Paint me a picture with your words. Allow me a peek into your mind, into the tales that your imagination spins and let me turn them into a feature length movie in my head. As it turns out, for me October was a very visual and image-heavy reading month. I've already extolled upon the virtues of
Flavia de Luce here so I won't do so anymore here. Instead, let me regale you with the stories that will become movies some day. Oh because some of these graphic novels will become movies, mark my word. Half of the work has already been done - it's been visualized and storyboarded. In my head, it's even been set to music.
These are all goodies but if there's one in particular I have to recommend out of the graphic novels in October, I think it'd have to be Preacher. Just because there's so much promise in the first of a long series. It reminds me a tad of the Sandman, without the refinement which I've been told will be soon to come. I'm on the second currently and let me tell you, it's gritty. Gritty like a mouthful of sand, pounded in with a volleyball, but good.
I have a feeling I wouldn't want to be a member of the Preachers flock--but it sounds like a great read! The first book (upper left corner) would likely be way too complicated for me. :)
ReplyDeleteSome of these freak me out just looking at the covers--eek! Apparently, I'm a lightweight . . .
ReplyDeleteOooooo...Preacher sounds good. I don't think I've read graphic novels before, unless you cound The Walking Dead series:P
ReplyDeletei love that you even set it to music. sometimes i get so disappointed when books are turned into movies -- when they are nothing like how i pictured it to be! :)
ReplyDeletei thought you weren't reading as much! this looks like a whole lot to me. i have read Persepolis a long time ago, so i am not sure how much i have read but i really enjoyed it. and i am going to have to look up some of these and put them on my list. xo
ReplyDeletejealous of all of your reading! i am stuck in game of thrones, its taking me forever and ever. i'm excited to read my normal books afterwards!
ReplyDeleteoh, great selection. I love Brandon Sanderson :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like Adler Olsen! :) I will check the other ones out!
ReplyDeleteYay for Preacher!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe the author is Irish since he captures the voice of the South so authentically.
