The year 2009 was the year that I bought my first graphic novel - and this was the last I read last year.

Unfortunately, it meant I left the year on a bit of a downer.

I’m not sure exactly what it was that meant I didn’t enjoy this as much as the others, there as just something that didn’t quite catch my attention.  It’s not particularly bad, it’s just not particularly good either!  In my opinion obviously…

My second graphic novel after Watchmen earlier in the year and I think I could really get to like these!

My biggest gripe is that, compared to a “normal” book, they aren’t as good value for money from a longevity point of view. Of course the time that has gone into not only developing the story but also bringing it to life in the illustrations can’t be questioned and as a bit of a change from the norm, they also provide welcome relief.
