things come to life in front of you.

little bit and experience a story in a different way.

recent trend in graphic novels is to continue stories that
may have been unfinished for some fans.

THE PRICE, we all agree that graphic novels nowadays are

expensive. It is because of its quality and also the author's
popularity.
THE LENGTH, readers will experience boredom and loss of
excitement.

novels there is very little room for interpretation. Sometimes
this can be a great thing, but mostly it can make it more
difficult to fully visualize everything in your head.
