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.

: 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.

: 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.

dude if you take a volume of neil gaiman's sandman or arkham asylum or something like that, you have a serious work that is interesting and takes a great deal of time to fully read. This HGN was trash by comparisson... piss poor writing. The 4 stories should have been split and sold for a buck each on cheap newspaper -- the art was not good enough in sunrise over mombasa or infinite suc. to warrant hardcover binding and fancy glossy print. I'm a prettttty big comic book fan, and i agree with these guys for the most part. sandman costs you 10 bucks and has 200+ pages of great art and moving stories... this thing is 25 bucks and frankly kinda sucks.
