Better Book Titles For Graphic Novels

We love Better Book Titles because it helps us feel like good little anti-literary-establishment rebels by thinking “Hah, yeah, there really wasn’t much else to that classic work of art, was there?” when we actually like nothing better than the pretentious joy of having slogged through a classic book that no one actually reads anymore.

In case you are confused, Better Book Titles is a blog that condenses the content of famous books into the few words that should have been on the title, to save us all a bunch of time.

This week they did graphic novels and it is awesome.

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
