Percy Jackson And The Olympians, Volume 2: Sea Of Monsters – Percy Jackson is back in this new graphic novel. Seventh grader and demigod Percy Jackson has had a quiet year so far, but that changes quickly when a game of dodgeball becomes a death match with the arrival of an ugly gang of cannibal giants. To make matters worse, Annabeth, his friend from Camp Half-Blood, brings the bad news that the magical borders that protect the camp have been poisoned by an unknown enemy. The only safe haven for demigods will destroyed unless a cure is found. It’s up to Percy and his friends to journey into a Sea of Monsters to save their camp. This volume is being released a month ahead of the film, which is due out in August, and is sure to whet fans’ appetites. Whether you are a fan of the films or books, this beautifully illustrated and faithful adaptation is a must have. It will also make a great addition to any tween-teen/graphic collection.

Emerald City Of Oz #1 – Marvel continues its adaptations of the Oz books with the sixth volume in the series. There’s trouble back in Kansas: Uncle Henry can’t pay the mortgage, so Aunt Em, Dorothy, and he must leave. With nowhere else to go, they head to the Land of Oz! But a danger threatens the magical land. The Nomes are attacking through a secret underground tunnel. Will anyone in Oz survive long enough to greet them? Creative team Skottie Young and Eric Shanower return once more to work their magic on this new adaptation as Dorothy and Toto, now with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in tow, return to the land of Oz. It’s more all ages fun you won’t want to miss.
