In Part 2 of our look at Hades and Persephone retellings we tackle two popular modern takes on the tale. The first is the webcomic turned graphic novel Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe, a favorite of both your Casing the Cover hosts. The second is A Touch of Darkness, a sexy retelling by Scarlett St. Clair, and we have some feelings. Fair warning folks, this is a rant episode.
