Twilight Graphic Novel First Photos

We here at Hollywood Dame are not above sucking the ‘Twilight’ teet dry. So, for all you Twihards out there, here is your first look at “Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1.”

Set to hit stores March 16, the graphic novel, which was drawn adapted by Young Kim, stays true to the story of mortal Bella and her sparkling vampire love, Edward.

Entertainment Weekly scored an interview with ‘Twilight’ author, Stephenie Meyer and got her thoughts and feelings on the new graphic piece.

Via Entertainment Weekly:

How does the feeling of reading the graphic novel compare to that of reading the original? Does it bring something new to the experience for you?

“For me, it takes me back to the days when I was writing Twilight. It’s been a while since I was really able to read Twilight; there is so much baggage attached to that book for me now. It seems like all I can see are the mistakes in the writing. Reading Young’s version brought me back to the feeling I had when I was writing and it was just me and the characters again. I love that. I thank her for it.”

When this project is done, are you done with Twilight?

“I can’t say that I am done with Twilight forever. I’m not working on anything new Twilight-related now, and probably not for a while. But there’s still a possibility that I’ll go back and close some of the open doors.”

I’m sorry Twi-kittens, but I am old school. When I hear the word graphic, I fully expect sweat and extensive nudity. I am slightly disappointed.

6 Watchmen EW covers!

Now I am not the biggest ‘graphic novel’ fan, but “The Watchmen” just looks so slick. I mean, have you seen the trailer, where ‘the Comdian’ is thrown out the window in slow motion? That’s hawt. And mean in a stylistic way. And now, to continue its amazing advertising campaign, there are going to be for Entertainment Weekly. Different copies of the magazine feature Rorschach, the Comedian, Dr. Manhattan, Silk Spectre, Nite Owl, and Ozymandias. If you follow this link, you can order the different covers over the internet. I personally like the Comedian one the best, he’s just so bada$$!!

“The Watchmen” is due out in mere weeks–March 6th to be exact. It is about an alternate 1985, where Nixon is still president and tension between the United States and the Soviet Union are still going strong. Vigilante Rorschach investigates the murder of a former hero and uncovers a plot to discredit and murder various heroes. It stars a gammut of people: Billy Crudup as Dr. Jon Osterman / Doctor Manhattan; Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Edward Blake / The Comedian; Malin Akerman as Laurie Juspeczyk / Silk Spectre II; Patrick Wilson as Daniel Dreiberg / Nite Owl II and Jackie Earle Haley as Walter Kovacs / Rorschach. It is directed by Zack Snyder, who directed “300“.

All I have to say is that “The Watchmen” looks as visually stunning as “300″ and it has a really cool plot. But will all the die-hard fans be able to handle this adaptation? Do I really care?? I just like shiny, pretty films!
