The Lightning Thief Graphic Novel Series 5Th Anniversary

Now submerge yourself in the thrilling, stunning, and action-packed graphic novel.

Mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking out of the pages of twelve-year-old Percy Jacksons textbooks and into his life.

Zeuss master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.

Now, he and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeuss stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus.

Series creator Rick Riordan joins forces with some of the biggest names in the comic book industry to tell the story of a boy who must unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

Venditti (The Surrogates) takes the story of the half-blood Percywho discovers that he is both the son of a god and the prime suspect in a theft of cosmic implicationsand forges an adaptation that does justice not simply to Riordans story but works perfectly as a graphic novel.

The book retains the excellent pacing of the original and gives a face to Riordans vision of the mythological made modern.

Futakis artwork is exemplary, but what leaves such a lasting impression is Villarrubias coloring, which reveals both subtlety and spectacle when needed.

The graphic novel compression must, of necessity, sacrifice something, namely some of the humor of the original.
