I considered Manga as Graphic novel and comic refers to those superheroes comic book from US. I grew up reading Manga and never left it behind even though I am now more than 30 years old.<br /><br />As you know I have seen the movies and haven't read the book yet. I am curious with it as it has different art style compare to Manga. European graphic novels are unique and have their own styleNovrozhttp://bokunosekai.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-21617903028152129022011-07-24T23:13:50.010+01:002011-07-24T23:13:50.010+01:00THis was my first graphic novel as well!

I was proved wrong, obviously. <br /><br />I've read half of the Sandman series--it's so expansive and I love that you can find myth, and a little bit of creepiness, and even Shakespeare in it. I totally recommend the series.<br /><br />Also, Y: The Last Man, The Walking Dead, and of course the Watchmen. And if you want even more recommendations, Fables and Unwritten are great series as well!ginahttp://ginachoe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-46641907673178965512011-07-24T22:58:37.533+01:002011-07-24T22:58:37.533+01:00I'm very fussy with drawings when I read comic...I'm very fussy with drawings when I read comics or graphic novels. I have started the Essex County trilogy and, even though I am not specially fan of the drawings, I like the story. Maybe a change of taste is happening here?Emhttp://emeire.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-76948920179958371122011-07-24T21:31:46.208+01:002011-07-24T21:31:46.208+01:00This book is on my wishlist- it sounds really good...This book is on my wishlist- it sounds really good. <br /><br />Does the fact it's a graphic novel make the bleak bits more manageable - as it seems the drawings make the story a little childish?<br /><br />I wonder how it compares to a written story. No, I don't read graphic novels very often either, especially a more serious one like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-35922567326861419632011-07-24T21:16:15.412+01:002011-07-24T21:16:15.412+01:00I can't agree with you enough on how amazing t...I can't agree with you enough on how amazing this book is. Like you, it was my first graphic novel (and I haven't read another since) so I didn't know what to expect. But it blew me away.<br /><br />You should watch the film, it's very faithful to the style of the book.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.com
