Webcomic Profile: Hephaestus

Description

(a retelling of Greek mythology, with more than likely deviation from the original myths)

While other gods on Mt. Olympus are known to be beautiful and laid back, Hephaestus is more humble in appearance and works his hands to the bone. However, that is not to say that the god of crafting and fire doesn't have any interesting tales about himself...

<<Current Chapter>>
6) Origins: Part 3:
Our tale of tragedy comes full circle as we learn of the final fate of young Hephaestus, leading to a fateful encounter between him years later with a certain Queen of the Nereids...

4) Origins Part 2

5) Hermes' First Flight
Hermes, the last of the Olympian twelve to join, starts his tale as a meek child with weak ankles, unable to live up to the "God of Messengers" name we know him for. It would take the guidance of a certain smith god to change all that soon enough...

It may be a while before I can work on another Hephaestus story, as I am just about to graduate college and I need some time to settle down first.
However, I did work on something for the possible last submission to the NYU Comic Book League publication.
In terms of canon, this is only semi-canonical in the Hephaestus universe.

@king_13 (Mother's Day 2013): I personally think that a lot of them think of mortals and lesser gods as just ants compared to them, so just like no one feels bad when you step on a bug so too do they not care for anything that gets in their way

I wonder where Hera is dragging Hephaestus to.

I like how the flower in Hera's hand is wilted, like her heart.

@Ink_wolf: A wizard did it.

Happy Mother's Day 2013
Happy Mother's Day from us at Hephaestus!

I couldn't decide which one to use for a title card for Mother's Day so I decided to give you guys both. After all, Hephaestus has two mothers, right?
