Good luck on this challenge, it should be fun!!<BR/><BR/>Have you considered The Watchmen? It has a movie coming out in the spring. Anyway, it's kinda considered the Graphic Novel of all Graphic Novels. It's also featured on top 1000 book lists (like 1000 books you must read in your life).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I've been meaning to read it but never have. It's supposed to be very cool.Smashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019278830079833156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-6162132578315772542008-12-20T10:43:00.000-05:002008-12-20T10:43:00.000-05:00I finally read a few of my first graphic novels th...I finally read a few of my first graphic novels this year. They still aren't my favorite but I didn't mind them.

I'll pass them on to my nephews and niece, so I'm not concerned about the cost.<BR/><BR/>Laza: I saw the one-vol. book. It was way too thick for comfortable reading, and I wasn't sure I'd like it. So I got the smaller books. And yes, in full color. The drawings look great.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-20050153475073575572008-12-20T10:22:00.000-05:002008-12-20T10:22:00.000-05:00I just read Bone all in one volume.

Just curious: are the Bone vols you bought in color?<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to read your reviews. You always write great reviews, and I'm sure these will be no different. :) Graphic novels can be expensive, especially if they are in color. I've found that my library has some, but sometimes they don't have them all.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818290247292848025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-56112185100962431362008-12-20T08:42:00.000-05:002008-12-20T08:42:00.000-05:00Good luck.

I haven't reviewed many graphic novels in the past but you are right it is a bit different. It's sometimes hard to express how you feel about the artwork! I'm always attracted to comics with beautiful illustrations, sometimes I buy them without knowing what they are about even :PAleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793307292393570181noreply@blogger.com
