I used to skip over graphic novels a lot, but for some reason I really got into them. It started with Spill Zone by Scott Westerfeld. I went into that thinking that there was no way I was going to enjoy something like that, but I absolutely loved it, and I”ve been hooked on graphic novels since. I”ve heard really good things about the Lunar Chronicles graphic novels!
