I guess my Volume One comment about the artist needing to work on facial expressions was right on, since Tommy Patterson acknowledges the fact himself in the bonus content of this issue. However, Volume Two is light on emotional dialogues and heavy on battles and skirmishes, real and pretend. We get a look at the Hand's tourney, Catelyn's party trying to survive the mountain tribe onslaught, Ned's guard getting assaulted by the Lannisters and Jon's training in the Night's Watch. Patterson is pretty good with these action shots, though I still maintain he is at his most excellent when doing panoramic or crane shots that include architectural detail. Once the action shots and the panoramic view come together in a single panel, the results can be pretty amazing (see, for example, the tourney introduction full page panel). The bonus content of Volume Two is great. It contains a detailed look into the creation process, from Abraham's first draft script, to editor's corrections, to Patterson's penciling, Dillon's lettering and finally Nunes' coloring. Quite an involved process, to be sure. [b: A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel|12962439|A Game of Thrones The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1|Daniel Abraham|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1369052110s/12962439.jpg|18120108] reading continues and... continues to not greatly impress me. While it's nice to see an alternative adaptation to the television show, the artwork of these graphic novels really doesn't appeal to me. The style is too close to the typical anime/manga style to feel truly medieval or otherworldly and some of the designs are so egregious as to be downright disturbing. In particular, the direwolves look less like wolves than they do like blobs of color with muppet muzzles. It's... not great. That having been said, the books are somewhat saved by the accuracy of the adaptation from book to comic. The plot is closer to that of the books than the show, and much of the dialogue is lifted straight from the book itself. The pacing is decent, and in particular the attention to detail when it comes to rendering the settings is quite good. The Vale and Riverrun, for instance, are both rather great. The Iron Throne itself is the insanely massive, nearly comical, thing that it was in the books and other artistic renditions. All of this is nicely in its favor. Nothing, however, could really save me from the character designs. The characters don't look so much related as they do traced from the same basic design. Renly, Theon, and Jon might as well be the same person - as would Gendry, were it not for his haircut. Sansa and Catelyn are essentially clones, which would work a bit well were they heights not also quite similar. Lancel and Joffrey, likewise, are indistinguishable - with the occasional Viserys thrown into that mixture as well. I wanted to enjoy these, and on some level I did, just not quite the way I would have liked to have enjoyed them. I think I took so long reading this because it felt like I was going backward in the story. I read this in the novel a looong time ago and watched it on the show ... why did I feel like I needed to relive it? Who the hell knows why I do anything, honestly. But I will tell you one thing: this book stunk. For real. Like mildew. Which was another reason I didn't want to read it, I suppose. The content was old, and the book literally smelled old. Not a good combo. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Novelist Daniel Abraham and illustrator Tommy Patterson are not merely turning George R. R. Martin's epic fantasy A Game of Thrones into a graphic novel: They are meticulously translating one art form into another, and capturing the intricate nuances of Martin's novels just as HBO is doing with the blockbuster series. The Abraham/Patterson collaboration is more than just a faithful adaptation. It is a labor of love-and a thrilling masterwork in its own right. Now, in the second volume, the sweeping action moves from the icy north, where the bastard Jon Snow seeks to carve out a place for himself among bitter outcasts and hardened criminals sworn to service upon the Wall . . . to the decadent south and the capital city of King's Landing, where Jon's father, Lord Eddard Stark, serves as the Hand of King Robert Baratheon amid a nest of courtly vipers . . . to the barbarian lands across the Narrow Sea, where the young princess Daenerys Targaryen has found the unexpected in her forced marriage to the Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo: love-and with it, for the first time in her life, power. Meanwhile, the dwarf Tyrion Lannister, accused by Lady Catelyn Stark of the attempted murder of her now-crippled youngest son, must call upon all his cunning and wit to survive when he is captured and imprisoned in the lofty dungeons of the Eyrie, where Lady Stark's sister-a woman obsessed with vengeance against all Lannisters-rules. But Catelyn's impulsive arrest of the Imp will set in motion a series of violent events whose outcome is fated to shake the world at the worst possible moment. For now is not the time for private feuds and bloodthirsty ambitions. Winter is coming . . . and with it, terrors beyond imagining.

It's a simple enough idea, but I thought it was clever of them to color-code the narration points of view, a neat adaptation of the POV chapters in the original novels.
In both volumes 1 and 2, the creators have closed with a behind the scenes look at adapting something as huge and complicated as the Song of Ice and Fire series into a graphic novel. It's fun to read about the process and get visuals of the different stages of creation.
I'm very impressed with both the art and the storytelling-I'm glad they're not even through the first book-all the more for me to devour.
