The idea of someone developing a graphic novel version of Gone came into my head a few days ago, and I haven't quite been able to stop thinking about it (good thing it's summer, because if I were at school I'd have undoubtably been caught daydreaming and sent straight to the principal's office by now)

There's been other cases - Alex Rider, Darren Shan, Goosebumps - in which graphic novel versions of books were made, and the results are usually mind-blowingly awesome. All it would take was a good artist who was willing and able, and all the best and most incredible parts of the Gone series - the battle in the first book, Duck slam-dunking the Gaiaphage, Brianna and Caine battling the bugs, Dekka vs Zil, Orc vs Drake, Sam vs Caine, too many others to list here - would be transformed into scenes on pages that put your brain in danger of having an epicness overload :yeah:

I'd just like to know what other people might think since, let's face it, there's really - and sadly - no guarantee we'll ever get a Gone movie.

That is an awesome idea, I would really love to see a graphic novel of the GONE series. Although if it is going to be something like manga it may not meet the tune of the book.

That sounds great!!

But I would prefer a movie (with nothing taken out or added and the characters all right)

Movie would be amazing, but as most book movies, they turn out not the best... But if not, a graphic novel would be great and better than nothing :)

Yes!! This sounds great :) If they can't do a movie it's better then nothing. But I don't think it will happen though :(

The thing is, I don't think GONE has a big enough fanbase for publishers to find someone to draw the pictures, to adapt the text, and to spend money to print it. It would cost them a lot, and not that many people would read it.
I think this would be really cool though. It's times like this I curse our small fandom ;_;

I think this would be an amazing idea tbh

And about people who say: I prefer to picture the scenes in my head. Well I like doing that as well, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to see how someone else interprets it. I think it would be quite interesting XD

I despise graphic novels.
Of course, they could make one, I just wouldn't read it.

I've never actually read an entire graphic novel. But I'm sure if a Gone one was made I would certainly start :)

I wouldn't mind a graphic novel.

But I still prefer imagining everything in my head (this helps your imagination).

Although I certainly would prefer it to a movie/TV show. :)

I'd prefer a movie, cause it kind of makes it seem more real, ya know.

I wouldn't mind a graphic novel though, if there's no other choice.

But well, maybe there will be a movie or tv-series in like, 30 years, ya know.

Though I'll be as old as my mum by then, and that's something I want to avoid.
