NightIntent I'm looking forward to the Mercy comic books and the Dresden Files ones. Other than that, I don't think I'm really interested in any. I do think it's interesting that so many fantasy authors are starting to do graphic novels. To me, it kinda reflects how damn lazy people are these days. Instead of going through the effort of reading an entire book and imagining what's going one, people can now pick up a graphic novel and take the easy way out. Are we killing off kids' imaginations with this proliferation of graphic novels? Who knows. I suppose we'll find out in a few years or something. Still. Graphic novels are, in my opinion, the lazy way of reading books. I kinda hope that both the Mercy and Dresden Files graphic novels are seperate story arcs. I kinda doubt it, but I really hope they are. It'd be really nice, and then it might get more people interested in both series without giving away the actual books.
A good graphic novel can be brilliant, generally better than an ok book, of course there will always be shoddy ones (like the ones which are movie tie ins for children) though. I could get into arguments over the artistic merit and supposed "dumbing down" of children by comics which I'm not in the right frame of mind for right now but the newest Buffy comics and Sandman in general and the Stardust and Neverwhere adaptations come to the mind at the moment as examples of what a great graphic novel can do. I'd recommend them to anyone, even if they are 'the lazy way of reading books' xd . I think I read that the Dresden Files ones are a kind of prequal of sorts to the books, you can probably find out more on Jim Butcher's website 3nodding
