I doubt that anyone on GoodReads actually cares about my opinion but the Internet allows me to write something anyway.
I don't know if I want to read this book. In some ways it would be cool, but under the same ideology (right word?) as the movie, I don't want to have my "image" of Clary and Jace (and all the others) ruined. I want to see them how I see them. Yet I cannot help but be curious about how this will turn out. I mean, it might even be (God forbid I say this) good.

Two things to say:
1. What is with this trend of making graphic novels out of books that just really need to be left alone to fester. (Not saying that about TMI. /COUGH/hushhushtwilight/COUGH/
2. Who the hell are those people on the cover, because they certainly aren't my Clary and Jace. Honestly, they look like Steve Irwin and whatever the heck his wife is named.

Here I was all angry that the COB graphic novel was only going to be a digital release, that is until I came across this: http://books.simonandschuster.com/Cit...
Looks like it'll be published by S&S in hardcover/paperback format next year. It seems they are aiming to release it around the same time the movie is set to hit theatres (August 2013). Good news for me considering I LOVE graphic novels and equally adore The Mortal Instruments series =D

WHAT?! That's it?! Only 20 something pages?! And it stopped in the scene where there's an attack in Clary's house. WTF. >:(
Too short! Will there be a next volume or something? I wonder. Sigh.

Alucinante!!!un grandioso trabajo de adaptación al cómic de la novela que tanto nos hace soñar y sufrir a partes iguales.
Ansiosa por tener el siguiente vol.
Ojalá lo saquen en papel.

The real question is: why is there a trend of turning YA novels (and ASOIAF) into graphic novels? Are illustrators hoping this will make people look at other, better graphic novels (like Watchmen, Batman: Year One, etc.)? I feel like the people who will read these will only read the comic version of their beloved YA series and those of us who genuinely enjoy graphic novels as a medium will continue to read the plentiful graphic novels out there.

wait... when is it coming out... I thought it was in May but it says September here and I'm so confused...
LOVE the graphic novel! Very well done--brings the series to life in a visual way.

Why does Jace look so weird?
Who likes graphic novels made by the book it's a read for fans only. Not for me. Drawing are lousy and it's just informative but it may push you away from a book if you didn't read it.

I absolutely ADORE the idea of CoB becoming a graphic novel, BUT...Why must Jace's hair look like that!! I'm sorry but he reminds me of that kid that shows up every once in the while in the Venture Brothers show:
Urgh!!I hope he gets a hair cut, or SOMETHING!!
At least everybody else looks great :)

Hmm, I'm not that excited. Art isn't my fav.
It was cool to see Jace and Clary drawn versus in my mind. The graphic novel ended way to quickly but I guess that's how they work.

I read the first 8 pages in a sampler sent from the publisher. Not impressed with the art. It makes the story seem less cool.
Artwork: 5 out of 5
Story: .5 out of 5
2 stars was being generous.
It's pretty to look at, but not worth trying to read.

Jace looked at him a little oddly. "You alright?”
“We have a name," said Jace. "Magnes B-"
"Shut up." Alec hissed, thwacking Jace with his closed menu. Jace looked injured.
"Jesus," he rubbed his arm. "What's your problem?”
