Athena: Grey-Eyed Goddess by George O'Connor

5.0

This is a fantastic graphic novel for kids and teens about Athena, one of my favorite Greek goddesses. George O'Connor does a nice job of picking a mix of well-known stories about Athena (such as her role in Perseus's slaying of Medusa, or the story of Arachne) and lesser-known tales. His artwork is really excellent -- the pages are full of motion and excitement, and he captures changes of mood beautifully though subtle shifts in characters' facial expressions. I was reminded strongly of P. Craig Russell, one of my favorite comic artists (and the artist behind the graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Coraline). This is thrilling stuff for all ages.
