Summary
The Olympians saga draws to a close with the tale of Dionysos, the last Olympian, and maybe, just maybe, the first of a new type of God. His story is told by the first Olympian herself, Hestia, Goddess of the hearth and home. From her seat in the center of Mt Olympus, Hestia relates the rise of Dionysos, from his birth to a mortal mother, to his discovery of wine, his battles with madness and his conquering of death itself, culminating, finally, in his ascent to Olympus and Godhood.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise for Dionysos:
“O’Connor’s illustrations are bursting with action, humor and lots of details. He researched the ancient myths in order to get as close as possible to the original stories. That means his gods and goddesses are fierce, but also voluptuous, mischievous and even snarky.”–NPR Morning Edition
“A by turns epic, amusing, and tragic caper that’s even more toastworthy (for obvious reasons) than its 11 predecessors.” –Kirkus, starred review
Praise for the Olympians series:
“The generation weaned on the Marvel Universe will find much to love in O’Connor’s 12-book series. He faithfully depicts the origin stories and exploits of the major gods and goddesses, but in the style and language of classic superhero comics.” –New York Times
“Definitely worth a visit for any young demigod.” –Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series
“This series is a must for every graphic novel collection.” –SLJ Good Comics for Kids
“A first-rate series.” –Kirkus Reviews
