*NO Spoilers
I am a HUGE Richelle Mead fan and her Dark Swan series is right up there as one of my favorites EVER! When I heard they were becoming comics I was super excited and when the pub contacted me to review them I freaked LOL.
First of all I have to say that this trend of turning Urban Fantasy series into comics or Graphic novels is awesome! Those tend to be very visual stories and make for amazing graphs.
Storm Born is definitely an great example of that and the images are amazingly done and the the story is very well constructed to both include enough backstory and action to make you not want to put it down.
I was super psyched about seeing Genie and Kyo’s first encounter and was NOT disappointed! Urban Fantasy comics with a side of sexy? YES please!
I thoroughly believe that both Dark Swan fans and newcomers will LOVE these and I totally recommend them! I cannot wait for the next volumes!

I just don't know how I feel about comics or graphic novels made from favorite stories - I am having trouble seeing my favorite characters I have pictured in my mind from the view of the artist :) Thanks for sharing today.

I hadnt noticed LOL
@Denize
I totally get what you're saying... and sometimes I agree hehe =D
Ooo now I have to admit - I love graphic novels. However, I have tried reading graphic novels of the books that I read and I prefer to read them as books. I do love the extra stuff dealing with the books I love - I just guess I like reading graphic novels where all there is is just the graphic novel. I'm not sure if I'm articulating well. I still give a few of them a try. I do like it when they aren't just a retelling of the same story thats in the book - but if they are spin offs or actual extra content. I'll have to check these out once I start this series. The first book is sitting on my waiting to be read shelf. (sorry for the long comment muwhaha)
