Our Review

This graphic novel adaptation brings Rick Riordan's modern classic about Greek gods in contemporary America to vibrant visual life, perfectly timed for the Disney+ series release. The story follows a young demigod discovering his divine heritage while embarking on a dangerous quest across modern America. Four acclaimed comic industry artists collaborate to transform the beloved middle-grade adventure into a dynamic visual experience that captures both the mythological grandeur and contemporary humor of the original novel. Their artwork vividly portrays everything from Manhattan's hidden mythological landmarks to terrifying encounters with ancient monsters.

The graphic format makes this epic adventure more accessible to younger readers and visual learners who might find the original novel's length daunting. Children who enjoy action-packed storytelling with mythological elements will be drawn to the cinematic panels that bring Percy's journey to life. The refreshed edition with its new cover provides the perfect gateway into Riordan's world of modern mythology for both new readers and longtime fans. This visual retelling captures the heart and humor of the original while creating an entirely new way to experience this beloved hero's journey.
