Aug 16, 2023Disney Villains: Hades #1 expands on the character of Hades and his minions from the film, but also keeps him the same witty, wicked villain that you love to hate. The comic has good humor, adventure, and presents the tales of Greek mythology in a fun way to the reader, much like the movie and spinoff series did. Fans of the movie will enjoy this comic.
