^ That's Sydney on the Bloodlines cover. Bloodlines is a spin-off that doesn't involve Rose (that much).
And her hair looks like my mom's (turning grey), to be honest.

That girl definitely had brown hair. Can you post an image?

Oh, I think that's just the weird effects. The original image definitely had dark hair.

Wait, has it really been confirmed that Ivan was killed by a Strigoi attack? Because if that's left ambiguous, he could have acting out one of these scenes. If he was playing "lover" while drunk, then he could have slipped and fallen. (And on that note, why are they all wearing read shorts?)

Who's Ivan again? Dimitri's friend from St. Basil's. He died before the series started.

Yeah, he was. I don't know why I keep wondering about him.

Yeah, he was. I don't know why I keep wondering about him. Because minor characters give so much oppurtunity for universe expansion?

That said, I want to know about exactly what Mia's been doing all this time. She just gets dropped into the background. And those two bodyguards- I think one of them was Celeste- who were teaching Moroi how to fight. That'd really be interesting.

^ Mia was learning to fight at Court; I think she moved there after Frostbite. She uses her skills against Tasha in Last Sacrifice when Tasha took her hostage.

I saw the preview for the graphic novel, and... I don't really like it. I'm not really a fan of graphic novels in general, but I really don't like the art in this one. Here's the link.

I don't like it either. Rose looks like a pornstar, you know? *rolls eyes* It practically screams 'Sex'.

Yeah, she's described as attractive and all, but Vieceli drew her to look wayyyy too mature for a graphic novel adapted from a YA book.

^ I thought that there was a lot of emphasis on her boobs. And Rose looks like she's constantly squinting instead of simply annoyed or stressed or whatever.

The art looks weird to me. No idea why.
What is with the 'turn popular series into graphic novels' thing anyway? I mean Twilight has a graphic novel. Wicked Lovely does and so does Vampire Acadmey. Why?

Money? Demand? Ehh, either way, I think the VA graphic style is way too mature. It's cool and all, but too... I dunno... sexy? >.<
I just looked at it again and the problem is that Rose has the body of Jessica Rabbit or whatever. You know, great chest and a teeeny waist and then great hips. Like a pinup girl or something. I have a problem with that because NO ONE can look like that in real life and sooo many teenage girls are gonna be reading this and going, 'Why can't *I* look like that!?"
...so my problem is probably the way a lot of the girls in the novel will be drawn and how impossible it will be to really, you know, 'connect' with them.

^ I think it'd be fine if it the art style was more cartoon-y, but you can tell by the faces that it's supposed to be realistic.

I've only seen the Twilight graphic novel breifly, and that was through a friend who thought I'd lke the style, and I thought the art was pretty. At least, it didn't seem to be trying to be too realistic. Sometimes, art can still look realistic while still looking cartoony, like with a fw Batman comics I have. With this, I think the artist was trying to be realistic, whereas with other comics it's just the art is really well done with good anatomy and proportions.

God, I feel so negative when it comes to this thread. I mean, I criticized SB, and I'm bitching about the graphic novel (most of us are, though, aren't we?)...
I'm happy for Richelle and her baby, though (but I can't believe fans think she'd name her boy after Dimitri or Adrian - I mean, WTF?)

Hey, it's a critique site; it's cool that you have things you don't like about a series. And she has a baby? Aw, that's so nice!

I think her due date is inb August or something... coincidence because the graphic novela nd Bloodlines are due out there, too, haha.
I'd totally name my kid Dimitri... but only because I really love the name and it's Russian and I want one of my kids to have a Russian name.

For me, it would be a toss up between Magnus, Toris or Dimitri. Because, fuck it, they're my favourite boys' names.
