Dicks & Butts in Underworld

Our third installment of Deathcember is this hilarious depiction of the afterlife in Europe Comics’s Underworld. This reads like if Hunger Games were organized by Hades. (Although, I wouldn’t know since I had better things to do than watching anything with Jennifer Lawrence. Then again, if they had the guys strip and showed full-frontal nudity, I’d probably see it.)

(Naaah, I’d probably go somewhere else to see the clips.) (And yes, I know the movies are based on books, but I’m more of an Ursula K. Le Guin kind of reader when it comes to fantasies.)

The blurb:

Hades, God of the Underworld, is seeking a successor. The prize? His fabled horn of plenty, source of boundless wealth. But to winnow down the applicant pool, Hades has devised a series of challenges as deadly to hopefuls as they are enlightening to readers, taking us all on a tour of the soil: its uses and abuses, riches and resources. Beneath our feet lies a world teeming with life, whose fate is intimately tied with our own. In this fantasy adventure Mathieu Burniat deftly blends pop science and mythology to educate and enthrall on a topic vital to our troubled times.
