Oh My Gods is a graphic novel I won from a Goodreads giveaway, by Stephanie Cook and Insha Fitzpatrick, with art by Juliana Moon.
Karen is just an average thirteen-year-old from New Jersey who loves to play video games with her friends and watch movies with her mom. But when she moves to Greece to live with her eccentric, mysterious father, Zed, suddenly everything she thought about herself—about life—is up in the air.
Starting a new school can be difficult, but starting school at Mt. Olympus Junior High, where students are gods and goddesses, just might take the cake. Especially when fellow classmates start getting turned to stone. Greek mythology . . . a little less myth, a little more eek! And if Karen's classmates are immortal beings, who does that make her?
Gonna just throw a 2.5 at this xD It's a really cute little middle grade comic, and I cannot say that I won't read on.
It has some concepts I really like, such as gods being reborn because, like, yeah, makes sense, keeps life entertaining, right? Dunno about having to go to school every new life, but you get to feel new and not, like, tired of living forever.
I will admit, it was really hard to see some of the gods act how they did, but that's the fault of PJO, not the comic itself.
However... The comic really doesn't expect the readers to know anything about Greek myths. Like... The villain of the story is painfully obvious. And considering the fact one of the friends is goddess of wisdom, the fact she didn't instantly know... I dunno. I will admit, I cringed a lot reading this.
But I am also a 24-year-old dragon, and I cannot say a 9 year old wouldn't have eaten this up 100% xD I think MG should be enjoyable by all, but this may be a case where it needs to just stay for its demographics. Still cute, though, so, like, again, dunno if I'll read on. Also, the solution to the villain was super cute to me, even if it was painfully like something I would see in my niece's shows from Nick Jr / Disney Jr.
Maybe that's why I'm so okay with how weird and cringey this is. I have been over exposed to PJ Masks xD
