AFTER: The Graphic Novel (Volume One)

Product Information

Lo entiendo, el libro tiene como 500 páginas y la novela gráfica no llega ni a las 200 entonces se que es complicado poner todo, se tienen que hacer cambios o en definitiva se tienen que eliminar peroooo a que costó?? Visually stunning and bold in its storytelling, The Incal was a product of the 80s — which just might explain its sheer bombast. But rest assured, it’s just as much of a delight today. On an earth-like world called Abode where two moons hang in the sky, humans must live alongside elves. These mysterious beings were descended from an advanced alien civilization called the High Ones. But by the time Elfquest begins, they’ve left their spacefaring ways far behind, splitting off into several, culturally distinct tribes. Just like the Marvel Universe is the primary story universe of Marvel Comics, the DC Universe is the primary universe of DC Comics — where the canon stories of characters like Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman take place. All Star was a DC Comics imprint that ran from 2005-2008, with the goal of providing acclaimed writers and artists with the opportunity to reinterpret the stories of popular DC characters for a modern audience. All-Star Superman is a twelve-issue comic book series that does exactly that. As DC claimed, the book “strip[s] down the Man of Steel to his timeless, essential elements.” If you’re looking to see Superman reimagined for a 21st century audience, look no further than here!

So why would you want to read such a bleak tale? Well, Small’s retrospective is ultimately an exploration of humanity’s ability to survive and thrive under even the most dire of circumstances. You will flinch at Small’s upbringing, but you will also root for him as he goes about reclaiming himself outside of the destructive influence of his family.The birthplace of the famous line “Remember, remember the fifth of November...", V for Vendetta is a dystopian post-apocalyptic series that takes place in a frighteningly familiar alternate version of the United Kingdom. Specifically, the setting of Alan Moore’s iconic graphic novel is a world that has been ravaged by nuclear war. The U.K. has become a police state run by the neo-fascist Norsefire Party, who rule with an iron fist that’s intent on squeezing out any drop of individuality of its citizens. What follows is a sweetly-rendered account of Maggie and Erin’s budding relationship, and the self-discovery and social fallout that accompany their newfound feelings. Honor Girl tells a universally recognizable story of what it feels like to be fifteen — the shifting perspectives, the innocence lending way to maturity, the act of tumbling headfirst into a first love — while wrapping it in the nostalgic pull of summer and sunshine. Hard-boiled noir meets vintage space opera in this wry French genre-bender, where maximalist art drenched in sunny yellows captures a cynical, dystopian world. For struggling PI John Difool, things could be better. He’s somehow come into possession of a mystical artifact called the Incal, and now his life seems perpetually at risk. Corrupt bureaucrats and cultic terrorists alike seem determined to get their hands on it — even if that means tossing Difool into a lake of acid. It was definitely a very detailed process and I didn't really know in the beginning how it would go, especially because the original text was coming from France. So then we translated it and then kind of overhauled the words because we were like, "Okay, this works in the French translation, but for the U.S. [it doesn't work]." So the more hands that were on, the more hands-on I became. I pretty much rewrote all of the text, and it was fun, but definitely challenging because there's just so much inner monologue with the characters, especially in the first After, it's just from Tessa's point of view. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: A Graphic Novel: A Modern Retelling of Little Women by Ray Terciero and Bre Indigo

In Giant Days, three women become fast friends within the first weeks of university. Daisy is the naive homeschooler, Esther the goth, and Susan the sensible tomboy. Or at least, that’s who they were before they entered the terrifying world of adult-ish life. They encounter enemies (including a gaggle of private school girls), fall in and out of love, and attempt to reinvent themselves — you know, the way every teenager wants to when they leave home. A refreshing look at college life through a predominantly female cast, Allison’s consistently hilarious, Eisner-winning comic can now be enjoyed in 14 collected volumes. Since we've talked so much about how much fun you had working on this graphic novel, does this mean that there are going to be more graphic novels from you outside of the After series? Either from you directly or from Frayed Books? Jarrett Krosoczka didn’t grow up in the Typical American Family with a mom and a dad, two siblings, and a dog. Instead, he had his grandparents, a heroin-addicted mother often in rehab, and no sign of his father. In France, young Clémentine is struggling to understand her sexuality until a chance encounter with a blue-haired woman changes everything. As we know, the course of true love never did run smooth. But with the help of Emma (the blue one) — our heroine begins to feel out her place as a gay woman — and what that means for her familial relationships and political leanings. So far, Blue is the Warmest Color is the only graphic novel to have inspired a Palm d’Or-winning film at the Cannes Festival — though we’re holding out hope for a bonkers Naruto adaption from Takeshi Miike!

Tessa siempre ha sido una chica modélica: no se mete en líos, tiene una relación estable con el chico idea, saca buenas notas… vamos, que no hay nada que reprocharle. Ahora va a empezar la universidad y es ahí cuando se cruzará con Hardin, el típico chico malo que es un grosero y que, sin embargo, despierta muchas pasiones a su alrededor. No importa que ambos sean polos opuestos, ya que eso no les impedirá que surja algo fuerte entre ellos. There are certain things that when I, especially now, where everything's just different than when I first started writing and the content I was consuming was different, but I don't ever really tweak anything for critics. Because, here's the thing, as much as it's frustrating to have a 1,000 people on the internet cuss you out about fictional characters [laughs], I do really want to create controversial stories. I don't want to tell the story of a perfect girl, perfect boy who meet each other, they hang out, then everything's great, the end. What is life without complication? And people are complicated. But mere numbers can’t capture the heart and humor of this series, which tells the enduring story of Monkey D. Luffy, a young man who sets out in search of “One Piece” — the world’s greatest treasure. But he can hardly succeed on the wild seas without a hardy crew (and a found family), right? To put it simply, this is an absolute must-read for all manga fans. Try it once, and you’ll see why multiple generations call One Piece home and keep returning to Luffy, Nami, Usopp, and Nico Robin over and over again.

My biggest problem with the book was the terrible, abusive relationship between Tessa and Hardin though. My main thought while reading was "run, Tessa, run". Their relationship was incredibly toxic and the worst part was that Tessa (Teresa?) knew that and still wanted Hardin. He was the absolute worst and I hated everything about him. Updated daily with news, fandom features, and a blog; free manga, art and wallpaper, an interactive art gallery for registered users, and loads of fun quizzes from favorite anime like, "What character are you?"

Young Adult Graphic Novels

If you enjoyed that particularly dark and gritty take on the Joker’s descent into madness, you will surely also enjoy Batman: The Killing Joke, as it provided the foundation for writer/director Todd Phillips’ film adaptation. The graphic novel is considered the definitive Joker origin story, one which also starts with an engineer who quits his job at a chemical company to pursue his dream of becoming a stand-up comedian — only to fail miserably. After reaching his breaking point and turning into the Joker we know today, he sets out on a mission to prove that all humans can be pushed to their mental breaking point and turn into a lawless killer just like him. And in this story, he’s set his sights on Commissioner Gordon as the subject of his social experiment. I'm honestly more of a Webtoons fan. I read a lot of Webtoons. I haven't read a lot of graphic novels before. Lore Olympus, I've recently in the last year read. Well, I read the Webtoon first, but then when it was published this year - or last year, wow, time flew [laughs] - I ate it up, it's so good, so original! But honestly, I'm more of a Webtoons person than a graphic novel person. Russian-American teenager Anya wants nothing more than to fit in with her peers. You wouldn’t think having a poltergeist pal would help her out there — but lo and behold, when Anya meets the ghost of the long-dead Emily, she finds a new confidante and style consultant. Yet Anya has no idea what she’s gotten herself into, and as Emily reveals more about herself and how she died, it becomes increasingly clear that this isn’t a one-way street… and that Anya may not be able to hold up her end of the bargain. With shades of Tim Burton and Meg Cabot alike, Anya’s Ghost is most definitely a creepy classic in the making.
