COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The novels are wonderful and the show is great. But this graphic novel interpretation is a major let-down. submitted by eknapp on July 2, 2012, 2:34pm Collects the first six issues.

Full disclosure: I've read the novels--the real ones--several times. So when I say that the graphic novel is not good, it's possible that it's suffering (badly) by comparison.

That said, it is not good. The plot keeps lurching forward ungracefully, the narration is dull, and the art--while pretty--told the story in a boring, uninspired fashion. I won't be picking up v2.

Mostly enjoyable submitted by hbc414 on August 20, 2013, 7:39am I found the Game of Thrones graphic novel to be a fast, entertaining read. Having read all of the books before watching the TV series, I appreciate some of the details being included in the graphic novel that were left out of the show. I believe I will enjoy reading further installments of the graphic novel.
That said, I’m iffy on some of the illustration. I think it’s well done, but the style in which many of the characters were drawn feels a touch too cartoony for me in some regards. Many of the characters look very... cute.

wonderful submitted by aparna70 on June 28, 2014, 8:26pm amazing book

Spotty submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on August 14, 2014, 4:07am It's a good adaptation of the novel (so far, at least), but the artwork is middling. There are some great details and a few interesting page designs, but the character faces are ill-defined, not well differentiated. Some of the coloring also feels off - the Targaryen hair is decidedly not silvery at all. It is nice to see Tyrion with the mismatched eye colors, as described in the book, but the team didn't make his hair anything but a rather plain light blonde. The bodies of the female characters all seem to have the same model (or lack thereof) - Catelyn Stark is shaped the same as Dany, etc. The most interesting thing about this volume is George R. R. Martin's preface in which he has some interesting things to say about comic books, what they were like when he was growing up, and also some solid comments on how different mediums (novels, film, graphic novels) all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
