As I mentioned in the other blogs, I have talked about Artemis Fowl, the teenage genius. This is the first book turned into a graphic novel.
In this book, Holly Short, the first female LEPrecon officer in all of history, is captured by Artemis Fowl and charged for fairy gold. As Butler, Artemis, and Juliet, Butler's sister go argue between the fairies and Commander Root (otherwise known as Beetroot with his comrades at the LEPrecon office) the price of Holly Short, Mulch Diggums, the dwarf criminal who has spend the last three hundred years going in and out of prison, as gone into Artemis' safety box and took The Book. The Book is the fairy bible and contains all the fairy people's rules, laws, and weaknesses. However, it is written cleverly in Gnomish, which no human can decode. No ordinary human anyway. Artemis, this tricky genius criminal, has decoded it. What has Artemis started by clashing the fairy and people world together when the fairies have worked so hard to keep it apart? Read the beginning of the amazing adventures of Artemis and Captain Short!
About this series, though, I believe that you should read the book before before you read the graphic novel because if you read the comic first, it gives you the pictures of the people, but in the novel, you can imagine what they look like, first. For one, I did not think that Artemis Fowl would look like that I definitely not that about Holly either. I also didn't think that Juliet was so small compared to Butler. I am not saying that the book didn't have good descriptions, but that the people who drew it must have thought of them in ways that I didn't. Therefore, I think it's good to test your imagination first. See how close you get.
I recommend this book to people who love the Percy Jackson series and the Harry Potter ones as well. Eoin Colfer wrote a novel fit for pictures and words!
***It give this graphic novel a 9 out of 10. Be sure to read the book first!***
