Punderworld Vol. 2

Punderworld #2

by Linda Šejić

The classic Greek tale turned relatable romantic comedy continues in Volume 2!

Nothing says "opposites attract" like a Life Goddess and the King of the Dead—and after their truly Olympian meet-cute, who could blame Hades and Persephone for wanting a little time alone together? A night of exploring the Underworld brings them closer together, and it's all harmless flirting and long walks along the River Styx...until it turns out that Persephone can't leave, magically blocked from exiting the realm of the dead. It's as big a puzzle to her as it is to her antisocial new beau, but she and Hades will have to solve the mysterious imprisonment fast, because Persephone's absence has not gone unnoticed.

In the mortal world and above, Persephone's mother, Demeter, sets out on a justified rampage of maternal aggression, determined to locate her missing daughter. The gods love their drama—but if they don't tread carefully, what starts as a simple misunderstanding may lead to the world as they know it flipped upside down.

ms watermelon is not happy :D



Lil' spark a.k.a Kore a.k.a Persephone didn't sleep in her bed, it must be rebelious teen phase for sure! Surely she is at his auntie's Hestia. Right?

No sé ni cuando empecé a leer la segunda temporada de este webtoon, puede que hace años, pero hoy por fin he terminado el último episodio de esta temporada. La historia me encanta y el arte sigue siendo ✨magnífico✨. Lo que me da rabia es que tarde tanto en subir los episodios, pero no es justo restarle puntos por eso…

I just love it, the illustration is absolutely gorgeous and I am thrilled that Hestia and Hecate had a larger part in this volume, they have my whole heart~

only reason wasn't a full 5 stars was this is a lot of build up and plot set up
but overall amazing art, amazing characters, amazing designs

i really enjoy this series

I just love this comic <3
The designs of the new characters are so cool.

Was a bit slow paced this one and I hope we don't have to wait so long again for vol 3 with this cliffhager.

5 stars again 🌟


LOVELOVELOVE double triple LOVE!!!

The whole Persephone-can't-leave-the-underworld concept is genuis and oh my goodness Demeter..... I can't STAND her my gosh talk about helicopter parent.... the fact that she didn't teach Persephone to turn into her true form....🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

But nonetheless, the Hades X Persephone panels SLAPPED as always and I NEEDDDDDD MORE OF THEM PLEASEEEEEEEEE

I don’t know what it was, but this volume of Punderworld felt really slow in pacing, also plot: nothing really happened. Also, I was really freaked out by seeing Cerberus without the hind legs of a dog, instead being like the black tentacles. I think I’ll soft DNF this series for now, just because of how long it took for this volume to come out and when the author has said they aren’t focusing on their other series.

The continuation was great! I actually read the web comic instead of it in print (hope that counts as reading). The author introduced the other gods very well. I never even heard of some of them (ex. Hestia, Styx, Eos, etc). I like how each god and goddess play as a role to the story instead of just as fillers. Can’t wait for the next sequel.

It's so interesting how Linda Šejić is taking the elements of Hades and Persephone's myth and using them in this story.

The character designs are perfect, especially Hecate and Hestia. Loved their depictions here. Hecate is one of my favorite characters from mythology and I enjoy seeing the ways various authors and artist decide to take her character.

Really could do without the "tap tap tap" as people walk.

This series is so enjoyable! I love how adorably awkward Hades is, and he and Persephone are so cute together!

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like the art. Hades and Persephone are adorable, but once again Persephone as a life goddess rather than a Chthonic goddess. And Demeter as overly protective bad parent.

[Alyssa · Rating 4 out of 5]

If I have to wait another four years for the next volume, an underworld goddess is going to feel my pulses of rage too.
