I'm always wary when I hear of a live-action film adaptation of a popular book/comic, especially for speculative themes. It's really, really hard to preserve all those fantastical elements unless (or perhaps even if) CGI is involved. :-\Alisha (MyNeedToRead)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14185092893064416351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392300972878140739.post-89748221683255359192014-05-31T00:02:42.273-04:002014-05-31T00:02:42.273-04:00Ooooh, I'd definitely recommend Saga even more...Ooooh, I'd definitely recommend Saga even more, then.

Ooh, what a delightful conundrum to be in! :-) Looking at some of the stuff you've read, I'd recommend some of the following classic graphic novels: V for Vendetta; Sandman; Persepolis; Watchmen; and Maus. I've also heard great things about Stumptown and Criminal, Vol. 6: The Last of the Innocent.Alisha (MyNeedToRead)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14185092893064416351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392300972878140739.post-61192563464142512592014-05-28T10:57:59.642-04:002014-05-28T10:57:59.642-04:00I don't read (English) comics only manga, but ...I don't read (English) comics only manga, but I'm seeing Saga everywhere so I might have to check that one out :) Caycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878030813967203887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392300972878140739.post-91568302289486065932014-05-28T07:33:07.726-04:002014-05-28T07:33:07.726-04:00I adore graphic novels.

My husband reads graphic novels sometimes, mostly The Walking Dead, and loves them. I figure maybe one day I'll give them a shot. I don't know. They seem pretty violent and I don't really enjoy the pictures. <br />Ashley (Closed the Cover) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300780091593314311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392300972878140739.post-77763735593579147262014-05-27T20:18:08.608-04:002014-05-27T20:18:08.608-04:00I just can't get into comics, but I liked read...I just can't get into comics, but I liked reading why you like them.

There are only a handful of adaptations that I truly like and only one that I prefer the film series to the book series. It's really difficult to give up what you've had in your mind while reading and accept what's on the screen, especially when they are polar opposites!<br /><br />Kristen @ <a href="http://prettylittlepages.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Pretty Little Pages</a>Kristen @ Pretty Little Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08135220222156274040noreply@blogger.com
