R.: Books Review: It’s a small comic - It’s really great recommend reading Review: Another Great Adaptation - This graphic novel is the first volume of a four volume adaptation of George R. R. Martin's original novel of the same name. The second season of the HBO Series Game of Thrones was based on the same novel. So, if you are looking to compare this volume to the TV show, it covers roughly the same story as the first two or three episodes of season 2. Although the scripting and pencils are done by different individuals than the crew that adapted the first novel in the series, the writing and art continue to be top notch. The story is well told and the art is often stunningly beautiful. In fact, artist Mel Rubi manages to bring a great deal of expressiveness to the characters that the previous volumes lacked. The only drawback is that, like the TV series, the creators attempted to cram this adaptation of this second novel into the same amount of space that was given to the first novel (which is significantly shorter). In both media, the adapters are omitting more details of the story. Nevertheless, the graphic novel version does follow the original novel more closely and you definitely get more story detail (or at least different details) than you do in the TV series. Unlike the adaptation of the first novel, the additional features in this volume are nothing special - it's just a gallery of alternate covers for the individual issues of the comic book. But otherwise, the hardcover is a nice volume, featuring high quality paper and a binding that feels genuinely sturdy. Also, it might be worth noting that unlike the previous volumes, this particular volume is relatively PG rated. So, if you've been wanting to show your kids some Game of Thrones in comic book form, this one is somewhat safe.

Marvelous
Excellent, beautifully drawn. I skipped the Game of Thrones graphic novel because I didn't like the art style. This artist is much better, magnificent must own for any ASOIAF fan.

Nice comic book. Off wrong another perspective into GOT, with additional and finer details than TV version.

Excelente material e impressão. Adaptação do roteiro de George R.R.Martin do livro do mesmo nome, então não há muito o que falar. Sobre a arte, trata-se dos desenhos de um grande amigo meu. Quanto às cores, foram feitas por mim. Então sou suspeito em falar mas posso garantir que é um dos meus melhores trabalhos. Ótima aquisição.

A far cry from the books but a great shortcut.
