Comics and graphic novels

Hello everyone, 

I apologize for not writing long. I have a lot of obligations lately, so I haven't found time to sit down and write something. I hope that this will change in the future. But let us go back to the topic of this post. Comics and graphic novels.

Until recently, I've almost never read any of them. I have been reading those in daily magazines and various newspapers since I can remember. But I've never bought a comic book or graphic novel, not because I did not want it, but somehow it always felt better to give many for "real" books But when I was in BEOKON last year (if you're interested in my impression how it was, let me know, I will write something about it) and found myself among all these comics and geeks, I simply had to to give them a chance. And I'm so glad i did.

I did not know what I was missing. Experience of reading the story, which is complemented by images, is unforgettable. It is completely different feeling than when reading a book.The comics involve another art except the written word, and it is art. Beautiful pictures complement the story and raise it to a whole other level.That intertwined words and images are a special adventure.

I still haven't  read a lot of them, so I don't have a lot of recommendations, but I'll extract two: 

The first Saga, comic in english, which is for older audience because of the sexual and violent scenes and language. But nonetheless, it is awesome. It takes place in the universe where it is ongoing war between the two races, one with horns, the other with wings. We monitor the fate of a little girl whose mother has wings, but her father has horns , and because of their relationship almost the entire universe want to catch them and kill them. It is about their survival in a world where almost nothing is on their side.

The second is a Lock & key.We follow a family which had tragic fate and that is why they went to the house of their childhood which is not an ordinary house. They call it house of keys and not without reason. I will not say anything more because i think it i best to get into this one without knowing much.

 I hope you liked this post. If you have some comic books or graphic novels to recommend, please feel free to write in comments, I would very much like to hear your suggestions.

See you soon
