Persephone: Hades' Torment is the third title to be published as part of Seven Seas Entertainment's partnership with Hiveworks, and it's my favourite comic they've released so far.

Cheat(er) Code Review

Always Human Review

I’ve been becoming more and more obsessed with Webtoon comics lately, so it’s exciting to see a comic that originated on that platform getting a print release. Hopefully this becomes a trend, as I have a number of favourites which I’d love to be able to own a physical copy of! Written and illustrated by...
