12/14/2005 - Degrassi Graphic Novels Update

 

In an update about the graphic novel news from earlier this week, the Executive Producer posted tonight about them. He says that the internet is wrong on a lot of details about the Degrassi: The Next Generation Extra Credit series, but that it is a very exciting series coming out. He mentions there will be a formal announcement regarding the series soon. What exactly Comic Book Resources.com was wrong about remains to be seen but current speculation indicates that maybe they aren't even graphic novels but regular books, we will update on this as more news becomes available, especially on whether these are even graphic novels, and what they contain.

Also in response to the wave of harsh criticism by many fans of the new episode "Together Forever" he responded saying that all criticism of an episode is non-offensive to everyone, that they actually appreciate it and it helps them decide what to do in Season 6.

The execs full post is below:

"I want to assure everyone that constructive criticisms of the shows are most strongly welcomed and appreciated. The comments of the past 100 or so postings are very useful to us as we make plans for next year. Don't worry about offending anyone--we always appreciate comments that are given from the heart.

On another note, there were some Internet leaks including photographs from the Frankfurt book fair, of the proposed Degrassi: Extra Credit series. It is very exciting, and there will be a formal announcement shortly. The details on the Internet so far are wrong in many details, but right in that there is a lot of excitement about this! But p.s., this is not the Secret Project--that is something different!"
