As always, fascinating to see characters we've come to love in the flesh, so to speak. I especially like the pics of Clayton. Also good to see Elena's beginnings as a werewolf, unexpected as they are. Loved it but should have been longer.

It seems many writers are flocking to the graphic novel format. Not only do graphic novels allow authors to tell stories in an entirely different way, but authors are exposed to people who wouldn't normally read their text-only adventures. Kelley Armstrong is now one of those creators. She announces in the introduction of her book Becoming that fans have been wanting more details of Elena Michaels' past, and a visual presentation was the only way to go. The book focuses on Elena's early werewolf turn and how she copes with losing her normal life.
The graphic novel does not lose any of Armstrong's creepy style. If anything, this is the best novella turned comic I have read in a while. The story is emotionally driven, and is very powerful in that sense. The illustrations are sharp and clear, with "internet sensation" Angilram providing the artwork.
The coolest feature of the book is the amount of extras that are included. A quarter of the book consists of things such as inked preview pages and a file on the main characters - that little bit extra that makes the book worth checking out.
