Review This exciting series will appeal to mythology fans and those who fancy the idea of superheroes duking it out--figuratively. Its clever premise stimulates critical thinking and sparks conversations and debates. Students must read the lively, fact-packed, well-written narratives in each volume and pit the back stories, roles, weapons, powers, personalities, and weaknesses/vulnerabilities of the paired mythological heroes (from -diverse mythological traditions) against each other in "combat" and then determine the victor. Theyll learn a lot about these super-beings along the way. Commendably, the series demonstrates power and strength arent necessarily functions of physical strength only, but also of ethics, character, and mental and emotional might. The books emphasize the gods human qualities as well as their otherworldly ones. Hopefully, students will self-reflect on ideas such as: whats most important: intelligence, talents, physical/mental/emotional/moral strength? Combinations of these? Are some more crucial in certain situations than in others? The narratives terse, punchy sentences are written in a conversational tone, making for smooth, tension-filled reading; one gets a sense that the battles are about to begin. Bold graphics include attractive captioned b/w and color illustrations, and a fine back-matter feature, "___ vs. ___ at a Glance," a side-by-side comparative summary of each combatants strengths, weapons, etc., is in itself a great discussion starter, as students judge which personality and other traits are most advantageous overall and in which "battles" certain qualities would be beneficial. Frequent sidebars throughout provide additional information and, where applicable, gods media appearances are noted. VERDICT A clever, well-executed means for getting students stoked about mythology.
