none of these are graphic novels, they're all shitty superhero comics. graphic novels tackle more serious subject matter.

Dude come the fuck down, just cuz someone accidently referse to a trade as a graphic novel doesn't make them snobbie or a snob.

@Jack655321, you're an idiot.
The term graphic novel has nothing to do with the genre or content.
Calling Watchmen "shitty superhero comics"...
Well did I mention you're an idiot?

just a matter of opinion, but to me when someone says "prestige format", it sounds a lot snobbier than plain old graphic novel. Not saying your wrong, but most noobs would know them as just graphic novels. You have to be kind of in-the-know to refer to them as prestige format.

Your opinion of the prestige format term is indeed an opinion, but my statement of definition is not.
And that (as stated) was the whole point of this.
To put people in the know that aren't!

I understand the definition, but it's your opinion that "graphic novel" is a snobby term, when "prestige format" clearly sounds way snobbier. IMO of course. lol

I don't disagree that prestige format sounds snobbier!
Its a rarely used term really.
Personally I prefer the terms "Book" "Novel" and "magazine", but use the term "comic" the most outta habit!
