As a comic reader and a librarian, the most important thing to me is knowing where in a storyline a graphic novel falls (if it is part of a storyline) but mostly what issues it contains. I’d be great to note what other GNs that are part of the same storyline are coming out soon, too.
This is a wonderful addition to your already special collection which I adore and enjoy. Graphic novels have an appeal for the youth and many patrons.
We’re so excited for this new edition! Our library is trying to bulk up its graphic novel collection, so this will be a welcome addition.
Accurate age-range information would be a huge help. Our library, like many others, has the ability to separate forms of fiction by the intended audience. We do the same with graphic novels, but it becomes difficult when an “all ages” title turns out to have content that makes parents faint dead away, like the infamous “Pepper Potts wears thong underwear to work” story in Iron Man.
Graphic novels fly off the shelves at my library. Superhero GN particularly, they don’t need promotion at all and tend to circulate constantly.
Graphic novels are a happy medium between what is current and yesterdays comics.
