Northanger Abbey Comic Book In Production!

First, Pride and Prejudice was adapted to a comic, then Sense and Sensibility, then Emma (though I haven't read the Emma one yet). Now, Marvel Comics is adding Northanger Abbey to the list of Jane Austen novels adapted to a comic book!

My concern is that they're not going to put enough of the satire that was in Jane Austen's novel in there. That was one of the issues with the 2007 movie: it looked like it was a movie adapted from a Gothic novel and not a movie adapted from a parody of Gothic novels (Don't get me wrong, I still liked the 2007 movie: it just had more issues than it should have).

It's kind of funny: Marvel is making Jane Austen Comics in the order that I have read them: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and now Northanger Abbey. If they go onto Persuasion next, they would have kept it in the exact same order that I have read Jane Austen books (though currently reading Mansfield Park, slowly but surely!)

God Bless,
