The sun god has his day in the 8th volume of the New York Times-bestselling Olympians series!


Mighty Apollo is known by all as the god of the sun, but there's more to this Olympian than a bright smile and a shining chariot. In the latest volume of Olympians, New York Times bestselling author George O'Connor continues to turn his extensive knowledge of the original Greek myths into rip-roaring graphic novel storytelling.

Hazel ★★★★★

The way this volume balances Apollo's swagger with his lesser-known vulnerable side really hooked me, and the artwork during his sun-chariot scenes just glows off the page. It’s probably my favorite entry in the series so far.

Benjamin K. ★★★★★

I’ve read a lot of mythology retellings, but this one really digs into Apollo’s personality beyond the whole sun-god thing, and the artwork in this 8th volume is stunningly detailed. It’s a quick read but packs in plenty of depth, and it’s easily my favorite of the series so far.

Grace ★★★★★

The way Apollo’s story balances his godly confidence with his more relatable, flawed moments really hooked me, and the character dialogue feels surprisingly fresh for a series this deep in. I finished it in one sitting, and the fast pacing made me forget I was reading a graphic novel about mythology
