Graphic Novel and Manga?

[Clary Slay]

What do you all think of the news about the City of Bones graphic novel that's to be released later on in 2012?
I read about this on the TMIsource.
I, honestly, cannot stand reading graphic novels that come out AFTER a book. The artwork usually ruins everything for me. And the sketches that were released are honestly nothing like what I would have imagined. Jace looks like he's 25 years old.

There is also news that The Infernal Devices is going to be made into a Manga. I enjoy those a bit more than graphic novels, but I'm still not particularly excited about it. I think it's funny that TID is going to be a Manga, instead of a graphic novel. I mean, if you consider Jem's heritage, it's quite a coincidence.

Due to my love for both TMI and TID, I will keep an open mind when these come out. Don't knock it 'til you try it, eh?
Plus, TMI and TID are the exceptions to everything in my life.

I hate graphic novels!
It kills our imagination of the characters!
But then again so do movies so... yah.

[Clary Slay]

True.
But I enjoy movies, if they're done nicely.
About 99% of the time, I don't enjoy graphic novels. I just feel like TMI isn't the type of story that should be made into a graphic novel. It's too in depth to be some sort of comic.

[finnicklover]

I hate is when they show through a graphic novel someones death.
It looks weird in my opinion

[Clary Slay]

Imagine those erm...passionate scenes in CoFA being put in a graphic novel.
It just wouldn't work hahah.

[finnicklover]

Oh yeah.
Especially in the city of Fallen Angels

[Clary Slay]

Hahaha I'm laughing just thinking about it.
But it's also awkward. Lol hopefully the first graphic novel is so unpopular that they decide to stop making them and quit the idea.
;D

[finnicklover]

Yes I hope so!
I hope they don't make magnus look like a total fool

[Clary Slay]

Ugh I love Magnus so much. There's just no way they can make him look all crazy or I'll.... I'll do something crazy.
Hahah I want them to really go through with the "possible TID movies" thing, because I want to see Magnus back in that time period.
Oh my gosh, I can't even imagine...
Too perfect, my friend. Too perfect.

[finnicklover]

Magnus is omg. I'm so sad he's gay but I like him gay? It just completes him! I love in TID when he kisses Will! I was like
I rekon Will and Magnus should have a relationship! But no-one else agrees D:

[Clary Slay]

Hm, I don't know about Will/Magnus.
Only because Will looks so much like Alec, it would make me think that Magnus only likes Alec now because of his feelings for Will back then.
There are some weird connections with Will and Alec and everyone between the two series...
I just want all of the answers nowww D:

[finnicklover]

Same.
The next book must come out!
And so many people hate jem.
I Really like him!

[Clary Slay]

I love Jem!
I prefer him over Will.
