about keeping up with webcomics, and I’m very glad Lore Olympus now exists on paper, I think it might ultimately have been more successful as a webcomic. The pacing and POV jumps feel different in book format. Plus the printing process made some of the art harder to see/interpret than I’m guessing it was online. That said, I enjoyed the art and the unique character concepts, and transforming the Greek pantheon into the plot of a messy royal-family reality show is working well for me.
