PRAISE FOR THE LIGHTNING THIEF, THE GRAPHIC NOVEL"Venditti takes the story of the half-blood Percy...and forges an adaptation that does justice not simply to Riordan's story but works perfectly as a graphic novel. The book retains the excellent pacing of the original and gives a face to Riordan's vision of the mythological made modern."―<EM>Publishers Weekly </EM>(starred review)PRAISE FOR THE LOST HERO"Riordan's storytelling is as polished as ever, brimming with wit, action, and heart―his devotees won't be disappointed."―<EM>Publishers Weekly</EM>PRAISE FOR THE MARK OF ATHENA"With a true storyteller’s sense of pacing, Riordan creates another compelling adventure, right down to the cliff-hanger at the end."―<EM>Booklist Online</EM>PRAISE FOR THE SEA OF MONSTERS, THE GRAPHIC NOVEL"Both high in quality and sure to be popular, this is a first purchase."―<EM>SLJ</EM>PRAISE FOR THE SON OF NEPTUNE"Son of Neptune is yet another absorbing and exciting addition to Riordan’s chronicles."―<EM>VOYA</EM>PRAISE FOR THE TITAN'S CURSE, THE GRAPHIC NOVEL"No fan will be able to turn this down."―Booklist

Title: ThisartistisawfulJustno
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021
Review: I freaking HATE the art. What is this? I’ll forgive the story skipping over important parts because it’s a graphic novel and they have to cut things to make it work. But I don’t understand why they skipped Midas to camp in a cave. Just...why?? Lityerses is introduced when they meet Midas and he makes a reappearance later on, so it felt weird to me they’d skip that. Anyway, the story is alright. The absolutely terrible art kills it for me though. The characters are all so badly done, like the artist was super drunk or something while drawing them. A lot of times their eyes don’t even match. I hate it. So much. I was cringing while reading this book because the art is just so freaking bad... I actually didn’t read the last few pages at all because the art is just garbage. The angles are generic, the expressions looked like they were pulled from cleaning product commercials, and for some reason Chiron is brown despite being described as a white stallion multiple times. Altogether this graphic novel looks like it was made by someone that has never so much as picked up a comic book.Edit: I added a star because the nightmares of Leo’s screaming face chasing me subsided last week and I felt I may have been hasty in my judgement of an otherwise mediocre graphic novel. This art style would be well suited for horror stories, though.

Review: i loved the first book so much because of the feeling of how i could sympathize with the character it made me imagine what every scene looked like leo cleaning the dragon jason piper and leo having burgers in the sewers together i loved it all so when a comic came out i bought it and i did expect to have some finite details left out like the french part of the ice castle but when i read the book i was straight disappointed it left out so many details that made the book have the funny charming part of it cut out like leo sneaking arond the Cyclops garage prepareing to fight but it just goes straight to combat you dont even know how he got the claw it just goess right to leo killing them and then the polt just continues like nothing happened like come on dude this had so much potential but i just felt so dry so little bulid up once the final scene happens you barely have a clue what happened had a huge chance but it turned sour.

Title: Greatcomic
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2015
Review: Two things, playing off each other, make a comic great: a script that lives up to the art, and art that lives up to the script. It's distressingly easy to find each living down to the other. In this case, though, Riordan's story has proven, widespread appeal. But, more importantly for me, it has Powell's artwork. In

Review: The graphic novels take on added value in this time of COVID-19. I've been reading the Percy Jackson books to my grandsons over the internet-based conferencing apps with screen sharing. We look forward the the rest of this follow-up series being made available in graphic form.The graphic novels cannot quite capture the entirety of the novel versions of these stories, but they do a fine job for younger independent readers and soon-to-be readers.

Review: Really a different approach to the Heroes of Olympus but I enjoyed seeing the characters and monsters come a live in colored comic book form. I could follow the story and helped bring back certain memories while reading the last book of this series. I'm still waiting for the last two books of the first series so hurry up.Thank you you will enjoy seeing your heroes come to life.

Review: I really enjoyed this book, but it left a few major details out. I also would’ve had it a little longer.
