Not to say you won’t find a meaning, but also not saying you will

Drome by Jesse Lonergan

Drome by Jesse Lonergan is one of those reads where you have to read it to understand this book. And if you do read it, can you tell me what the heck (only I didn’t say heck) did I read? Okay, I get that things have something to do about the Gods and Humans and their struggle with each other. Control and strength are main factors.

I started Midas by Ryan North after finishing Pandora’s Legacy by Kara Leopard (review a few reviews before this). I was not paying attention to the Greek Myth theme that both graphic novels had (though to be honest, I should have as the titles are a large clue).
