Sunday Salon (Graphic Novels)

I’d really like to thank Dewey for bringing attention to graphic novels. I’m really enjoying this genre after reading Maus I and Maus II, and I read three more this week: American Born Chinese, The Arrival, and The Invention of Hugo Cabret (probably technically not a graphic novel, but hard to categorize). I haven’t reviewed the latter three yet (though they’ll get high marks), but I’m impressed with all of the graphic novels I’ve read so far this year, and I definitely plan on reading more even past the challenge.

Have you discovered graphic novels yet? Do you have any you’d recommend?
