This collection of the six issue mini series by Mark London and Francesco Archidiacono will be released on October 31, 2023. Mad Cave Studios provided an early galley for review.
I have always had an attraction to the Greek gods, and the amazing cover for this one immediately grabbed my attention. I was very interested to see the take these creators had for them.
The story hits hard, right out of the gate. The first few pages show the might of the gods as they subjugate humanity. When Artemis is summoned back to the fold, we further see their ruthless side.. But Artemis is not without her own resourcefulness and allies. She's a fighter, and fight back she does.
I like how we get more of the story of how Artemis came to embrace humanity through various flashbacks. It grounds the story, and it also helps the reader understand what Artemis is fighting for.
The artwork is strong throughout, carrying the story both in the moments of high-energy action and the tender personal ones. The coloring conveys the moods of each scene. It all works to bring the story to life and to a satisfying (for now?) conclusion.

A surprisingly enjoyable, lowish-brow action graphic novel. Zeus and his kind have seen our situation as a threat, or something that needs a lesson, and so have re-established themselves as the rulers of the earth – and immediately taken away the Internet, boo hiss. Now humans are supposed to respect – ie fear – the Greek pantheon, and their shiny gold avatars – although one of them has fallen in love with the now-pacifist retired hunter, Artemis, and she in love with him in return. Punished for that, of course, by ten years out of the loop, she finally awakens to find she is not alone, but that the task of removing Zeus from his throne will literally involve ungodly efforts…
OK, the action poses and fighting scenes could be drawn better, but I was surprised by this. I feared it would be one of those pompous, wordy evocations of endless lore and combat, but no, this felt a lot brisker and much more easily entertaining as a result. I say it's lowish-brow, then, as a compliment more than anything, fearing the uber-researched snore-fest it might easily have been. (Heck, the creators seem to have done so little reading up they don't realise Aphrodite was supposed to be beautiful…)
OK, it does kind of suffer when Hephaestus turns up and looks like Asterix wants a character back, but you have to bear in mind that when it gets contrived with the indestructible people and the bringing-them-back-from-the-dead that that's only in perfect keeping with the Greek originals. The attritional levels of combat later on are no match for the opening, sparky interest, but that's a given with comix anyway. All told, four stars may be just too generous and too much an indication of how bad it could have ended up as opposed to how good it actually was, but I certainly think this better than average.

Thank you NetGalley and Mad Cave Studios for providing me with an arc of this comic in exchange for my honest review.
This is an extremely violent and gory comic with little to no story and no likable characters (at all). Just a honest heads up for readers who expect anything different or more from this.
This really let me down. Nothing remotely interesting or original ever happens, the gods are all the biggest narcissistic a holes you can imagine and Artemis isn’t much better. All the characters are flat and most of them are drawn in a pretty sexist way. Artemis may have less of a superiority complex but she doesn’t care about humans at all. Only about her husband and child and she just wants revenge for what her God family did to them.
That’s it. Revenge, violence, gore and I already forgot about the story that wasn’t much of a story to begin with.
I was expecting so much more from this. The other reviews I read are misleading and I’m just very disappointed.

Hunt. Kill. Repeat. Vol 1
Written by Mark London
Art by Francesco Archidiacono
Book 225/200
Genre: Fantasy
Format: Digital, Graphic Novel, ARC
Pages: 192
Published: 2023
Rating: 8/10
Art: 8/10
Styled as Kill Bill meets Clash of the Titans, Hunt. Kill. Repeat. is an action-packed, thrill ride of a book. HKR follows Artemis, goddess of the hunt, taking down the Olympian gods for vengeance.
My biggest complaint with this volume is that it feels too rushed. I think this series could greatly have benefited to draw the 6-issues to 10 or even 12. Despite that, this book is straight up fun, with solid art throughout. I had a good time reading it and it kept me captivated throughout! Well done!

A fierce and visually stunning blend of mythology and sci-fi, 'Hunt. Kill. Repeat.' reimagines a world where the Greek gods rule humanity, until one mortal dares to fight back. Mark London crafts a revenge story that feels equal parts 'God of War' and 'Blade Runner', balancing divine spectacle with personal tragedy. Francesca Cittarelli’s art explodes off the page; every panel pulsing with motion, color, and rage. The result is a story that’s as much about rebellion as it is about identity and consequence. If you enjoyed the mythic grit of Wonder Woman: Dead Earth or the philosophical weight of Seven to Eternity, this belongs on your shelf.

I really liked the book. I was so surprised by the story and the characters.
Having Athena as the main character was fantastic, she is so sweet, but when the thirst for revenge consumes her she becomes unbeatable.
I think the personifications of the Gods were really on point.
The drawings are super beautiful and expressive, and relate well to the story.
I really want to read the sequel.
A huge thanks to the

The Greek gods return taking over the Earth and ruling through fear. Artemis has found love and secretly pregnant. But Zeus will have none of it when he finds out. Ten years later Artemis returns out for revenge and starts taking out the other Gods. The ending is abrupt. It's clear this was meant to go on longer and was reduced to 6 issues. The art is solid.

Such a great comic! Kill Bill... and Artemis, without her powers, is Bill. She is awesome. I really like the story and I would love to read the following volumes.

Revenge story with a mythological twist
Bought this along other digital book in a bundle of Mad Cave Studios comic collected editions, since I enjoyed their Dick Tracy and Gatchaman comics. This book has good art and composition, and takes the archetypes of the geek gods to tell a revenge story almost pulled form Tarantino's Kill Bill. It has solid action, some decadent god and their hideous manners, but Artemis doesn't feel like a heroine, just as The Bride in Tarantino's romp, somewhat of a force of nature. And since she is no hero, the end seems kind of fitting.
The title say it all. A series of action scenes in a revenge story, not a heroic story.

"Hunt. Kill. Repeat. " is a grindhouse take on the Olympic pantheon, that has a few deeper moments but mostly focuses on violence and revenge. Set in the near future, the book portrays a radically altered world in which the gods of Greek mythology, led by Zeus, have returned to earth to enslave and re-form the human race.
The gods in this book are violent, callous and indifferent to the plight of individual mortals. When Artemis, mistress of the hunt falls for a mortal Zeus destroys him, thus setting the stage for her to seek violent revenge on the entire pantheon. As the plot plays out the the significance of the title will become obvious to even the densest of readers.
The relative lack of nuance in this book, as Artemis slaughters one god after another detracts significantly from the book's greater potential. Thus, the very competently done world building, touching romantic flashbacks and strong character development is overshadowed by the high body count. Additionally, the abrupt ending comes just as the book seems to be moving into deeper territory. All in all, though, this an entertaining, well written book with strong and memorable artwork. Readers who can handle the bloodshed and enjoy revisions of classical mythology should find something of interest here.

I always say there’s just not enough mythology for me to get my fill as an enthusiast of all mythology especially Greek. When I came across the cover I was intrigued, and then reading description to find out it’s based on Greek Mythology? I was sold and so excited to be approved for an early reading by Mad Cave Studios through Net Galley.
Artemis is one of my favorite Greek Goddesses, so to see a story unfold about her in a world where tech is banned as Zeus has deemed it unworthy and a distraction from worshipping the gods… Well I was instantly hooked from page one. I read the whole book in one sitting and felt like I was watching a movie rather than reading a graphic novel.
It’s a really interesting storyline, with amazing drawings, and will keep us mythology geeks satisfied reading this series. I can’t wait to read the next five issues to see where the story goes.

I LOVED this different take on the Greek Gods.
