Frostbite by Richelle Mead

Please excuse the blurriness because I took the pics with a phone so they're not the best quality. I just wanted to share the Dimka/Adrian love with my co-fans of the lovely, lovely Richelle Mead.

The graphic novel version of VA should only be read by people who have read the full-length print books first, or else you might get confused somewhat about the story because it's very condensed and a few details are skipped around on. But hot damn, these are fun reads if you've already devoured the book series like I did. I'm not complaining about getting to see Dimitri again in comic form. How the artist managed to make a comic book character hot, I don't know. The shirtless pics in book 1 are crazy good. I almost feel awkward for drooling over a drawn image.

Since I'm going to assume the readers have already checked out Frostbite in regular book form, there's no need to review, other than to comment on the art. The graphic novel versions are short summaries of the books with added pictures.

My favorite images are still of Rose and Dimitri. The artist got these the closest to the book description. Adrian and Christian are decent but not as good as R&D. I'm not fond of Lissa, Mia and Mason's artwork but I didn't care because my favorite characters were drawn well.

Why didn't I know before now that Eddie is a blonde?!? All this time, I thought he had dark hair. Color me suprised.

Adrian is now on the scene (switched out with RM'S blog pic because hers wasn't fuzzy like mine)

Rose and her Dimka share a kiss (since you can't see what that says...Rose tells Dimitri, "you still have things to teach me." He responds, "yes, lots of things." I'm pretty sure that's a nice little innuendo not having anything to do with fight training...)

AJ Oh I love Dimitri!!! Even in comic form!


Stacia ~ Mistress of Mediocrity He was drawn flawlessly. I highly recommend the graphics to any fan of the series. They're a lot of fun to look at.

B0nnie These are really nice graphics...my biggest disappointment was the artwork for the Buffy comics - the covers were great, but the story itself had such poor drawings.


Stacia ~ Mistress of Mediocrity If the drawings are off, it does tend to ruin the enjoyment factor.

Katy Ah, the tension in the last pic. I just started shadow kiss and I'm hoping to get more Rose/Dimitri. Like really get some action.


Stacia ~ Mistress of Mediocrity Do you want to know? Shadow Kiss (view spoiler)[should satisfy. (hide spoiler)]

This is your first time reading the series? Please tell me no one has spoiled the end of SK for you. I had it spoiled for me.


Becs - Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews The pics are great Stacia.

Haha yay! And no havent had it spoiled yet :) I saw something when I was checking how many pages it was that caught my eye but I quickly looked away. (You think I'd learn to quit doing that but I always do anyway.)

Stacia ~ Mistress of Mediocrity ooohhh nice. I can't wait to see your reactions to books 3 and 4. Number 4 was my favorite. I'm such a Mead fangirl. She's got to be my favorite author, whether she's writing YA or adult...it doesn't matter, although her adult books have more sex of course. My favorite characters are from VA, although I do love Seth from Georgina Kincaid.


Stacia ~ Mistress of Mediocrity Thanks Becs. Whoever she gets to do her artwork is great. The comic versions of her Dark Swan series are just as good. She really lucked out in the art department.


Jen (The Starry-Eyed Revue) Not a big fan of graphic novels, but I LOVED VA, and the pics you posted make me want to own this. And now I want to re-read the series. :P

Stacia ~ Mistress of Mediocrity I don't usually read graphics either but I will read anything of Mead's!


message 13: by Jenn (new) - rated it 2 stars

Jenn I always think Eddie has dark hair for some reason too.


Stacia ~ Mistress of Mediocrity It's funny how sometimes our minds will stubbornly hold on to a certain image for a character. I'm able to think of him as blonde now because I found an actor who reminds me of Eddie.


message 15: by Anna (new)

Anna looking at the graphics made me a giddy 12 year old.


Stacia ~ Mistress of Mediocrity I was the same way.
