I don't draw lines for other people - what they read is for them to decide.
I can certainly imagine circumstances in which it might be appropriate for someone to read a graphic novel rather than the original. Young children, perhaps, or people learning English. One would have to consider each circumstance on its own merits. I'm certainly not going to say "graphic novels are bad in all circumstances", but neither will I say that they're better than the original.
