2014 Graphic Novel Challenge - Wrap Up

 

I joined the Graphic Novel Challenge this year, hosted on its own page.  I knew I enjoyed graphic novels and wanted to make sure I kept them as a part of my blogging.   You can see my original (and brief) sign up post where I decided to shoot for 24 graphic novels this year.  I definitely reached my goal and then some.

Things I learned from the Challenge:

~ I am not a fan of super hero or dark graphic novels

~ I love retellings and myths

~ If it is an animal graphic novel it must be pretty awesome

~ I am starting to find the style and authors that I enjoy, but still like to try new things

~ I really like anthology graphic novels

~ I like to find unique and lesser known graphic novels

~ I hate the New 52 for putting an end to my favorites!
