The Hedge Knight, Issue 1 by Ben Avery, George R.R. Martin, Bill Tortolini
5.0
Believe it or not, this is my very FIRST trip into the realm of Westeros.
I've never read a book or seen an episode even though I've always been intrigued. I think I saw this on a list of great graphic novels so I thought I'd give it a go and I am glad that I did. The artwork isn't stunning by any means, but the story and characters and world that is built out in these issues compelled me to keep reading and left me wanting more. Thankfully, it looks like there are at least two other entries in this series!
I can only imagine that hardcore ASOIAF fans would love this comic even more because they'd get to see the names of legend come to life as this series is set 100 years before the events in the books. Even me, however, knowing nothing about the world, enjoyed this story about the chivalrous Dunk and his trusty Egg!
