Graphic Novel News

One of the key areas of the library's teen and young adult collection are our graphic novels, which are collected stories featuring animated characters. (For example, 6 issues of a Spiderman comic may be issued together in a graphic novel format when the story is complete so that it can be read in one sitting.) Other graphic novels can be independently created.

The content of graphic novels is sometimes controversial, dealing with challenging and tough themes.

A post this morning on Yahoo! News shows that a new controversy may be brewing over a new graphic novel coming out soon featuring Batman. Read the article, and let us know what you think. Would you read this graphic novel? Why or why not?
