In Response To: Re: I actually partially agree with you. (Dark One)

: Go ahead and piss off comic book fans the world over. Indeed graphic novels
: often cost more than standard written novels. I think that's how it should
: be. Also, it's something you can get a lot out of. You can read these
: stories in a jiffy and you can just go oooooo and ahhhh at the artwork.
: You can get more out of a graphic novel than a written novel.

I didn't get a tenth as much out of the HGN as I got from the novels.

: A written novel is a literary piece of art. A graphic novel is far more. It
: is visual and literary art. With the HGN you get the added bonus of not
: having just one or two artists for the whole thing, but four, not to
: mention the art gallery.

The art gallery was great. Four artists means four different people with four different visions that look completely unlike each other and completely unlike anything we saw in the games. That's not an added bonus, that's an aneurysm.

: I'm not downplaying the novels, but if I have 15 minutes to burn I won't burn
: it reading 10 pages of a novel that will just leave me unfulfilled, I'll
: read the HGN and get a whole story with loads of eye candy.

Calling anything from the HGN a "whole story" is like calling a single Milk Dud a complete dessert. I can't understand how you can think it is, unless you have the attention span of an epileptic goldfish.
