Book of Desolation
This is not actually a comic but more of a sourcebook. I've always loved source books, ever since I got the starwars sourcebook way back before the prequals. It's great to see worlds get expanded outside of the original movie, comic, book , whatever. This one ...

Last time I started talking about religion as a great umbrella term for a lot of facets of worldbuilding you can take into consideration when constructing the world of your story, be it webcomic, novel, series, or anything else.

So I want to talk about the Dread Persephone!

It's all fine and exciting when using lore and myth to create new stories. Especially when it comes to modern genres like urban fantasy, it can yield pretty alluring and impressive results! From ancient Greek mythology to all kinds of Asian myths and legends, to Norse mythology and Egyptian ...
