500 points for a single literature objective? It's a lot, but after all, this quest is about graphic novels! We want you to get out there and read some of what the comic book world has to offer.
Objective:
1) Read at least one, and up to five, graphic novels or comic books.
“Graphic novels tell a story using sequential illustrations. Unlike comic books, they are published in book format, can be fiction or non-fiction and usually tell a stand-alone story with a complex plot. Some graphic novels bring together a series of comics and are sometimes conceived as novels with similar features such as character development and multiple story lines.”

The nitty gritty:
-If you read more than one book/novel, each should be from a new series and/or author. No overlap.
-There are no length requirement, but you are encouraged to choose more meaty over thin books. Ofter times single issue comics are compiled into one book, allowing for a longer story to be told. Look for these. (They're usually 1cm + thick.)
-Each book is worth 100 points, up to 500 points. For example, if you read 3 books, record 300 points.
Comics/Graphic novels can be found local library, bought at your local comic or traditional bookstore, or ordered on Amazon.
