Aphrodite

Goddess of Love

The early pages of this book are the best. When recounting Aphrodite's origin, O'Connor once again does a superior job at synthesizing the various accounts. He neatly fits her into his own version of the Greek mythos. The rest of the book features more foreshadowing than action, and frequent scenes of gods standing around talking. O'Connor's delicate inking and some of his panel compositions are reminiscent of the work of onetime Wonder Woman artist George Perez and longtime comics inker Terry Austin. He rightly emphasizes the prominent role that beauty plays in Aphrodite's story.
