Yakin, Boaz and Infurnari, Joe Marathon. First Second Press,
2012. $16.99, 187 pages. Language: PG, Sexual Content : PG-13 (one scene, no
nudity, not too graphic) Violence: R (lots of war violence).
Marathon tells the
story of a runner from Athens trying to warn his people of an impending
invasion. See the life of the runner and the incredible journey he undertakes
to save his people, running hundreds of miles with little rest, literally the
first marathon runner. With
artwork and content similar to Frank Miller’s epic 300, Marathon is a little
more toned down, better for school audiences. The story is well-paced, giving
the reader insight to the brutal clashes between Greek and the Persian Empire.
MS/HS – ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: Ben
