The first of the three makes me think of the Nikopol Trilogy - a comic series by Enki Bilal, in which Horus, the Egyptian deity seeks intercourse with a pale, blue haired woman in a future world. There's a weird ass movie too, called Immortel Ad Vitam somewhat following the comics. Not the greatest movie, but I love all comics by Bilal. His drawings are works of art more often than not:

Ooh I'm definitely going to have to read that then; I feel like I've seen his drawings floating around online before, and I've loved all of them (I just never knew what they were from exactly). And I'm always looking for more mythology-related stuff to read.
