Wow, I am super excited about this and I am not necessarily a comic book fan-type (well, apart from wanting Buffy season 8 for forever
) It is the first official look at Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol 1 and will be published on March 16 in the USA, with a first printing of 350,000 copies. Artist Young Kim will be doing the artwork and adaption but will be working closely with Twilight Series Author Stephenie Meyer, it is Kim’s first time working on a graphic novel and it looks like she is doing a brilliant job. Stephenie spoke with Entertainment Weekly, here are a few questions from the interview which can be read in it’s entirety in their next issue:
The text of your original novel is boiled down so carefully that it doesn’t feel like anything is missing. Were you the one who did that?
I was definitely involved. I didn’t do the original “script” for the book, so to speak. But when I got the dialogue with the images, I did a lot of tinkering. In a couple of places, I asked for missing scenes to be inserted. For example, the conversation in the car that Bella and Edward have after she faints in Biology.
How does the feeling of reading the graphic novel compare to that of reading the original? Does it bring something new to the experience for you?
For me, it takes me back to the days when I was writing Twilight. It’s been a while since I was really able to read Twilight; there is so much baggage attached to that book for me now. It seems like all I can see are the mistakes in the writing. Reading Young’s version brought me back to the feeling I had when I was writing and it was just me and the characters again. I love that. I thank her for it.
When this project is done, are you done with Twilight?
I can’t say that I am done with Twilight forever. I’m not working on anything new Twilight-related now, and probably not for a while. But there’s still a possibility that I’ll go back and close some of the open doors.

Ah I wish Stephenie would just give us a bit more closure on the series
I so badly want another book and all this maybe maybe not talk is not good for the soul
you know what I mean? The novel should be good fun though, ease the longing just a little
