Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1 (Twilight: The Graphic Novel, #1)

So.. I've read all of Twilight, and I've seen the first movie. Somehow it kept me reading, even though I hate the whole idea of it. So she must be doing _something_ right.
Originally we thought maybe we'd review the graphic novel for Triple Take, but we've decided against it. Still, reading this did satisfy my curiosity.
So, basically, it's the story of Twilight, told in graphic novel form. If you're looking for something new, or a new creator's take on things, you're not going to get it here.
It's very pretty though. Especially the cover image. The artists uses the color scheme from the movies. All sort of dark greys and things, and then bright splashes of red (blood) or other bits of color where it's striking. Wolfy browns, for instance.
If you want to know the story of Twilight without having to read the original, and without having to sit through a 2 hour movie, this is the way to do it.
Unfortunately, this is only volume 1. So if you want the complete story, you'll have to wait for the next one. Hopefully it's only 2 volumes. Though of course they very well might go on and on with the next books and the 'novella' if they'd like to cash in some more.
In short: If you must read Twilight, this is the way to do it. The pretty won't overcome the bad plot and bad everything else though.

I doubt there's much question they'll do all of them. Though I'm willing to bet that a lot of the complaints they'll get are Edward doesn't look enough like Robert Pattinson~~~~~~~!
