The artistic work here in rendering the story line is fantastic! When I read a book I want the author to paint a picture in my mind with his words. This graphic novel really gets close to what I imagined in my mind. Great job everyone!

Nice Job and great companion of the Books. Waiting for the next issue.

I've always enjoyed comics growing up, and am glad to see one of my favorite stories get an artistic update. Now where is the next edition? I've been waiting a while for the next set of comics to be combined into one graphic novel.

A wonderful adaptation !! As G.R.R. Martin says in the intro, you must adapt to each medium. The HBO series, while brilliant, does not have "the voices" the same way as the books...and that is not meant as a slight...voice overs would be loathed by all! By nature of the format, this comes closer. Well done!! Hit all the right notes and feel -- and the penciling and coloring are wonderful. This was the perfect "review" to get me in the mood for season 2 of the show...but also am looking forward to seeing the rest of the tale play out in this format as well. Hats off to all involved..nice job...now get busy on the next chapters!! I am a needy little thing.
