Loading... A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel: Volume Threeby George R. R. Martin, Daniel Abraham (Author), Tommy Patterson (Illustrator)
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  matija2019 | Jan 8, 2019 |   While this remains a decent adaptation as far as story, dialogue, and pacing go my problems remain the same. The artwork has not improved over the series of issues, and that makes it a bit difficult to enjoy since the visual is so vital to comics in general. The settings are done well, some of the larger location shots are a pleasure, but the animals and characters are lackluster to the point of alternating disgust and unintentional comedy. Ghost, in particular, is pretty ridiculous. Comics would be a great alternative adaptation to the television show, as they can keep in many of the plot points that the show needed to sacrifice due to the medium. However, even with the addition of certain characters and events that the show needed to cut out... the art just doesn't make reading these much of a pleasure.

In King's Landing, Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell, the Hand of King Robert Baratheon, is surrounded by enemies. Some are openly declared, such as Ser Jaime Lannister and his sister, Queen Cersei. Others are hidden in the shadows. Still others wear the smiling mask of friends. But all are deadly, as Eddard is about to discover. Nor is the enmity between Eddard and the Lannister siblings the sole source of friction between these powerful noble families. For Tyrion Lannister, the Imp, whose stunted, twisted body houses the mind of a genius, has but lately won his freedom from Lady Catelyn Stark, Eddard's wife, who had accused him of attempting to murder her youngest son, Brandon. Now he seeks out his father, his restless thoughts bent on revenge. Far to the north, the bastard Jon Snow, newly sworn to the Night's Watch, takes the first faltering steps toward a destiny stranger than he could ever dream, a destiny that will bring him face-to-face with unspeakable horrors from beyond the edge of the world. While across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen, wed to the great Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo, and pregnant with his child, a son prophesied to conquer the world, will see her own destiny take an unforeseen turn.

Young men especially tend to look all the same, it's difficult to spot the differences between Robb Stark (luckily he grows a beard later!), Jon Snow, Theon Greyjoy and others of that age group. Not a big deal since people had trouble separating them even in the first season of the TV show when they were all together, but there's definitely room for improvement.
The bonus content includes character sheets - conceptual drawings of major characters, approved by George RR Martin, set against their description from the novels (if any could be found). (
