graphic novels challenge

I love this challenge.  I love going out of my way to find graphic novels and all the different types there are.  You're not just finding different genres of graphics to read, but you're discovering different artist types and it's so damn interesting.

This year they've added a new twist to the challenge where you read 1 or 2 books from each category they provide.  I have to admit I'm not as prolific in the graphics world to feel I'm up to this one so I'm just going to go with the Level 2 Basic and I'm going to try really hard to review each and every one I read!

You can find the challenge at the Graphic Novels Challenge blog and you can sign up here.  Once again, the lovely Nicola is hosting!
