The Titan's Curse: The Graphic Novel

A rescue at a boarding school in Maine goes wrong. Annabeth is gone, and the goddess Artemis has disappeared while hunting a monster powerful enough to destroy Olympus.

A new prophecy names five who must travel west and find Artemis before the winter solstice. It also warns that two of them will not return. Percy is left off the list of the chosen, yet he follows the party anyway.

Their route runs across the country. Thalia, daughter of Zeus, travels with them, as does Zoe Nightshade of Artemis's Hunters. They are headed for a mountain in California, where a burden has been held ever since the first Titan war.

This graphic novel adapts Rick Riordan's 2007 novel and was published by Disney-Hyperion in October 2013. Robert Venditti wrote the script, Attila Futaki did the drawing and Gregory Guilhaumond the colouring. At 128 pages, it is the third of five comics that retell the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

The prophecy leaves two seats on the quest with no return, and Percy has put himself in the party uninvited.
