Status Updates From Black Tide Rising: The Grap...

I am having trouble getting into this graphic novel. I've already read the books so I have a vision in my mind of the characters and they don't seem to match what the artist imagined them as. Granted, my imagining of Tom is utterly different from they actual description in the book. The artist is a lot closer, but I still imagine Tom like Mr. T in a suit and tie that can barely contain him. I'll keep trying.
