mary shelley's gothic horror story - frankenstein - was first published in 1818 and has been the inspiration behind numerous stage productions and films - many of which strayed a long way away from her original masterpiece. classical comics presenting a full - color graphic novel remains true to this classic tale, bringing the original story to life which has never been created before.
this graphic novel is available in two versions : original text and quick text editions. the original text stays faithful to shelley's original text, while the quick text brings the story up to date by presenting the text into a more simplified style so that the tale is accessible to all readers.
the quick text edition will allow you to soak up a general feeling for the characters and locations, while the original text version will help you easily slip into the language in which the novel was written.
even if you're not studying the original, this graphic novel is worth buying. it's a great story, and should be one that everyone has the chance to read. now, thanks to this release, even those who don't particularly like to read too much are given the chance to find this tale and hopefully it may encourage them to search out the original book too.
as with previous classical comics, the presentation is first class. the best grade glossy paper really helps to set this graphic novel head and shoulders above the usual comic book releases on the market. not only that, you also get a pretty comprehensive biography of shelley; mary shelley's family tree; a feature that explains what life was like in the year of the book's release; and a brief look on how frankenstein has been adapted to many different formats over the years.

2012 film review
2012 is roland emnerich's film which uses the mayan calender and other end-of-days prophecies for their doomsday sceanrio. it imagines the world coming to an end in 2012.
2012 film brings off a series of wonders. the movie hits its peak early on. it starts when cusack drives a limo though the streets of los angeles as freeways and skyscrapers crumble all around him from the shock of a 10.5 earthquake. the preposterous flying sequence is equally thrilling. the climax occurs aboard the giant ark, when an equipment malfunction almost threatens the entire mission.
unfortunately, the crusial sequence is not filmed or edited with the requisite clarity. in 2012 film, emmerich leaves us befuddled as to exaclty what is happening to whom. however, emmerich' 2012 deserves credit for offbeat casting. cusack supplies his trademark hangdog charm. mccarthy has perhaps his best role ever as peet's cocky. danny glover lends dignity to the role of the tormented president. chiwetel ejiofor, as the chief scientist , brings a moving sense of anguish to a stock role. platt has fun playing the villain of the piece, and woody harrelson also chews the scenery as a bug-eyed radio prophet trying to warn his listeners about armageddon.
all in one 2012's cinematography, production design and visual effects are awards-worthy. music also propels the movie. it presents american idol runner-up, adam lambert, who provides a rousing anthem over the end credits.
