Fucks sake, just admit it's a comic, it's okay to read comics if you like that sort fo thing, but don't pretend it's somethingmore than it is.

I don't dislike comics
I've spent the last two days reading about 30 issues of the walking dead comic. But it's a comic, calling it a Graphic Novel is just utter tosh.

Right, so, your problem is not the subject matter itself or the reading thereof
but rather the fact that some people call them one thing and you call them another?

He also says 'potarto'
I suggest that you call the whole thing off.

it's just words
I consider 'comic' to be when they are in installments, 'graphic novel' for when they are all in one compendium. But really, I don't give a fuck and like to call science fiction 'sci-fi' to annoy people

Novels they aren't.

He's not saying that.
Just asking that comics are referred to as comics. They aren't novels.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 2 Jan 2013, 12:56, Reply)

No, they're GRAPHIC novels
The clue is in the word "graphic", which you don't see associated with novels, unless they're graphic novels.

HTH.

No, they are comics.
Utilising a pictorial style rather than a prose one.

HTH xx

Not to mention that you lose the structure and depth of the prose form.
