Graphic Novels. Do you read them?

A friend of mine in the lit/publishing industry told me that graphic novels are all the rage right now. Have you ever read a graphic novel? If your favorite author had written your favorite book in graphic novel form rather than written word form, would you have read it?

Yes, yes.

I thought that Maximum Ride was just a novel. They have that as a graphic novel too?

No,for some odd reason I just prefer books with walls of text.

Yeah i do.

do you mean manga or just graphic novels?
i read manga but have only read from hell as a non-manga graphic novel if that made sense

What an oddball...

I love graphic novels. Have dozens of them. I like the art and the stories are usually pretty cool.

Yup, I make it a point not to discriminate against mediums.

Neil Gaiman. I read his as much as I can borrow them. (which, unfortunately, is not a lot anymore. I like his graphic novels. I'll probably buy some next time.)

And Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files have some graphic novels, and I've read them. 🙂 Because... it's Harry Dresden. I love the series, so yeah.

I love graphic novels. Many of them have great artwork and the stories are interesting.

Some of my favourites are Superman: The Wedding Album, Dirty Pair: Sim Hell and the Star Wars: Legacy series.

I love tor read period... Graphic Novels are great

My big dream is to do a complete graphic novel or comic book myself (I´m an hobby artist), some say "there´s one great book in everyone" well there´s a graphic novel or comic book in me.🙂

Yes and yes! Graphic novels are great, especially during busy periods in ones life when you don't really have much time to just relax and read a regular novel in a timely manner; but with a graphic novel you can just read in only about a sitting or two and still get your reading fix with a great story plus an added addition of some amazing art.

I like some graphic novels. I don't really get into fantasy so that limits most of them. However, I did just read "Nightly News" which was awesome.
