1-3Heroes in Training series.
These books continue the adventures of the young Olympians, who are battling King Cronus to fulfill their destinies. In Typhon, the group fights a giant and frees a captured Olympian. In Apollo, the heroes must outwit more Titans to collect the golden aegis. These installments maintain the series' lighthearted tone and humor; occasional black-and-white drawings contribute a classical tone. Review covers these Heroes in Training titles: Apollo and the Battle of the Birds and Typhon and the Winds of Destruction.
