A graphic novel has a unique way of telling a story. Instead of using paragraphs, it uses pictures and panels. In each panel there is one picture, each picture may or may not contain a speech bubble, emanata or caption. A speech bubble allows the reader to know who is talking and what their saying, meanwhile a caption makes a direct connection by speaking directly to the reader. An emanata allows the reader to know what is going on in the character's head. Some common examples are '?' to indicate confusion, 'ZZZ' to tell the reader that the character is sleeping, and symbols such as '#@$%#' to symbolize a character's anger.

Anthony Horowitz is a famous author, who has written many book series. Those include the Raven’s Gate series, Diamond Brothers Mysteries, and of course the Alex Rider series. When researching him as an author, I found out that he likes action a lot. “Like many other young boys, he was enthralled by the James Bond series.” (Pg.6) You can infer that he likes action because James Bond had a lot of it. I also figured out that he likes danger. “Horowitz does not hesitate to put him in life-endangering situations…” (Pg.51) Anthony Horowitz would like the movie made from his book Stormbreaker because of the action and danger.

There are a number of events that caused Simon to be murdered, it did not just happen out of nowhere. The main reason, I believe, that Simon was murdered, was because Jack and his group of hunters split from Ralph’s group. If they did not split, Simon wouldn't have wondered off and stumbled into their odd ritual which lead to his death.
The desire for power stems from lack of it, the need for power leads to attempts to have authority over everyone in his sight. Billy Dent thrives on dominance over others, like Jasper and G. William Tanner. Craving power over people is a trait often associated with the morally corrupt, and there is no character in the novel with more limited morals than William Cornelius Dent. His need for negative influence makes him weak because of his reliance on it. Billy Dent is the weakest character in I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga, because he relies on control, he is paranoid, and he can not resist the death he causes, which was his downfall and will be again.

Simon faints continuously throughout the story, which gives the impression that he’s weak. “Then one of the boys flopped on his face in the sand and the line broke up” (20). This is the first time Simon faints. “ ‘He’s [Simon] always throwing a faint,’ said Merridew” (20). Here Jack Merridew admits that Simon has fainted a lot in the past and should be just left alone on the sand. “Simon was inside the mouth. He fell down and lost consciousness” (144). When he imagines that the sow’s head is talking to him, he has a seizure near the end of the conversation and blacks out. This is the last time he fainted until his life ended. Simon faints a lot throughout the story giving others the impression he is weak and sickly, but in truth he is a very strong, caring person.
