      Those ones killed me - the first ones were so much more epic and aesthetically pleasing. OG Son of Neptune beats that boat shot any day.
      I guess the publisher wants to attract new readers who might not care about Percy in particular. When SoN first dropped, it made sense to have him on the cover - fans started out with him and wanted to know what happened. Now...

      Right? And the covers don’t even fit the theme at all! If they truly wanted to do something Gaudi, they should have gone with something more reflective of what might have been seen/sold in the capital as something flashy. I have no idea what tine they were going for with the neon colors. 🤢

      It has had several style changes over the years. Some I liked, some not so much but not enough to get duplicate copies.
