'Twilight' manga coming from Yen Press
Yes, a manga version of the monster hit is coming. Entertainment Weekly has the scoop: Yen Press will be publishing Twilight in graphic-novel form, publication date still to be determined. Though Korean artist Young Kim is creating the art, Stephenie Meyer herself is deeply immersed in the project, reviewing every panel.
More illustrations will be in the EW issue hitting the stands this Friday.
What does this mean for comics? Well, it's probably going to be the best selling comic book of whatever year it comes out. By far. Remember, one of every seven books sold in America in the first quarter this year was Twilight or a sequel.

I KNEW IT!! My wife started reading these novels, and she would tell me about it every morning.Well, when she didnt, I'd ask her "WHAT'S GOING ON W/BELLA?". I became so interested, that I began to read the stories. And the story is GREAT! S.Meyer writes most excellent, she paints the pictures in your head, developes the characters so well, you actually believe for a moment that they(VAMPIRES/WEREWOLVES) exist! It's not that cliche, hollywood "OH NO THE SUN! NOT THE WOODEN STEAK & GARLIC!" or "THE MOON...IT'S FULL, GRAB A SILVER BULLET!" stuff. And there is so many details w/ character's that comics would do a great job explaining. I LOVE ME SOME COMICS! So now my wife can appreciate them soon as well!! AND YEAH, OF COURSE MY "MANLY" FRIENDS TEASED ME (even at 34 yrs. old) ABOUT READING A "GIRLS #%!* LOVE STORY", BUT I'M SECURE W/ MY MANHOOD..& THERE IS A REASON IT'S POPULAR...CUZ IT'S GOOD! PLUS, I GOT A WIFE, MAYBE IF THEY READ IT (plus some comics, of course) they could actually have something to talk about with women :)

It'z 'bout time, my wife has been reading these novels,& would tell me about it, it got to be where I'd bee asking her "What' happening now?". So I started reading them. It's well written,and seems as real as you could get, If they did live (vampires/werewolfs) Not the "OH NO!! THE SUN! I'M BURNING!" OR "STAKE THRU THE HEART , FULL MOON, SILVER BULLET CLICHE". Great story/character development. I'm a BIG COMIC FAN, & I always said "It's BOUND to be a comic", there are so many side stories for all the characters, (except for Bella..in my opinion, not my wife's.) Now she can read some of My Books/ Graphic Novels. My guy friends , make fun of me for reading "girl" book, love stories, (THAT'S OKAY, I'M SECURE W/MY MANHOOD", BUT BET, THEY'LL SNEAK A PEAK AT THIS COMIC!!) I hope it's written as well as the books! DELTA OUT!!

Truly sorry to say... "Vampires" that SPARKLE like DIAMONDS in sunlight? Epic friggin' fail. They should rename the series "The (not so) Teenaged Adventures of Draculight".
