A review by unladylike
A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel: Volume One by George R.R. Martin

4.0

My biggest complaint about this sequential art adaptation of A Game of Thrones is the number of typos and other editing oversights. Considering the spotlight this series has on it right now, some of the mistakes and revelations in the bonus behind-the-scenes material struck me as tasteless and surprisingly low-budget. For example, the description of the auditioning process for the artist says more about the need to find an artist who would work nonstop for lower pay than it did about the art actually being better than the others who wanted the job.

Overall, though, I was thoroughly satisfied with this graphic novel, having just finished the source material days before starting it, and am eager for the subsequent volumes to be released.
