The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume Two by Chuck Dixon
5.0
Rating: 5 stars
You know what? Yeah, this deserves five stars. And not just because of Min. Though I would be lying if I said her presence didn't help. It's mostly because every major gripe I had with Volume One was pretty much non existent in this second volume. Lan still had a few moments of disco fever with his fluorescent warder cloak, and there were some strange far away faces, but the majority - the vast majority - of the graphic novel was perfect. And I even thought the artwork got better, if that is possible (not that the first volume's art was terrible by any means). Plus, we got what I hoped for more of after reading Volume One: channeling artwork! Look at Moiraine being the badass Aes Sedai she is to all the Whitecloaks here:
Woah! That is exactly what I have been waiting for! Good job artists! Keep it up! (I've decided that I like pictures in my reviews because when I go back and read them I get all excited like a child does when reading a picture book, a child whose maturity level I probably align with most, let's be honest)
I will always be partial towards the traditional novel format, and it would be difficult for me to select a graphic novel to read purely based on the synopsis (I go by the theme of the novel, be it Doctor Who or Star Trek/Wars) so I can't say that I would give this five stars if I had not read and loved the source material. All the same, Volume Two has convinced me to continue on with the Wheel of Time graphic novels, and I'm going straight into Volume Three after I finish writing this review.
