The Last of the Cybils Graphic Novels

Nothing to write home about, really.

Frankie Pickle and the Closet of Doom doesn’t even feel like a graphic novel to me. It’s more children’s chapter book and add some comic style dryings every now and then. And I really didn’t enjoy the story very much either.

The other two are YA graphic novels, not children’s graphic novels. Outlaw: The Legend of Robin Hood was pretty darn good if you like Robin Hood but boy was it dark. And there were a few attempts to update the language that I thought were kind of lame. But, it wasn’t horrid. I guess I have a similar reaction to Edgar Allen Poe’s Tales of Death and Dementia. I like Poe but I felt the like the graphics softened it up, lightened it up – it wasn’t nearly as dark as it should have been. I don’t want to laugh at the end of The Telltale Heart, do you?

I’m sad to be finished with the graphic novels. I think last year’s nominees were better. This year … I’d like to see the Secret Science Alliance and Gunnerkrigg Court win.
