Not sure if this should go in a different place, but I've put it here for now.
Yikes!

Well.. this is different! I think I may be tempted to buy - the artwork does look great!
Who would have thought that Jane Austen would have spawned such a mini-industry? There are sequels, prequels, spin-offs, movies, mini-series and now comics and I have even heard that there is a P&P zombie movie in the works

The art is OK. I've seen better. I've seen worse. This is interesting and I would say its a gamble. The US industry is mostly superheroes so the idea that they would do this, a very female book, is shocking. I wonder what they're trying to do? Are they trying to get more female readers because so many of them have turned away from comics and have gone to manga? hmm.

Comic books appear to be pretty popular right now. There are a number of books that are being converted (mostly in fantasy or urban fantasy) but there are other books, like Outlander for example where there is a graphic novel being made featuring the characters from a long running and successful series.

It might be popular but the industry is just doing OK. It hasn't hit that high since the 90s. I know Anita Blake was out for a while and Stephen King has a book. Tamara Pierce was also going to write something a few years back. Though I forgot what that was.
I'm not against it, its just weird.
