Graphic novels don’t always get the respect they deserve.  Although I’m fairly new to the world of graphic novels, I have been so impressed by the high quality of language and vocabulary in this format.  And all the nuances of the visual cues are so wonderful for understanding and connecting with characters and story in a way that novels don’t always have access to.  Graphic novels are a wonderful way to pull in reluctant readers, but they also hold their own for any reader, and I’m looking forward to exploring more in the graphic novel world!
