graphic novels

Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Hamlet, Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet are being rendered in manga and will be released next month by John Wiley and Sons. The bard’s greatest hits will "combine the stunning effects of manga while remaining true to the original context," says project developer Adam Sexton.

"Thousands of artists, writers, film-makers, poets and illustrators craft impressive creative works and share them freely online, in the interests of making their work accessible to as many people as possible. We thank them for that.

Each link will take you to a page where you can download or view a high quality graphic novel or excerpt freely and with no strings attached."

Bookgasm is a blog that highlights "guilty pleasure" reading. It covers thrillers, science fiction, mysteries, and graphic novels. It's a little heavy on the graphic novels for me, but it does a great job of highlighting great but not #1 best selling authors. They have a number of bloggers, so there's usually a post or two a day; enough to keep anyone who reads any of those genres intrigued.
