Editorial Review
From School Library Journal Gr 4–8—Riordan's ever-popular mythology series that resonates so strongly with reluctant readers and those who yearn for action-packed adventure now have the option to follow the story in graphic novel format. If the traditional narrative version of The Lost Hero (Disney-Hyperion, 2010) hit the ground running, it is nothing compared to what awaits readers in a sequential art format. It takes fewer than 10 pages for the story to start with a [quite literal] bang, and it relents very infrequently thereafter. Powell does an excellent job of adapting the original story into pictorial format, hitting all of the high points and representing all of the major details in the drawings, so little is lost. For those unfamiliar with Riordan's storytelling, they will receive a healthy introduction to his easy-to-follow story lines that teach with great accuracy the mythologies that students will undoubtedly learn in the classroom but with such fun and ease that it will hardly feel like school. Readers who are new to reading comic books will be no less entertained; there are a few pages here and there that may make following the panels in order a touch challenging, but they will catch on quickly. It goes without saying that this book will fly off the shelves; Riordan, of course, has a ready-made audience, but he always does a good job of welcoming new readers, so this one is a must for both school and public libraries.—Trina Bolfing, Westbank Libraries, Austin, TX --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. 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."―Publishers Weekly PRAISE FOR THE TITAN'S CURSE, THE GRAPHIC NOVEL "No fan will be able to turn this down."―Booklist PRAISE FOR THE SEA OF MONSTERS, THE GRAPHIC NOVEL "Both high in quality and sure to be popular, this is a first purchase."―SLJ 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."
