Olympus Overdrive is a relatively new multimedia webcomic, which features interactive flash and animated updates as well as traditional comic art.

It's also excellently illustrated, and frankly hilarious, and features Zeus as one of the crowning examples of King of All Cosmos.

It's barely started out, but it looks pretty promising! I'm excited to see what the first task of theirs is going to be. Max and Hades are great!

Also, I'm with you on Zeus' King of the Cosmos aesthetic.

This is easily a great substitute for Homestuck when you just don't have the time or energy to archive binge. I think I'm going to like this comic...

Checked it out thanks to an ad at mspaintadventures. Didn't regret one minute of it :D Promising, hilarious, very well drawn... Hades is great (gotta love that remark about "you don't have to worry about money with me" snippet- research well done!), so is Eris, and Zeus. Oh my GODS, ZEUS. He's trying and failing so hard it's hilarious. xd

Yeah, I really digged this webcomic when I first read it.

And Zeus will never stop being amusing. He's like an older father who's completely out of touch with the youth of today, but wants desperately to be seen as "hip" and cool.

[up][up] It needs to be a "webcomic," rather than "webcomics" page, in order to index properly. I've moved it and added it to the Fantasy Webcomics index. I'll probably add to the page itself tomorrow.

I thought that was Eris herself. Her weapon just appears to be eyeballs?

Eris' mortal is nuts and Eris herself is completely insane. But that's to be expected.

So Bobby is a (Unskilled) Gamer Chick. This'll make her deity's special somewhat interesting.

Wonder what her god's gonna be. Poseidon?

When she showed up in the classroom, the single-tone coloration led to some perspective confusion and I thought she was flying above a city. I thought it was a fakeout where she'd already made contact with a god and had supernatural powers and we had just been allowed to assume she hadn't yet.

[up][up]I'm guessing it's either going to be him or Aphrodite. Bobby has pink hair and Aphrodite had pink text earlier on, and Aphrodite is also associated with the sea. Not as much as Poseidon, of course, but one explanation for how she was born was from sea foam, and a famous picture of her Roman counterpart Venus shows Venus being born from a sea shell (which Bobby has on her shirt).

Could be either way, but Poseidon might be a safer guess, since that would give us our complete Big Three of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.

So I just started this.

...not much to say, except the animated updates are kind of distracting from the story. Sort of reminds me of Fate / Stay Night.

Called it!

I can say for certainty Zeus and Poseidon look awesome gender swapped. It is a complete and objective improvement.

Only thing we need now is Aphrodite and Hera as men.
