Although i have not read Gaiman's original novel of this story, this graphic novel rendition is an exciting and magical journey which is compelling to the very end. I now need to seek out the original story, in Mr. Gaiman's own words.

Read the novel first. Also view the BBC mini-series!

Yo! It took me a lot longer to finish this book than I thought because the drawings were hecka beautiful and some dialogue struck me as magnificent. I haven't read Gaiman's novel before this but the visual aspect was so appealing and it was so original. If you want to fall in love with a story, read some Gaiman.

Neverwhere is one of the only things by Neil Gaiman I haven't read yet - probably because I own it, so it has no due date. I wasn't very drawn in by the BBC series when I tried watching that, and I was nervous that this graphic novel would turn me off further, but even without having read the novel, I thought it was a fantastically told story, and that's what counts.

Mike Carey and Glenn Fabry made London Below really come to life with this graphic novel. A few things were changed to make the story flow easier but otherwise a wonderful job.

Developing a fanship with Gaiman. The premise of this one sounded intriguing, and since I'm only getting YA novels to read on my daughter's Nook Color, this one looked prime.
Glad I did. Hopefully my 12-year old will dig it as well.

This was a well-done adaptation of one of my favorite novels. Lots of fun!

Now this one, I liked.
I consider myself lucky that I've usually been able to accept what Carey says in his introduction - that adaptations take on a life of their own as a tale shifts between media, like variations on a theme. And while some work better than others, there is always going to be disappointment if you go into something expecting "the film of the book" (or indeed, "the book of the film!") rather than judging each in its own right and its own medium.
Although Islington had anime hair in this one, which made me giggle.

A beautiful visual interpretation of Neverwhere. It moves much faster than the book did, for obvious reasons, and I think some things were lost in translation, but as someone who read the novel, the comic book is a great way to see the story.
