A review by maida
The Lightning Thief: The Graphic Novel by Robert Venditti, Rick Riordan
3.0
Though I’m glad to have another visual representation of Percy Jackson that isn’t the god awful movie, this was far from what I wanted.
I understand that a lot of things get lost in adaptation, but it was sad to see a lot of the key elements that make the story its own thing, like the comedy and sarcasm, get taken away by the simplified format. Also wasn’t a fan of the art style, which probably trumped my enjoyment as well.
It wasn’t bad, but if you’ve never read Percy Jackson, I wouldn’t recommend this to be your first introduction to this story.
