The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume One by Chuck Dixon, Robert Jordan, Chase Conley
4.0
A great adaptation for a great book. The only scene in it that didn't appear in the book itself was a prologue bit where Tam Al'Thor tells the tale of the Dragon. It doesn't detract from the story, it just sets the mood for the rest of it. Otherwise all of the dialogue is straight from the novel.
The downsides are few, but noticeable. The differences in artwork between chapters can be pretty jarring. In one Thom Merrilin looks like a fit older gentleman with a Fu Manchu mustache. In another he looks like a wizened old man with a long handle bar mustache hanging off his lips. That's the best example, but other characters have jarring differences. And, if you like the flavor bits, for example that the Congar and the Coplin families are so intermarried their basically the same thing is missing, as are a few more tidbits of the locals.
Again, great adaptation otherwise. I definitely recommend it for anyone interested in the Wheel of Time series but feels intimidated by the number of pages.
