I think the visual arts like graphic novels and movies can find elements of a story that is maybe better told visually than in writing and vice versa. I like that they use their medias strenghts to tell a story and think it's ok to change the story within certain limits. In a graphic novel the quality of the drawings of course is very important.Siljehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052343427280554419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231356415955416880.post-81033451364117252242012-07-25T12:37:23.801+02:002012-07-25T12:37:23.801+02:00That's an important perspective that not every...That's an important perspective that not everyone are good at reading. And then it is even more important that the graphic novel contains the most essential parts of the story and tells in it a different an obviously more graphic way. In that way I guess it is interesting to both those who have read the books and those who haven't.Siljehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052343427280554419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231356415955416880.post-39630098478707254582012-07-23T18:31:59.329+02:002012-07-23T18:31:59.329+02:00I both like and dislike the idea of turning books ...I both like and dislike the idea of turning books into comic books. I sort of think it is a way for the author to make more money. The comic books often change the main charactres, or get's things wrong. I feel like it is wrong to give something the same name as the novel if the story has changed. <br />But on the bright side like you said the makers has limits and often has to change the story. That might come up with new and interesting plots so those can be a good thing. The fact that they make them in other forms also opens the story to a new audience which is cool.<br />But in the end I'd like them to stick to the normal version, because that is where the story lies. And in most cases (HP, VA, Hunger Games) the books is ten times better than the other products. <br /><br />take care :-)Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13510964764171644845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231356415955416880.post-76670038821632898842012-07-20T21:31:53.038+02:002012-07-20T21:31:53.038+02:00I like the whole idea of graphic novel of the popu...I like the whole idea of graphic novel of the popular books. Coz many people are not good at reading. But they can read cartoons. So I think it´s cool that they can get to read the awesome stories aswell.<br />Though I think all fans of the book probably would be dissapointed of the graphic novels. Since they will be lacking a lot of info compared to a whole book. <br />But the people who don´t read books wouldn´t know that, and will probably enjoy them. I guess :)MoonStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216372853450400535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231356415955416880.post-29325659755266255752012-07-20T16:50:36.141+02:002012-07-20T16:50:36.141+02:00Since I went to Comic Con this past weekend I'...Since I went to Comic Con this past weekend I've been getting really into Graphic Novels. The ones that are done well are fantastic. There's one for The Hobbit and Game of Thrones that are really great, but I can see why fudging things like hair color would be annoying. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.literaryexploration.com" rel="nofollow">Anna @ Literary Exploration</a>Anna @ Literary Explorationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030647208439202308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231356415955416880.post-73134822150003632952012-07-20T11:54:39.292+02:002012-07-20T11:54:39.292+02:00The wrong haircolor?

I was afraid to try another graphic novel again but when VA was at my local store I flipped through it and I thought the pictures were spot on to the characters and the storyline was great. I haven't tried anything else yet but the art work is key for me.<br /><a href="http://www.booksniffersanonymous.com/" rel="nofollow">Book Sniffers Anonymous</a>Kristin (Book Sniffers Anonymous)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11916755699616389906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231356415955416880.post-85977140727472157312012-07-20T00:48:03.636+02:002012-07-20T00:48:03.636+02:00So far I as well have not been too impressed with ...So far I as well have not been too impressed with the young adult versions of graphic novels. I have read a handful and did end up enjoying the PC cast House of Night book the best so far. <br />I am more a fan of the Fables and Anita Blake (both adult though)Krista Cubicleblindnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811101154871223467noreply@blogger.com
