Reuters piece on the rise of the graphic novel. Old news, really, but its nice to see GN's get some recognition. Buying a GN sure beats running to the comic store every couple of weeks for the monthlies, which are often not worth the price. If it was up to me, the monthlies would be discontinued and comics would be treated just like books: published dates, reviews, etc instead of classic monthly serial format. Then we can finally drop the "comic" word. What's so funny about a genre that's 90% science fiction anyway? But Vertigo Executive Editor Karen Berger had no such scruples, describing her target audience as "smart, hip, literate, into pop culture, into reading, into film, people who are just into cool contemporary fiction."
