After pulling a magical thunderbolt from a stone, ten-year-old Zeus goes on the adventure of a lifetime in this first graphic novel adapted from the popular Heroes in Training series!
The terrible Titans-merciless giants who enjoy snacking on humans-have dominated the earth and driven the world into chaos. But their rule is about to be put to the test as a group of young Olympians discover their powers and prepare to righteously rule the universe...
Ten-year-old Zeus is mystified (and super-annoyed) by the fact that he keeps getting hit by lightning. Every. Single. Year. Still, it's by far the most interesting thing that happens to him. He's never been far from the cave where he grew up and is beginning to think he'll never have a real adventure. But Zeus gets his wish-and a lot more than he bargained for-when he is kidnapped by dangerous, giant Titans! In a scramble for a weapon to defend himself, Zeus grabs an actual thunderbolt from a stone. Its incredible power keeps the Titans at bay, and its mysterious markings lead Zeus on a quest to rescue his fellow Olympians from the evil Cronus.
Armed with his trusty thunderbolt (named Bolt, of course), Zeus is on an adventure of a lifetime-and a journey to fulfill his destiny as King of the Gods.

Written by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams. Art by Glass House Graphics.
A young Poseidon must triumph over aquatic terrors in this second graphic novel adapted from the popular Heroes in Training series!
The terrible Titans-merciless giants who enjoy snacking on humans-have dominated the earth and driven the world into chaos. But their rule is about to be put to the test as a group of young Olympians discover their powers and prepare to righteously rule the universe...
The terrible Cronus and his Titan buddies are in hot pursuit of Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon, who plan to travel across the treacherous boiling sea to save a fellow Olympian. They have a boat, but they also have a problem: Poseidon can't swim and is terrified of the water (well, really of the creatures that lurk in its depths).
The group faces danger after danger as they battle singing sirens, a fishy and ferocious Titan named Oceanus, and people-eating monsters sent by Cronus himself. Can Poseidon overcome his fears and help his fellow heroes escape Cronus and his cronies?

Created by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams. Adapted by David Campiti. Art by Dave Santana, Flavio Soares, Juan Araujo, and Joao Zod. Cover by Dave Santana.
The Underworld usually isn't anyone's idea of a fun place-except for Hades. He loves the dark and even the stinky smell of sulfur! But there is one thing that Hades is not a fan of...dogs. And when Zeus and his fellow Olympians encounter Cerberus-a mean, snarling, three-headed dog-Hades must conquer his fears and tame the dog in order for everyone to continue on to the Underworld and drop off their Titan prisoner, Oceanus, back where he belongs! With magical water that makes one forget, hot beds of lava, and another epic battle with two more Titans standing in their way, can Zeus and his heroes make it out of the Underworld with everyone intact?

Phew, it's hot!
Under the Titan Hyperion's rule, the sun is burning even brighter than normal, and scorching everything in northern Greece-including the villagers! The Olympians are forced to play an un-fun game of Dodge the Sunbursts as Hyperion hurls giant fireballs that could fry them up! What's worse, it looks like a familiar foe, Cronus, is hot on Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades's trail.
Armed with some clues, they set out to figure out why Hyperion has been making things so hot-and to rescue Hera, who is still missing. Battling the extreme heat and some fantastical and scary creatures sent by Cronus, the boys are off on another epic adventure, and Zeus is one step closer to discovering his destiny.
