this had siblings and a talking cat, who under circumstances turned out to be a titan, aka prometheus. like, if this doesn’t make you want to read it then idk what will. also, this!! ending!! my lifespan just expanded a few years. oh my, it was so adorable. i loved this graphic novel. it’s full of adventure, supernatural creatures, friendship, family, and lots of charm and sarcasm. i laughed, i smiled, and i almost cried. please go read this because, honestly, i want to curl up and read it all...
I am a sucker for mythology and the good vs. evil. Besides who cannot love a talking chubby cat? Po-mothehus was so cute. The pages just flew by.
Silly, funny, and I legit learned a few things about Greek Gods.The art is fun and I really liked the characters designs. This book has quite a few gods and creatures in it. My favorite was probably Arachne (although the mermaids were pretty cool too.). It is for young readers and I was able to read it within an hour or so. With it being under Kaboom, there isnt any adult themes really, but I still enjoyed the ride. It is short and I wished they would have had more time to focus on the details o...
Beautiful art. The in media res/flashback structure might be too confusing for the intended audience as the delineation between the present and the past isn't very clear.The volume should also probably have been a tad longer if it's going to be a standalone (especially if you're going to have such a large cast of characters).
The art in this book is very pleasing, but the story is fairly slight. Three siblings chase their cat into the forest and stumble upon a hidden temple to the Greek gods. They break a jar, and release some version of Pandora's curse on their small town- almost immediately, monsters begin attacking them. Confusingly, the first monster they face is a chupacabra, a creature who comes from South America myths, and later they see a jabberwocky, which comes from Lewis Carrol's poetry. These both felt o...
Not for me but also not *for* me so ok I guess.Extremely fast paced, very middle grade, cute illustrations, but barely establishes a platform for what the hell is going on (and why) before you're in the thick of it. I feel like it could benefit from at least a handful of clear cut panels that explain things more definitively. The pacing kind of reminds me of manga, which is another genre that usually ends up being hard for me to read.Definitely see this being popular with younger readers who lik...
4 stars! The illustrations are gorgeous and the story is super fast paced and fun!
Not long enough or it would've been 5 stars
Nice art and fun characters ❤️I would read a second one if it comes someday.
Clearly it has been too long since I have read any middle-grade/juvenile fiction, I was blown away by this one! I knew after reading the synopsis and seeing the cover that I wanted to read it. However, now having gotten my hands on a copy and having read it, wow. I know that this is not only a graphic novel that I enjoyed as an adult but one I would have loved as a younger reader. I fully plan on trying to force my baby sister to read this, later. Pandora's Legacy is a book perfect for readers w...
Enjoyed the premise of this story but just felt it needed more room to develop. Lots of parts just felt rushed and too quickly resolved, a deeper exploration of the mythology Leopard was introducing (idea of descendants) would have given this novel much more depth. The artwork, especially the depiction of the gods, was just amazing - definitely some of my favourite graphic novel artwork. Would love to see a continuation of this story with a longer next edition that allows for more room for deepe...
This book was really cute, but at times the cuteness was at odds with the serious parts of the story. Also, it had "first volume syndrome" in that we don't meet several important characters until the end of the story, and we still don't know why the family had kind of ignored several thousand years of tradition, in terms of training the children to potentially save the world. It's made clear that the family still believes in that goal, so what the bleep is going on?I will be interested in seeing...
Trevor and his sisters, twins Janet and Charlie, are just about to beginning summer vacation at their grandparents house when their beloved cat Po, escapes his carrier. Fleeing into the woods, the siblings chase after their cat and make an amazing discovery. In the middle of the woods is a derelict cottage filled with ancient looking statues. When Trevor breaks a vase that one of the statues is holding, the siblings unknowingly release an army of mythical creatures. For you see, that Grecian urn...
actual rating: 3.5This was a fun little graphic novel about a group of siblings who are descendants of Pandora and have to re-capture some monsters after they accidentally let them out of the box again. The art in this is gorgeous [also their cat is adorable] and the story was a lot of fun but ultimately I think it was too short and everything felt very rushed toward the end. I was sure it was going to end of a cliffhanger despite being marked as a standalone but they managed to just barely reso...
Three siblings follow their cat into the woods, and stumble onto a strange site full of classical statues. After knocking over a jar and breaking it, they discover that their cat is now possessed by Prometheus. They also learn that they are descendants of Pandora, and find themselves fighting off creatures such as chupacabras, homicidal mermaids, and a bankunawa - to name a few. Imagine typical teens sorting out the powers of the various monsters and trying to get the backstory from Prometheus (...
An okay and exciting story with a dash of mythology!
I was really excited reading the description of this graphic novel, descendants of Pandora who have to deal with Pandora's box being opened? Yes please. The banter between the siblings and the humor woven throughout was spot on and helped the story move along quickly. The artwork was so vibrant and dynamic and I loved how each of the monsters shown were illustrated. There were points where things were written in Greek and one instance where Korean was used and I wish there had been a translation...
The Panagakos family are descendants of Pandora. For generations the family has worked to protect Pandora's box and guard against the dangerous monsters it contains.Except no one ever told younger siblings Charlie, Janet, or Trevor about that. When the three of them find (and break) a mysterious jar in the wood near their grandparents' house, they have no idea what they've unleashed.Lacking their older siblings' training, not to mention their weapons, Charlie, Janet, and Trevor will have to band...
3.5Beautiful art, but the story felt a bit rushed.
A delightful, adventurous story full of diverse characters and mythical creatures. Siblings; Charlie, Jan and Trevor stumble into a mysterious hidden grotto filled with ancient statues. Trevor, being the mischievous teen he is, accidentally breaks a jar that is held by one of the statues, which turns out to be the legendary Pandora’s Box. Set free from the box are all the monsters that have been contained by magic as well as the titan, Prometheus who now possesses the family cat and explains the...
