When I was a kiddo I got burned out on Archie comic books that I was given for free. <br /><br />I voraciously read horse books, novels and non-fiction, and other fiction.non-fiction books. Until my sister gave me one of those early romance novellas. Then it was off to the romance-novel races. <br /><br />Thanks for the info. That makes total sense to me now. Of course, your hair always grows a foot when in engaged in physical pleasures... ~grins~ Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-7116783069360321702013-05-25T11:55:12.968-05:002013-05-25T11:55:12.968-05:00It's done with long shots, extreme close-ups o...It's done with long shots, extreme close-ups of faces, strategically extended limbs, artfully-cast shadows, objects in the foreground, etc. Like a soft-core porn movie, but even cleaner. You actually see more body parts in superhero comics (those costumes are skintight, remember).<br /><br />Ever notice how whenever a woman in a comic book gets naked, her hair automatically grows at least a foot?Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531462055912377327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-14534466898464238332013-05-24T19:05:48.981-05:002013-05-24T19:05:48.981-05:00GN interesting.

I suppose I'd have to buy the Buffy gets nekkid comic to see how the heck they picture that without the obvious. <br /><br />I liked Angel even more in his series, and yeah, I liked Faith too.

After a story arc wraps up (about 4-6 issues) the issues are collected in a trade paperback for resale in bookstores. These are the "graphic novels" people talk about. There are also graphic novels that are a single original story and never appeared in monthly installments. The Once Upon a Time GN is going to be one of those.<br /><br />There already are a couple Supernatural GNs out there, collections of miniseries. They all take place before the series starts -- when the boys were kids, John was still around, Sam was in college, etc. In short, no Castiel. Maybe they did it that way to avoid conflicts with the series.<br /><br />If I were you, I'd preview Buffy Season 8. There's one issue toward the end where Buffy and (name withheld to prevent spoilers) get nekkid and do the Tube Snake Boogie for practically the whole issue. You can't really see anything, but it's obvious what's going on. So far Season 9 hasn't had any onstage sex.<br /><br />I also think the Angel and Faith series is even better than the Buffy series, and I wasn't even that wild about either of those characters on TV. (Name once again withheld) got killed at the end of Season 8, and Angel's trying to bring him back. But is that really such a good idea?Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531462055912377327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-3172526529277085092013-05-24T10:43:47.238-05:002013-05-24T10:43:47.238-05:00Okay, wow...I didn't realize some of these gra...Okay, wow...I didn't realize some of these graphic novels were actually continuations to the show. I'll have to look into the Buffy one for Darling Diva. She loved that show, but I'm best make sure the GN is appropriate for her age. <br /><br />It's funny, I started reading romance novels at about the age she is now and yes there was sex in them, but just not the same. I just finished a BDSM novel and honestly, I can't imagine what I would have thought of it at 13. <br /><br />I've seem some GN that are the same - sexy, but more. LKH's Anita Blake has a GN, I can picture that baby! Drool worthy and a must get for me at some point, but 13 appropriate...probably not! ;)<br /><br />I bet down the road we see a Supernatural one...if it's not out now. That would be a must buy for me as well...Yum!Serena Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959664736807639363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-4736411239522603592013-05-24T02:55:47.931-05:002013-05-24T02:55:47.931-05:00Hey, Pat, good points about continuing the season ...Hey, Pat, good points about continuing the season with a Buffy graphic novel. Is it a graphic novel? At least, that's what I heard it called way back at the time. <br /><br />Yeah, dumping the commercials would be grand. I have to admit I like action scenes on screen, though. <br /><br />Apologies for the late visit. Like I said at SS, I only got a couple of hours of sleep... crashed for another couple this afternoon... and the mind fog finally lifted. <br /><br />Loved this post. I always learn so much from you.
