4-6Heroes of Olympus series.
Adapted by Robert Venditti.
Illustrated by
Nate Powell.
Color by Orpheus Collar. Lettering by Chris Dickey. Jason, Piper, and Leo leave Camp Half-Blood to rescue Hera from the giants draining her power in order to resurrect Porphyrion, king of the giants. Meanwhile, Jason's lost his memory and calls the gods by their Roman names. The graphic-novel treatment requires a lot of expository dialogue, but Riordan's wry humor shines through, aided by dynamic panel illustrations showing the demigods' comically expressive faces.
