Thanks for posting, CJ. I was, almost, almost starting to worry #16 would be the last graphic.

I wonder what it will be about...of course the name doesn't tell us anything, as (almost) always.

With the publication of this, Scott Lobdell will pass Leslie McFarland for most consecutive Hardy Boys titles written. Of course, novels and graphic novels are different...but still, it's an interesting peace of trivia.

Oh, yeah, have I mentioned before that I hate it when a book has an exclamation point in the title? Question marks are pretty bad, too.

I've made an article about this book on The Hardy Boys Wiki:

Awesome! But I still have to get 14, 15, and 16...

It's actually called "Word Up" ??!!

Oookay. That's actually kind of funny. It'll probably be something weird like a spelling bee.

Oh yeah, or a crossword puzzle.

*groans* Not another of those weird names!

Word Up is a slang term meaning I agree ... so it could be anything

Olivia · October 23, 2008, 07:10:01 PM

Yeah, I was going to say it probably takes place in a ghetto but I didn't want to be stereotypical or inappropriate.

NZone · October 23, 2008, 07:10:47 PM

you're so stereotypical! (and inappropriate)

Olivia · October 23, 2008, 07:12:13 PM

I guess I could be accused of worse

Olivia · October 23, 2008, 07:12:44 PM

Actually, "inappropriate" covers a lot.

I wonder if Word Up! might be a part 2 in some sort of graphic novel trilogy?

Considering what we've seen on the cover to Shhhh! that would make a lot of sense.

Hey! That could work. They thought they were only protecting a bunch of kids, but when one of the kids accidentally overhear some spies talking about espionage.... The Hardy boys have to stop a terrorist bunch bent on America's destruction.
What do you think?

Hummm... They did do a ND GN trilogy a little while back but I don't know if these will be a trilogy. $:-\$
