‘Twilight’ the Graphic Novel Plus Midnight Sun News?

by MrsEdwardCullen on January 20, 2010 · Comments

in Stephenie Meyer, Twilight

And the Twilight ball keeps right on rolling.  Yen Press will be releasing an amazing graphic novel featuring Twilight.  Entertainment Weekly had a chance to speak the The Twilight Saga creator, Stephenie Meyer.

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.

What do you think, Twihards? Are you excited about this?

I cannot wait to get my hands on these, but there will only be 350,000 copies so how will this work?  Will we have to camp outside Barnes & Noble?(because you know I will lol)  And I firmly believe Stephenie Meyer will complete Midnight Sun at some stage, she wouldn’t just not finish it, she doesn’t strike me as the type to leave any stone unturned, so we will have to do what we do best…hurry up and wait.  :(

Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1 will be released March 16th and can be ordered now.

  • 350,000 copies only? waaaaaaah! *starts to panic*
    have to get my hands on one of that!

    I personally think Stephanie Meyer is tired of all the drama associated with Twilight even though she has done a GREAT job of keeping her and her family out of the press. She...nor her offspring...and their offspring...and their offspring ever have to worry about money or working again so I don't think she will give anything more to it really. I plan on NEVER reading the end of Midnight Sun, because it will never be written. Rumors of her then writting Jacob and Renesme's story are far fetched. I think she is done with Twilight and everything associated with it.
  • I'm so buying this
  • SC~3rd_Wife(TeamSM)
    I'm really excited about the Graphic novels. I already pre-ordered mine on Amazon (at a discounted price). I haven't really been into graphic novels before but I have two hopes with this coming. One, that I can re-live Twilight in a new way - I think this will be a visual way of seeing the story much closer to the original than the movie could ever hope to be. Two, since my daughter is into graphic novels, that she will read them and maybe even want to read the novels, too.

    As for Midnight Sun, of course I would like it finished, but since SM answered fan's questions about NM a few months ago I have been put at ease. I know she will finish it when she is ready and I will have it on pre-order as soon as it is announced. I would rather she write when she feels Edward speaking to her than because us fans are yelling at her. Until then I will enjoy re-reads and anything else SM decides to write. Looking forward to more of The Host.
  • RM♥Eclipse♥Ami♥BD♥Captives
    I'd faint from sheer excitment if Stephenie did more Twilight books. She did leave alot open to continue on with. My girlfriend wrote a 5th book on some of the open topics, so maybe that's why she hasn't heard back about it? I'll have to tell her about this site so she knows that even though nothing will happen with hers, at least there's a possiblity that more is coming. She'll be thrilled, of course. Who wouldn't be? We love Twilight!!!

    I still believe that Stephenie will do MS. It's her 'baby' from Edward's POV. Who wouldn't want to keep writing Edward Cullen? Yeah!! (with crossed fingers)
  • .TF09.
    That Edward reminds me of Samantha's bf in Sex and the City. Ahhhh... HAWT STUFF.
  • Breesmom~team Bel-Ami Rob
    Jason Lewis! That's who I saw in my mind when I first read the Twilight books...long before I had seen pictures of Rob as Edward!
  • .TF09.
    He would have made a really good Edward. Haha. *faints* He's so beautiful. Like, I can't stare at him too much because his beautifulness hurts my eyes. Hahaha. I didn't really picture anyone as Edward, I was really angry at first when I saw Rob though because I didn't like him. But now I'm used to him as Edward. Haha. I still don't picture Rob when I reread the books/fanfics though. :/
  • Breesmom~team Bel-Ami Rob
    Alas! Although it was him I pictured as Edward at first, he would have been too old to play Edward when they filmed the movie...in his late twenties, I would think.

    I like Rob at Edward. I think he has embodied the role well.
  • .TF09.
    Yeah, Jason Lewis does NOT look like a high school student at all. XD

    Yeah, Rob is good now that I've gotten used to him. I just couldn't stop thinking that he was Cedric from HP in the movie. XD
  • 30yearoldtwifan
    PLEASE NM.org remind me the date this comes out! I really want these, It will be a collectors item! It Looks Great by the way!
  • Breesmom~team Bel-Ami Rob
    You can pre-order it on Amazon. You get the lowest pre-order price, they have excellent shipping, and you don't have to worry about them running out at the store before you can get there to buy it. I did. Very simple. I get a lot of my books, DVDs, Twilight stuff there.
  • kerbear585
    the graphic novel looks cool, but i won't get it. not into the comics and now that Kristen and Rob are framed into my mind as Bella and Edward the images don't really look like them and I don't like it. lol

    but hmmmmmmm going back to close doors...midnight sun perhaps? would love that!
  • paulsexgf
    hey everybody! now, i am not the type of person to repeatedly knock you over the head with trying to get you to read my story BUT i will try to persuade you ppl! lol :D http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5388138/1/This_Is_O... <--- but I must say my biggest fan is someone who despises and loathes Jacob and Nessie! and if i'm getting to someone like that, i think its worth checkin' out! just saying...lol
  • I'm all for self pimping FF's but we can't post links. What I did was changed my authors name on FF.net to match my NMM.org / EM.org user name. That way if someone wants to find my story, it's easy for then to find me in an authors search. That or if someone wants the link, they can post their e-mail address & you can e-mail them the link. The mods will go in & delete the addy but you can find it in your Disqus replies.

    Hope this helps!
  • Cheergirl180
    i read it, it was great! are you going to continue the story??
  • hale yea! *twerd moments* haha thank you for liking it! lol
  • Cheergirl180
    I hope she finishes Midnight Sun! I love Breaking Dawn, but it feels like its missing something. Like what happens between Jacob and Renesmee?? And just what happens to everyone? I would love to know, I have my own little fantasies but they aren't any good. *grins sheepishly*

    I refuse to believe that Stephenie will just leave Midnight Sun unfinished! If it was me, I would keep writing and never stop.

    What will we do after Breaking Dawn's movie comes out.... it can't be the end to the saga. * sadly wipes tear from eye*
  • willow45
    I hope Renesmee dies unexpectedly and Jacob gets to have a proper ending with a hot GIRL (NOT CHILD!) that he deserves.
    *runs and hides behind rock from people throwing stones*
    I'm sorry! But Jacob got gypped! He deserved so much better.
  • 30yearoldtwifan
    Excuse me? I find that comment very rude! You want a baby to die?

    and Willow maybe you need to RE read BD again! a fan? Right.
  • Taylor_is_a_sexy_BEAST
    You need to read this and you mind just might change. I pormise, it changed mine.
    Post-Breaking Dawn: http://kariann1222.livejournal.com/2754.html

    *promises not to throw stones if you read this*
    :D
  • Sorry to inform you but you can not post links to FF's on this site. Most are Rated M and this is a mixed age site. It's a bummer, I know. I'm always open for a good FF to read.

    If you want to share a FF, you can ask for their e-mail address & send it directly. That's what we did with WA, HOFY & EP. Oh and we can't mention the full name of a FF story as well.
  • Taylor_is_a_sexy_BEAST
    Thats bites. I learn something new everyday. :(
  • omg...I just realized had bad I want this book...And I'm not from U.S. Amazon rules...The graphic guy looks goooood:D...But Bella looks more like a cheerleader now:-s

    Ordered mine too on Amazon....they will ship to CANADA!!! YIPPPPPEEEEEE
  • Taylor_is_a_sexy_BEAST
    My goodness ONLY 350,000 copies. I just ordered my on amazon. All the books would be sold out by the time I try to got buy one. Does amazon only have a limted amount of those copies?
  • Wished_My_Hubby_Would_Sparkle
    I wouldn't worry on ew.com it clearly states that "Yen Press will publish Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1 on March 16, with a first printing of 350,000 copies"
    It doesn't say it will "Only" print 350,000 copies. =)
  • Taylor_is_a_sexy_BEAST
    Oh! O_O
    okay well then I don't need to pre-order then. I'll just keep my order unless its cheaper in-stores.
    Thanks :D
  • Hello!! Will the graphic novels include all 4 books??? Or is it only just Twilight?
  • SC~3rd_Wife(TeamSM)
    According to SM's website Twilight: The Graphic Novel will be in 2 volumes, due to the length of the original book. There is no date on the 2nd volume.

    That is all that is posted, but my guess is that they are going to do the entire Saga. It only makes sense to the fans and to their pockets - they are going to milk it for all it's worth - and I'm going to help them by buying them all!!

    ps - I just pre-ordered mine on Amazon... when you pre-order they drastically discount the price :)
  • Oh it would be awesome if she completes Midnight Sun! And I would love her to write another book, maybe about the Volturi? That would be awesome... or about the Quileute Legends... Or Jaspers background... Or what happens after BD with Jacob and Renesmee.... aww so many possibilities... hehe :)
  • Taylor_is_a_sexy_BEAST
    You should read these stroies fans have written. I promise these are the BEST well writen fanfiction about the Alice/Jasper and the Volturi.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5302583/1/The_Long_...
    This is the story of the long journeys Alice & Jasper take on the way to meeting each other and eventually the Cullens.Historically accurate, in canon, APOV & JPOV.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5410818/1/The_Ribbo...
    Set in Etruria, approximately 1000 BC. Marcus is a young man, in love with his master's daughter, Didyme. When her older brother, Aro, disappears mysteriously, the lives of Marcus and Didyme are changed forever...

  • I have been wanting Carlisle's story to be told for a long time, Hello without Carlisle, there would had been no Edward. Can you imagine what Carlisle has seen in his 300 year life? the only vampire that has never killed a human being?
  • IndiesR
    So true....I would love to see Carlisle's story unfold.
  • leahreallyitis
    you are right I would love to know more about Carlisles story and what his relationship was like with his father(before he was truned) growing up and yeah it would be interesting to see what Carlisle has seen during his 300 years of life and yeah without Carlisle there would'nt be Edward or a Cullen family
  • sagrario
    The only project I´m expecting from her is Midnight Sun...all the other projects she has ( not related to this) or the script of BD, sorry but the circle is not closed...
  • IndiesR
    I have to agree....she should definately finish up Midnight Sun
  • ancha85
    I have GOT to have this graphic novel! It looks beautiful!

    And for Stephenie to say that she is going to "close some open doors" is wonderful!! I feel bad that she has had trouble reading Twilight, because she sees mistakes. Don't feel bad Stephenie! We all LOVE Twilight!

    But I do agree, she has so much going on that who knows when she'll get it done.

    She has "The Host" movie going on, plus she said before she wanted "The Host" to be a trilogy. She has the Breaking Dawn script and movie to consult on, so who knows when she is going to have time for "closing the open Twilight doors"...,
    It probably is not just Midnight Sun, either. She has said that she would like to write more about Leah and Bree, and that she has in her mind what happened after BD, so she has several options, but at least she says that she WANTS to do it!
    I also read somewhere that Summit is considering doing sequels AFTER Breaking Dawn! Wow...
  • edwardaddict17
    woah summit wants to do more after BD!!!!

    okay new theory, they are taking so long with a BD release date and getting everyone signed on because they are also talking to SM about writing more books so they aare waiting to get her to do that and then getting the actors to sign on for more than just BD!

    oh my god....oh my god.... im hyperventilating!
    this would make my life.....like no lie, MY WHOLE LIFE! haha
  • leahreallyitis
    now this is what I like to read and hear woo this is going to be amazing:) I would love to know what happen to Leah(my name sake:))and Bree:) and I am glad she is going to close some open doors on the Twilight I am so thrilled:)
  • ancha85
    Let's just pray that she gets some time to do it!! We all know she doesn't need the money...
  • leahreallyitis
    oh definitly I agree:)
  • i would absolutely love for her to write some kind of full length story for all the vamps. i think bree would be pretty cool.

    and i definitely like the idea of sequels after BD. while reading i kept feeling like there was something missing and that there should be more.

    but anything that steph writes i would definitely read :)
  • ancha85
    Me, too!
  • not done w/ twilight forever?!?!

    so does that mean that maybe there will an alternate ending to BD or some kind of update w/ the family written by the queen bee? that would b pretty awesome.

    and i would really love 4 her to finish MS. im sorry that i read it...sort of
  • Crackward Team Adult Pictures
    Hmm, which cover looks like it represents MS the best?

    http://www.shelfari.com/books/4338723/Midnight-Sun
  • Crackward Team Adult Pictures
    I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel just yet. With The Host being made into a feature film and this comic book of sorts, Midnight Sun keeps getting pushed back. :( Now I wish I had never heard of the book because I really don't like getting my hopes up.
  • leahreallyitis
    well said I don't want to get my hopes up either so having that been said who knows when SM will get back to completing MS if there is still a MS I am hoping:) and yeah with The Host being made into a flim it seems pretty dim on when she will complete MS:(
  • Crackward Team Adult Pictures
    I hope she hasn't let poor beloved EPOV in the dust. :(
  • leahreallyitis
    I hope not either I hope EPOV will be in it and not in the dust:(I want Edwards piont of view dammit:(
  • juiciecullen
    I love how the images dont look any Kristen or Robert related!
    Still not my image of Bella and Edward, but, honestly, a lot better

    And if that was ha hint to Midnight Sun - well, that would be seriously amazing!
  • FTW - Bring on Remember Me!
    *le sigh*

    I guess I'll stay on the safe side and not get my hopes up.
  • jennalutz
    In borders last year, there was a sign saying that Midnight Sun was being released this year.... ;-) FYI
  • leahreallyitis
    when did you see the sign tha said MS will be released this year? hmmm that's weird cause SM did'nt mention it well Borders better double their facts to be sure maybe I will check at my mall where there is a Borders and see what is going on
  • I dont belive it for one minute, not until steph says MS will be released
  • leahreallyitis
    exactly I agree I don't believe it either but I am going to ask Borders it does not make any sense at all and again I don't believe it but I am courious as to why Borders would announce the book to be released when SM has'nt even finsh it let alone anything else it is just weird:(
  • Flowers_and_Cookies (Patzy)

  • Omgalice :)
    Yeah ;) it would be intresting to read about her being protected from james, and to read about her first "vision". She must've been like "wth was that?" :p
  • leahreallyitis
