Persephone, Lore Olympus
At the end of season two of Rachel Smythe’s Lore Olympus webtoon, we finally got to see Kore go all God-Ender, unleashing her pestilence over Kronos who has a hold on her love Hades. Our sweet girl saves the realm and gets her man back by taking a bite of the pomegranate in a re-imagining that gives her agency and the choice to hold the power we all knew she had in her. Look, when she became a giant goddess and has a Kaiju fight with Kronos in the Underworld to claim it as her realm, I was screaming. And we’ve been rapt all season three to see if Persephone and Hades finally make it official. – Sabina Graves
