Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

The Anita Blake series is the only graphic novel I read regularly.

Diana Gabaldon has released one for her Outlander series which I will autobuy as well as they come out.

I have a problem with GNs based on novels because the characters never look like I had them imagined.

My favorite series is definitely “Fables”, but I would have a hard time picking one favorite character. I really love how the various standard storybook characters are reimagined.
  Haven’t read as many graphic novels based off of books, but I did enjoy those based on Patricia Brigg’s work to tide over the wait between her books.
  I have a feeling that Kim Harrison’s would help with that as well, would love to win a copy :)

Teresa, I had forgotten about Fables.  I loved those as well.  My son turned me on to them.  He said there is also a regular novel out based on the GNs which is a switch.

Absolutely love the Sin City Novels. 

I’ve read others, including 300, and found them to be enjoyable but for some reason Sin City just stands above the rest for me.

I’m quite fond of Gaiman’s Sandman graphic novels. My favorite character of which is Delirium. :)

Oh, I’ve got plenty that I love- Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Wormword: Gentleman Corpse, 300, Runaways, 30 Days of Night, Transmetropolitan, Fell, Lock & Key…  I’ll stop now before I list every one I have in my comics collection.

Favorite artist/writer is Ben Templesmith.  I absolutely love his style.

I love Sin City, Firefly (the Preacher’s tale made me cry) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Spike and Xander are my heroes), and the few Harry Dresden files out there.

. . . .but right now my kids and I are really into Owly.  My four-year old is so proud that she can read it all by herself!

Seriously? Woww….I’m a really big fan of the Hollows series, so it’ll be a kick and a half to see how it translates into the graphic novel world.

Best graphic novels out there, though?

Old school Iron Man FTW.

Probably Death or Delirium from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman - Death was the character who got me hooked on the series, but I loved Delirium so much that Brief Lives was the volume I chose to buy and have Gaiman sign. If you ever have a chance to attend a reading of his, by the way, do it, because he is excellent.

I’ll also mention Rayek, from Wendy and Richard Pini’s Elfquest. Elfquest and Sandman were the two series that got me hooked on graphic novels, because they showed me that not all of it was superheroes. Thank goodness my local library got all the volumes, because there’s no way my young self would have been able to buy them.

Definitely Jesse (The Preacher) from The Preacher series by Garth Ennis.  Nothing even comes close. 
Here’s a link.

It blew me away.

[SB Sarah says: I fixed the link! No worries!]

Well, I was trying to make a link, but clearly hit the wrong buttons.  Sorry about that.

Graphic novels are something that I gaze at, wanting to read them, but don’t know where to start. So I started with my 7 year old - we like the Bones graphic novels.

Oh my god, my best friend has been recommending Kim Harrison to me forever, and I keep wanting to pick her up, but haven’t had a chance yet, and in light of that, here is the perfect, perfect contest!

I adore Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, Art Spiegelman’s Maus (a work I think everyone should read), and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis (just as important as Maus, as far as I’m concerned), but in terms of the graphic novel series (and character) that I love the best of all, it has to be Roman Dirge’s Lenore. *G* Adorable, odd, at times rather surreal and just a little bit disturbing, the cute little dead girl gets me every time. <3

I’m another Sandman fan. I can’t pick a favorite character.

My sweety is the big authority on comic books and graphic novels, that’s pretty much all he reads. That and when he’s treated to me reading the most ridiculous portions of my books out loud lol.

I like Melissa’s picks very much.  I have to say that Elfquest and then later Sandman were among the first comics and graphic novels I ever started collecting, and I still love them dearly.
I tend to read more manga these days, and my favorite character at the moment is Watanuki from xxxHolic by Clamp.  I think it is because I have seen his character develop through the series as he learns that other people value him, and learns how to value himself; that really speaks strongly to me.
Hours72 - I would gladly spend 72 hours reading graphic novels, but it won’t take me that long to read Blood Work!

It’s been a while for graphic novels for me, although I have to throw my love out for Strangers in Paradise with Francine and Katchoo.

I can’t say I’ve read many graphic novels, but I did glom all the Elfquest the library had…

I love all of Kim Harrison’s Hollows novels.  I’ve never really read a graphic novel so this sounds like a good place to start.  I loved reading comic books when I was a kid so this is sort of like comic books for adults huh?

Can’t wait for it to come out!

I read the Anita Blake comics whenever I can. What can I say? I love seeing Jean-Claud’s frequently bare chest.

I really enjoyed the Cal McDonald Mysteries. It is a UF with a lot of horror. He is like a really screwed up Buffy

. It is hilarious and the artwork is wonderful too.

Archie’s epic struggle between Betty and Veronica.

:)

No, really, I like The Dresden Files GC that have been done so far.

Anita Blake is fabulous.  And if she and Neil Gaiman’s Sandman are the ‘whole package’, then Kim Harrison’s Hollow’s series featuring Rachel, Ivy and Jenks, is the bow on top.  Funny, sexy and riveting.  What more could a girl want?  And while Ivy is the best written paragon of inner conflict to come along in ages, there’s a little Rachel in all of us.  Being dragged on our asses down a suburban street by a demon, kicking, screaming, and cursing all the way…who hasn’t been there?

If Anita Blake and Sandman bring the ‘whole package’, then Rachel, Ivy and Jenks are the big, pretty bow on top.  Ivy is the best written paragon of inner conflict to come along in ages. But there’s a little Rachel in all of us.  Wearing the wrong thing to the party, being dragged on her ass down a suburban street by a demon, cursing all the way.  Who hasn’t been there?

Interesting the way you drew Ivy’s inner spirit spilling out of her, reaching out to her boss, creating the atmosphere of a girl who doesn’t believe in to far to get her way. It gave the bloodlust a inhuman glow that is not unlike charming your way to getting what you want in this life.

The first “graphic novel” I ever bought was the X-Men’s Dark Phoenix Saga omnibus, and it still rules.  Jean Grey is my all-time favorite comic heroine, and her story is still powerful, umpteen years and countless rereads later.  No school like the oldskool, and all that:)  Thanks for the contest, SB’s!

I’m saving my favorite for you Kim. I love everything you write. So I’ll be there to buy your 1ST graphic novel. Brenda Kahn

Love the Hollows series. Can’t wait to see the GN.

I don’t generally read graphic novels but I would love to read Kim’s!

Graphic Novels are new to me.  I bought the one from Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series and although the characters differ from what I envisioned, it was fun to get the storyline that wasn’t included in the series.  The Hollows series is fabulous and the GN should be fun with the parts we haven’t read about yet!

My graphic novel collection thus far consists mainly of Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series, but I also have Patricia Brigg’s prequel to her Mercy Thompson series.  Totally love it.  I just wish that Patricia would continue to make the graphic novels for the rest of the books.

As far as some of the comments about the characters not looking like what the readers imagined, I just write it off to differences in artistic interpretation, just like with movie adaptations.  I’m able to enjoy it for what it is, not what I think it should be.

When I found out yesterday that Kim Harrison was releasing this graphic novel, I was sooooo excited.  Not only is it a story that I always wondered about, but I don’t have to wait 9 months for it to actually come out.  My only question for her would be, is this a one-time only deal, or are you planning on creating graphic novels for the rest of the series as well?

I love Cutter from the Elfquest graphic novels along with several others out there, but I am really liking Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson as well.

I am looking forward to reading this.  I own several paranormal series and this will be a great addition to my Hollows books.  :D

My faves would have to be Sandman and Buffy. I love the Hollow series and can’t wait to see how it translates to graphic novel.

I’ve been on a DC kick lately - Wonder Woman, Batman & Superman ... Though Spawn and CYBER Force were my favorites when I was younger.

Current favorites are two manga titles I’ve been collecting—Bride of the Water God and Ooku: The Inner Chambers.

If I have to pick a favorite GN, it would be Blood Work. I don’t read GN’s much.  The last one I read was Watchmen because I liked the movie.

Kim is my all time favorite author.  I’ve been >stalking<  ...umm reading her books and commenting in her Drama Box on a regular basis for quite a while.  Not only has she signed all my books, she even signed my Kindle!

Jenks is my favorite character in the books.  It looks like Blood Work happens before he meets Ivy and Rachel.  I haven’t seen any pages with him in them yet.

V^^^^V

don’t have any graphic novels yet but i’m looking forward to reading one in the near future.

Oh goodness ... graphic novels ... I’m not sure if Wolverine: Prodigal Son counts as a graphic novel or as a manga, but I loved it! I was also a HUGE Elfquest fan ... and still own them and re-read them regularly

I’d have to go with Jack from Jack of Fables by Bill Willingham. Hilarious and fun series. :)

My favorite graphic novel series are Neil Gaiman’s Sandman and Alan Moore’s Promethea. I also love Buffy Season 8, V for Vendetta, Fray, Lost Girls, and Castle Waiting. My favorite character is probably Death of the Endless, with Delirium a close second.

Hands down DC’s Kingdom Come by Alex Ross & Mark Waid. I own it in the original mini series, the graphic novel compilations and the novelization. If they published it on cereal boxes, I’d buy them. Compelling story telling and breathtaking art, can’t ask for more.

I’ve perused a few graphic novels but I’m not a regular reader.  I am however a HUGE Hollows fan so I’m really excited to see how the characters translate to this medium.

Kim you freaking Rock! I cant wait to pick up the graphic novel.

I love Sin City and Lady Death.  Marv is my favorite in Sin City.

I can’t wait for this GN!  Rachel is pretty much what I had in mind.  I want to see Jenks!

<3

My favorite graphic novel has to be V for Vendetta with V as my favorite character. There’s just something about how eloquent he is, yet at the same time ACTUALLY doing something to fight for the freedom of England. Also It’s fantastically illustrated.

Can’t wait to read about ivy and rachel’s first meeting…..would be my first gn, but I’m looking forward to it!

My favorite graphic novel character is probably Batman from Batman The Dark Knight Returns. There are plenty of good ones out there though.

At this point, my favorite Graphic Novel character is Anita Blake, but she will have some competition in my heart once I get my hands on “Blood Work.” I love me some Rachel Morgan :)

I have never read a graphic novel so I’m going to pick Ivy in Bloodwork.  I absolutely love the Hollows novels and Ivy is my favorite character in those.  I’m excited to see what her point of view look like!

Oh, wow I am gonna show my age here. Usagi Yojimbo, the Ronin who roams medieval Japan and just happens to be a rabbit. There was a new edition not long ago but I still have the original which is *cough* over 20 years old.

Most interesting graphic novel characters were probably the Bennet sisters in the Marvel release of Pride and Prejudice. There’s a lot of love for Sandman so I won’t mention it but have to give a shout to Tek Jansen.
http://www.amazon.com/Stephen-Colberts-Jansen-John-Layman/dp/1934964166/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1310052430&sr=1-1

I’ve never actually read a graphic novel just for myself, but I read alot of them to my son when he was younger. I made the “noises” and everything :D I always left out the inappropriate parts and made something up. I am really looking forward this one as I love the Rachel and the Hollows.

Jenks is my favorite Hallows character. Graphic Novel… I think Delerium. From Sandman.

My favorite is John Constantine in Hellblazer, although Silk Spectre II in Watchmen is a good one, too.

It’s hard to choose a favorite character but I love Jenks too :) Favorite graphic novel? Hard decision- but I have to go with A Girl and Her Fed- does it matter that it is an online novel? Because it’s awesome

Awww..so much Elfquest love!  I’m, going with Skywise, all the way, bay-bee.  He is awesome.  Also love Andrew from Buffy Season 8, Death From Sandman, and the last man in Y the Last Man.  Girl Genius isn’t technically a graphic novel but oh, how I do love every character from Girl Genuis, and let’s not forget The Tick (“Spooooon!) if we’re branching from graphic novels to comic books (the diff being that a graphic novel is supposed to be a stand alone work (like a novel) while a comic book is more like an episode in a TV series - let the quibbling begin!)

My favorite would have to be Ryan from the Blood Legacy comics by Kerri Hawkins. I love it when my favorite authors make their books into comics. (Although Hawkins made her comics into very well written books) It just takes you one step further into the world that the author is trying to take you to. I’m sure Blood Work by Harrison will be another great one!

I loved the New Mutants - Kitty, Illyana, Sam, Roberto, Piotr, Rahne
I’m not sure which my absolute favorite was, (maybe Jean Grey’s daughter from the other time-line that wasn’t really true but might be in the future… I think her name was Rachel and her mutant name used Phoenix or Marvel Girl as a base, like Phoenix-lite but not that cause it would be silly.)
There isn’t one particular graphic novel that I loved best, they were great as an on-going soap opera with friendships that mattered to the characters.

Patricia Briggs’ graphic novels got me started on what I’d always thought of as “comics”. I also really like Marjorie M. Liu’s installments of the X-Men.

You know, I haven’t read a graphic novel in so long I can’t remember what the last one was!  Probably a Sandman.  Which is another reason (first being the Hollows is a great series and Kim is a bad ass writer who doesn’t let herself slide in to banality and become a joke as the serie’s progresses) I was so excited about this project. :)

The graphics are awesome. Just as I imagined them too !
Xxoo

It’s hard to pick a favorite… I do love all the comics based on the books I read… but I’m going to have to go with Walking Dead.

I have to pick another from Elfquest.  Nightfall.  She is a warrior woman, yet under all the steel and swords is a passionate wife.  She is what I have always striven to be.  A Mother Wolf to my (as yet unborn) children.  A warrior woman, strong enough to protect my family and the best wife I can be.

The art looks fantastic, I can’t wait to add Blood Work to my collection!  I have been in withdrawal since finishing Pale Demon.

My favorite character of all times is the awesome Buffy Summers.  I’m so glad I have the graphic novels to continue my Buffy addiction.  I can’t wait to read Blood Work,  I always wondered what happened when Rachel met Ivy.

Wow, I didn’t know some of my other favorite authors had graphic novels out, aside from Laurell K. Hamilton. I will have to check those out. I am eagerly awaiting Blood Work. I love the Hollows and am happy to soak up every bit possible.

Go Kim!!!

My favorite Hollows character is definitely Trent. He’s got class, the looks, the winning personality… Who am I kidding, Trenton Kalamack is probably the biggest as*h**e in the Hollows world but I’ve always loved the badboys ;)

Sorry about the double post but I couldn’t find an edit button.
My favorite GN character has got to be Ampersand the sh*t slinging Capuchin monkey from Y: The Last Mani

I don’t read graphic novels much anymore (since college) but I did read a goodly amount of manga.  My last favorite character was Haruhi Fujioka from “Ouran High School Host Club”.  Unlike so many manga/anime girls, she’s not concerned about her outward appearance - initially the boys thought she was a boy.  It’s pretty fun to read about a female character that isn’t portrayed as cute or kawaii.

I really enjoyed the Mercy Thompson Homecoming graphic novel. My favorite original graphic novel series is the Amulet series by Kazu Kibuishi. Written and drawn simply enough that an elementary school student can read them, but with a compelling and complex storyline that even adults (or theoretical adults, like me :) can enjoy. Plus giant robots!

books chracters as graphic novels would be Patricia Brigg’s Mercy series and Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunters. But I do love my comics so I’ve read lots of as graphic novels and no I can’t pck a favorite of those.

Emailed my comic guy to add it to my pile of stuffs!! Woot!!

Though I’ve spent way more money than I want to think about on GN’s for my son, I’m not a reader myself. But an opportunity to read more on The Hollows will get me reading them for sure! Not so impressed with Rachel & Ivy’s looks… Just not quite as sexy as imagined, looking forward to seeing Jenks… And Trent! Yeah, definitely want to see Trent!

frist one i read in along time was James Patterson’s witch & wizard. I liked whit, it made me think of my childhood, and the crazy made up games me and my friends did. it’s just great now to get out of this world, into a graphic novel, far away from the maddness of this world :)

Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men is at the top of my list as far as graphic novels go.  It’s a fresh take on one of the classic superhero comic series.

My favorite graphic novels were the old Elfquest ones from the 80’s.  They were beautifully illustrated and just fun to read.

Elfquest holds a special place in my heart because it was the first graphic novel series I remember getting interested in as a kid.

The only real graphic novel I’ve read and liked (much to the chagrin of my comic-artist-husband) was Adam Warren’s EMPOWERED. I’ve never been able to decide whether the whole thing is really sexist or empowering, and that kind of intrigues me.

It’s the one “everyone” knows, but my favorite graphic novel by far is Watchmen. The characters have so many dimensions to them that I couldnt put the book down when I first read it.

I have never read a graphic novel before. But Blood work , Kim Harrison and the Hollows has really got me interested.I can’t wait to see all the characters come to life.I can’t wait to see Jenks and Rachel and Trent. It’s going to open me up to ne
w way to see my favorite books. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT!!!!!!

Gah, I’m so behind on my graphic novel reading, but the thing that most stands out to me in my mind as wanting to finish reading whenever I think about it is the Y: The Last Man series.  It’s such a fun concept, great art, really witty writing.  Someday, someday. . .

Ember, Skywise from Elfquest.  Heck the whole cast.  Wonderful development.  Just wish the re-releases were larger like the original copies.

I used to read lots of comics, then got away from “collecting”.  As far as true graphic novels, I’ve read very few.  I think I read some Dragonlance adaptations that were very good several years ago.

I’d love to win this!!!!

Sandman is an interesting series, but picking a favorite is hard. I think I’m going to have to lean towards a manga for it.

Petshop of Horrors make the top of my favorites, after some consideration. I wish it wasn’t so hard to find, but it was discontinued years ago. It goes into some fairly in-depth stories and explanations of different mythical beings, some of the faults of humanity, and what happens when the two combine.

I do have to say, I’m sad that Al won’t be in Blood Work. I’m hoping he’ll be in another GN if there winds up being more than one.

I love Diana Gabalondon’s Outlander series, but wasn’t totally sold on the graphic novel.  I didn’t dislike it and it was a nice refresher of the storyline, but it missed so many of the smaller details that really made the story special to me.

I’ve enjoyed Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter GNs.  By splitting the books in half and taking it into two volumes it felt like a lot less was lost.  I bought some Anita Blake comic books recently but haven’t had a good chance to read them yet.

This book is one I have been looking forward to!

Well - I don’t have any graphic novels that I am reading or have read.  I do love comic books, and those are like graphic soap operas.  :)

I love the Amazing Spiderman, Buffy, & X-men.

heatwave96(at)hotmail.com

I think my favorite of the limited graphic novels I’ve read is Cohen The Barbarian from Terry Pratchett’s collaboration with Paul Kidby titled The Last Hero.  Who wouldn’t love a 90 year old hero in an ancient loincloth and bad dentures??  :)

I read Pictures of You by Gibson Twist on line, never miss an update. I also have a number of books, Preacher, some of Gaiman’s stuff, and an absolutely excellent graphic biography of Louis Riel by Chester Brown. But I think Michelle from Pictures of You might be my favorite character, working her way through college.

I’ve never been much of a GN fan, but my favorite character is Rogue from X-Men. I love strong female characters and I can’t wait to read the Hollow’s GN (especially because I think Kisten is supposed to be in it).

I really like Lisa Simpson from The Simpson’s comic books. I am a big fan of everything having to do with the Simpsons, but Lisa is my favorite. Even though I love all of the characters from The Simpsons, I truly identify with Lisa Simpson the most. Lisa Simpson is intelligent, sweet, misunderstood, always stands up for what she believes in, and strives to always do the right thing. Lisa is not the most popular girl in school, which does bother her at times, but in the end she cares more about finding ways to solve more important issues. She cares about such issues as saving the animals and the earth rather than being the most popular. Lisa is also the middle child of the family and so am I. I won’t even get started on the whole “being a middle child” deal. Finally, Lisa may not have any super powers, but putting up with a father like Homer Simpson and a big brother like Bart Simpson makes her super duper.

The Anita Black and the new graphic novel from Patricia Brigg’s series is at the top of my list. The art is interesting and I love seeing interpretations of these characters I love reading about.

For a graphic novel , I actually don’t read them o_0 I did pick up the adaptation from the Mercy Thompson series and loved the wolves.
I love the Hallows series and I am stoked to see Ivy get her own. Those boots would be sweet! Totally checking that giveaway out thanx!
Count me in for this awesomesauce!

I’ve lost track of track of the latest additions to this series (I tend to lose interest when I can’t remember one book from another, as I think I might as well re-read the old ones if I’m interested, rather than buy the new one).  A graphic novel might rekindle that interest.  Or might not - I’ve not tried one before.

Another ElfQuest fan, here.  I loved the whole cast but was especially fond of Skywise.  :0)  Great artwork, too.

I would have to say EMP (aka Elisa Megan Powers), the hard suffering, often dieting, exceedingly self conscious super-heroine from Adam Warren’s Empowered.

It’s an exceedingly funny series, but laced with tragedy that, maybe because of the usual hilarity, strikes even harder - especially on the “3 Seconds Too Late” storyline.

Emp is not only the laughing stock of superpowered community (due to her tendency to being taken out, tied up and often disrobed by even the weakest supervillains), but her lack of luck has made her a YouToob star, thus spreading her reputation to the public at large. Still, she refuses to give in and take the easy road, and just drop from heroing—because she’s a superhero, damnit, and she’ll do the right thing, no matter what the cost to herself.

Katchoo, from Strangers in Paradise, is my all time favorite. Strangers in Paradise is the ONLY graphic novel series I have bought multiple volumes of,

It’s been awhile, but I also liked the main character in Y: The Ring of Truth.

And of course, always Buffy.

I love Mike Carey’s Lucifer. The series, the character…it’s all good.

I love Fables, but my all time favourite would have to be Gaiman’s Sandman. The intricacy of the stories, the way every incident, no matter how small builds towards the climax of the series, takes my breath away. I love Death (how can you not?) and Dream. Even the minor characters are compelling - Cain and Able, Lucifer, the Corinthian, Lucien, Barbie… and the other Endless, of course.

I’ve never been interested in graphic novels before, but I love the Kim Harrison Hollows books and this gn captures exactly how I pictured the characters. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

I started on comics, and have whole collections of those old-timers. But of the graphic novels, I think Art Spiegelman’s Maus set are the ones I, too, would urge everyone to read. Powerful.

When I was a kid I worked in a comic/used book store when I was 14.  :-)  The owner said I was in there so often I might as well work there and paid me to shelve books on the weekends.

Back then is when I first discovered graphic novels.  I had never heard of them before that.  My very first GN read was Interview with a Vampire and then Heavy Metal.  :0)    Now I’m hooks on the Last Man series and I’ve bought both the Dresden Files and the Mercy Thompson graphic novels.  Even Sherrilyn Kenyons Dark Hunter novels are now in Magna format.  Those take some getting used to as you have to read them backwards.  :0)

Kim Harrison is a must buy for me of any and all books she comes out with.  Rachel, Jinx, and Ivy are wonderful and I can poor over the books over and over again.

I love Death from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman graphic novels.

I have only just started looking at graphic novels.  My son loves the James Patterson Angel series.  I have read the first Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunter Manga.  I preferred the novels.  Thanks for the giveaway!

Not sure if it’s still going, but lately my favorite character is Scott Pilgrim. The novels are light and fun and the movie was fantastic. I just can’t help but root for the guy you kind of love to hate a little bit.

I’ve always been a fan of fairy tales. So when I saw the Grimm Fairy Tales in GN form I had to have them. The art is beautifully done, the girls are not hard on the eyes, and tales are cool with just a bit of an adult twist. Sela and Belinda are my fav’s. Sela is a great good do-er, while Belinda could wreck your world.
I love Kim’s work and look forward to Blood Work! Her characters Rach, Ivy, Jenks, Big Al and Trent are all very near and dear to my heart. LOVE the HOLLOW’S series. :)
Thanks for the opportunity!
~Lynn from Haverhill

Kim Harrison is my favorite writer and I can’t wait to read her graphic novel. Some of the other series I like are Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson Series and all of Kelley Armstrong’s series.

I see that I am in good company in saying that my favority graphic novel is the Sandman series, favorite character being Dream.  If Manga counts, I also love One Piece.  My favorite character there is probably Zorro, Luffy or Nami.

Dear Bitches:
i have to admit that I am new to graphic novels, but there is NO WAY that I’m letting Blood Work slip past me. I will grab this GN as soon as it hits the shelves. Ms. Harrison is in a class all her own as far as I’m concerned.  I love Ivy - who doesn’t? She’s confindent in her own skin - even if she doesn’t quite know who she is yet - or rather, can’t accept who she is yet.  We accept you, Ivy. Rock on, Kim Harrison! Another notch in your belt! xo

The only graphic novel I’ve really read is Anita Blake

My fav would have to be the Phoenix Saga or Firefly.

Never read a graphic novel but will definitely read this one…and the next one…!

Loved the Fray series but hated that future lingo way of talking.

I must say that I love the cast of the Watchmen, the old Jonah Hex comics, and some pre-Neil Gaiman Xmen. But more importantly I am looking forward to seeing things from Ivy’s point of view in Kim Harrison’s first graphic novel!

I am new to graphic novels.  I have read Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson one and Kelley Armstrong’s Elena/Clay novel.  I am eagerly looking forward to this one!

I don’t read a lot of graphic novels (I forget to look at the pictures) but I loved the Harry Dresden graphic novels, I think that those story lines lend themselves really well to visual interpretation.  Kim Harrison’s work is the same way and I can’t wait to see it.  I especially want to see Jenks!
