Tras años de espera, al fin lo leí.

No sé realmente si mi opinión se basa en todas las memorias que tengo con mis libros de Percy Jackson o en alguna razón más, pero bueno, ¿qué puedo decir? Maduré con ellos, y siempre les estaré agradecido por acompañarme en el viaje.

Gracias por tanto, Rick Riordan.

I already love the Percy Jackson series so much. It's on the young side of Young Adult, to be sure. But it is just so damn fun I can't help but love it.

Sea of Monsters was a more accurate representation of the second book. The first one left out some fairly key scenes and characters. This one was spot on, if my memory serves me correctly... which it probably doesn't but whatever.

I loved it. That's what matters.

I am not wowed by the artwork by any means but it isn't the worst I have ever seen either. The characters are all drawn the way they are described and the monsters are all pretty damn monstrous.

I think what I am enjoying most about the graphic novel version of this series is that they focus on the darker elements of the series. I know I said that in my review for the first one, but its important. I think a lot of people don't like that about this series but for me? It's what I like the most.

I like the Dark Side.

You're totally shocked right?

Anyway, if you like comics and you enjoyed the Percy Jackson books pick these up. They're super quick and fun and entertaining.

Come to the dark side.

Me encanta esta novela gráfica porque puedo recordar la historia de Percy de una forma rápida y divertido.
Me gustó mucho ver el pequeño crecimiento en la imagen de Annabeth y de Percy.
Mi imagen favorita? Thalia sin lugar a dudas
Espero tener pronto la novela gráfica del tercer libro.

While I liked the first graphic novel, I enjoyed this one more. It did skip over some parts however, the flow of the story was a lot smoother. I loved that there were little details in the illustrations that added more of the story. These have been so fun to read and I can't wait to continue!

Even though I have read this series before, after reading and absolutely loving the first book in graphic novel form, I knew I needed to read them all over again in the same way.

It is amazing how much I had forgotten that the graphic novels helped me to remember. Most of all though, I am so happy that the sarcastic humor of Percy and his friends, still holds strong in these. It is one thing I truly did not forget about loving when it came to this series and it's spin off.

Once again the pages were filled not only with Riordan's amazing wit and writing but beautifully done illustrations that were hard to tear my eyes from. I love the artist's rendition of all the characters, in both physical appearance and being able to capture their personality in said appearance unto the pages.

Wonderfully done!

This was another great one!

Percy needs to deal with Tantalus a new director at his camp and well a new quest awaits to retrieve the golden fleece to prevent the thalia tree from dying and a chariot race and then a quest and then fighting Scylla and Charbydis and the myth that they bring and travelling with Annabeth and Tyson (his cyclops brother) and encountering even Hermes and going against Luke and maybe saving a friend from a giant?

Its an epic volume with so much twists and turns and sometimes feels uneven not adapting the full book but regardless manages to give an action story with Percy trying to save his friends and complete a quest and I kinda like the inclusion of Clarisse in this story though it could have used a little more battle with Luke and not rushed to an ending though the twist was nice in the end. Its still a solid read and makes for a great cliffhanger as we head towards future books in the series!

4 1/2 Stars!

I very much enjoyed this graphic novel. The artwork was absolutely fantastic. In fact, almost all of the panels of the novel could’ve been made into posters — it was that good.

In a typical Percy Jackson fashion, he comes to save the day.

Is a very good book that I highly enjoyed .

Đọc dĩ nhiên là không đã bằng bản truyện chữ rồi, vì graphic novel thì chỉ thể hiện được những diễn biến chính của câu chuyện thôi. Cơ mà vì cốt truyện của bác Rick Riordan quá lôi cuốn luôn rồi ấy, vốn dĩ đã hay lắm rồi ấy, nên mình vẫn cực kỳ thích bản graphic novel này. Hình vẽ nhìn cũng toát lên được thần thái thực sự của các nhân vật, theo như miêu tả của bác Rick trong bản truyện chữ. Mình đọc hết cuốn này chỉ trong vòng một buổi chiều :))) Dạo này ghiền tìm hiểu thần thoại Hy Lạp và các tác phẩm liên quan đến thần thoại Hy Lạp quá :D Chả lẽ mở lại 2 bộ phim "Percy Jackson" rồi nằm coi ta ^^ Thích quá đi mất!!!! :D

Still feels weirdly choppy and kind of fast, but...is it just me or did the art get a lot better? It's brighter, more colorful, and everything just feels more lively. I still wouldn't recommend this as anyone's first read-through of PJO but it's a nice addition for anyone who already loves the source material.

The illustrators did such a great job! This graphic novel is my favorite of the series. I had so much fun reading this. I flew through it so quickly. After reading this, I think I'll be picking up graphic novels more often.

Ich mag Percy Jackson ja sehr, aber als Roman macht er für mich einfach mehr her. Den Comic mochte ich, aber es lässt mich nicht so begeistert zurück wie die Romane. Die Comics sind was Nettes für zwischendurch, zB für die Mittagspause.

Another quick read. Art style still has characters looking far older than they should be, but it's pretty cool seeing the story in a graphic novel format.

Het artwork in deze vind ik ook weer helemaal geweldig! Het verhaal spreekt me wat minder aan, maar het is dan weer leuker omdat ik op deze manier buddyread met Rowie terwijl zij het 'gewone' boek leest :) Maar ik mis de klik met dit verhaal een beetje.

this is an okay book but a waste of time if you ask me their was some moments that I did not see when I watched the movie. but their is not the felling of what is this what is that from the first one. it seems like a repeat of the first book but with more things. it not like the harry potter sires were their all was something new and mysterious. that is all I have to say without spoilers because no one spoilers.

More of a supplement to the series. It would be easier to understand after reading the book. Still interesting to see how it would pan out artistically.

I thought this book was good. It was easy to read through, like most graphic novels. It had nice moments of action, where there was fighting, and I like the twists and turns the plots had as I read further in the book. If you like action science fiction type books, this would be a good graphic novel for you.

Grade: A+ Star: 4.85/5

This Become Modern Legend Continue of the Young Hero back to Life!

Robert Venditti’s Adapting Writing And Attila Futaki’s Artwork Return From the previous first adaptation and Made a Sequel with a glorious draw better than a first. A Novel was short but better to see with readers’s image was very satisfying to read. Not to mention a Movie, which is Very Damn Shame. This is actually quite improvement of the art and color that this is close much alike from the book.

The Movie of the Same Name my put the Familiar Plot But Not the Same Plot And Some were omitted and some were not supposed to be. The Cast of the Characters were too old as young adult rather than pre-teen kids, and the movie itself was very derivative.

Anyway, Every Pages is absolutely extraordinary much Like the Blockbuster.

Here is my opinion of this, it was excellent.
-Much Like the first, The Main Plot was Same of the literary work loosely based on Odyssey that did very well, although, the humor of Percy Jackson quite doesn’t fit in GN scenes, rushed on the plot, and some scenes were missing like Annabeth, Percy, And Tyron reach the safe house in Miami, Battle with the Hydra, Circe supposed to wear a white dress, and The Second Chariot Race Scene but it’s fine and sometimes, not fine.

-Attila Futaki’s Artwork did done better than a previous one and it was absolutely amazing with many details of Characters’s emotion and expression, Monsters are terrifying and stunning good and ugly, and setting ar excellent. Although, there are little blurred and unfinished on the background, but still looks good on comic book style. It’s Really Amazing.

-Tomas Gaspar’s Color are absolutely well done and much better than Jose Villarrubia’s Dull Color. This is different as polish on Futaki’s Artwork. Every Action Sequences On Greek Myths & Legends bought back to Life quite Outstanding

-Every Characters isn’t exactly what fans picture, but very close much alike. Artist quite did well to his vision of protagonist, demigods, semi-Humans, Gods, And monsters in the 2nd installment. They may not be official fanarts, but they’re official well appearance and very accurate.

-Layouts of Illustrations really explores what we focus on and its beautiful and fantastic despite the rush plot and Should deserve a Comic Book Version of Academy Awards for Best Visual Art Style.

Conclusion-
This May Not Be 100% Perfect, But still great and improvement that age well. Itself feels Well Deserved Solid Sequel Better than a Faithless Sequel Movie. I don’t know why I bought DVD of those, honestly. At least Graphic Novel Adaptation is alway the better way for the Source Material instead of Movies or TV series. This is a gold standard! I love it! 🌟

The Cover was Very Cool. Show Percy, Annabeth, And Tyson carry the weapons that been surrounds by Many Monsters was quite a Modern Legend of the Odyssey-Style that quite Hit the Mark!

THE SEAS OF MONSTERS IS A REALLY GOOD BOOK WHICH ALSO HAS SOME INTERESTING FACTS RELATED TO THE WORLD.IN THIS BOOK,PERCY AND ANNABETH GO TO SAVE THEIR FRIEND GROVER WHO IS CAPTURED BY A CYCLOPS IN THE SEA OF MONSTERS.THEY FIGHT MONSTERS,KILL THEM AND SAVE GROVER.THE BEST PART IS THE CLIMAX WHERE PERCY AND ANNABETH REACH THE ISLAND WHERE GROVER HAS BEEN KEPT AND SAVE HIM.THAT PART IS A LITTLE FUNNY TOO.

This was strides better than the first one in my opinion. The art was way more consistent, and they hit every important plot point. Compared to the novel, it definitely lacks that humor that the novels have, but I didn't notice nearly as much as I did in the first one.
