Yes...this is an actual comic.Nico Bravo, and his friends, a Unicorn and a Sphinx, own like a mythical weapons shop. And this guy wants a weapon to slay Cerberus with.
The three don't exactly like that, so they go to save Cerberus from the guy.But.....Nico....going to the Underworld....
And Hounds of Hades is similar to House of Hades.And this kid has the same hair.
You think he was inspired by PJO Nico?
I mean...we all want Nico Di Angelo to have his own story though. XD
