KPop Demon Hunters Graphic Novel Next Month, And Manhwa Next Year

KPop Demon Hunters Graphic Novel out next month, and manhwa next year... but what about KPop Demon Detectives?

The end of March sees Random House rush out a graphic novel adaptation of last year's big Netflix hit KPop Demon Hunters, and it looks like it has been down by screencapping the mobie and arranging the screencaps into panels on a page… this kind of thing used to be a lot common than it is now, and it was revived ten years ago for Pixar and Disney movies courtesy of the dear departed Joe Books. An actual graphic novel adaptation in the traditional style will also be coming, written and drawn as a manhwa from a South Korean creative team.
