[BellaAndEdward] ‘Twilight’ exclusive: Graphic novel version on the way!



THANKS TO DAGG INFO

Ok wasn't sure which group, which is a rarity for me. Books cause it's a comic, merch as new merchandise, movie cause it also ties in there.  So here ya go.



'Twilight' exclusive: Graphic novel version on the way!

twilight-manga_l[1]For those of you who can't get enough Edward and Bella, EW can announce — exclusively — that Yen Press will be publ ishing Twilight in graphic-novel form, publication date still to be determined. Though Korean artist Young Kim is creating the art, Meyer herself is deeply immersed in the project, reviewing every panel.
Take a close look at the biology-class sketch we've obtained (that's an empty dialogue bubble between their heads, if you're wondering). What's interesting to me is that it doesn't look simply like an artist's rendering of Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson. In fact, the characters seem to be an amalgam of Meyer's literary imagination and the actors' actual looks. The description of Edward from biology class: "His dazzling face was friendly; open, a slight smile on his flawless lips. But his eyes were cautious." And Bella: "I was ivory-skinned …. I had always been slender, but soft somehow, obviously not an athlete…" To me, this graphic-novel Bella seems much closer to me to Meyer's book than to Stewart's sultry portrayal. The Edward shown is closer to Pattinson, but not a real duplicate; there's something very winning in the sketch that I don't see in Pattinson's all-too-perfect tousled bronze locks and piercing eyes.
What do you think? If you'd like to see more before weighing in, pick up a copy of EW magazine, which will hit newsstands on Friday, July 17 — it contains finished illustrations of Edward, Bella, and Jacob.
