Listen: Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut's most famous work had been adapted into a graphic novel by Ryan North and Albert Monteys. I've read a few comic adaptations of famous novels before, and none of them fit into the medium quite as well as this one does. It begins with a Billy Pilgrim becoming unstuck in time, and ends with a bird saying "Poo-tee-weet?". Let's get into it!
SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE STORYTIME
I'm probably gonna hate this. Let the pain commence, I'm willing to be surprised.
Oh boy, I hope this is as good as the Classics Illustrated collection
prepare to be surprised, it's really really good
I mean is it though? It feels like something those keyfabe faggots would like. I'm a big fan of the original book is there any rewriting or recontextualizing at all?
Good point. If I don't like a person, then I have to force myself to dislike all the comics which that person likes.
Jesus Christ this is atrocious. Cookes parker is really the gold standard for adaptations to me. That French dude who did moby dick as well.
Sadly someone will like this. Why play so fast and loose with it?
you might just have bad taste user
No, the only person with bad taste is the author who couldn't just 1-to-1 a fucking classic.
The novel sucks too. I refused to read it in english class and when my teacher asked why I said "I'm 12 pages in and I hate it." I was his best student so he just went "Aight that's fair" so I took the F for that paper.
Is this a gag to posit me as a contrarian or over-reactionary? You not liking one of the best American novels (though not his own best) isn't the same at all. You're a semi-retarded contrarian who still covets the easiness of grade-school. I just want these faggots culture vulture creators to fuck off from the medium.
Oh God, I admit I couldn't make sense of this book when I was 18 and in my first foray into college. I had to do a book report about it, which made much as wrestling a honey badger with only a diaphragm
It's only when I got older is that I got a full comprehension of the book
Seems more like you were a mess of a person and should revisit the book now that you've grown and settled down.
>Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut's most famous work had been adapted into a graphic novel
... Why?
>Why play so fast and loose with it?
The point of an adaptation is to provide an experience which is different from the original. The original already exists, so if an adaption is aiming to recreate the experience of the original, then the adaptation has no reason to exist.
>I just want these faggots culture vulture creators to fuck off from the medium.
Me too. Its demoralizing how we get half as many original stories anymore. I just wanted to blogpost about how I didn't like the book. Its just not a good book.
Also you type all gay and retarded - this has nothing to do with you being contrarian. It has nothing to do with you at all.
