I Reads You Review: George R.R. Martin's A GAME OF THRONES #20

GEORGE R.R. MARTIN’S A GAME OF THRONES #20
DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT – @dynamitecomics

WRITER: George R.R. Martin
ADAPTATION: Daniel Abraham
ART: Tommy Patterson
COLORS: Ivan Nunes and Sandra Molina
LETTERS: Marshall Dillon
COVER: Mike S. Miller
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (2014)

George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones is Dynamite Entertainment’s comic book adaptation of A Game of Thrones.  This is the 1996 novel from science fiction and fantasy author, George R.R. Martin.  It is the first book in his best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of high fantasy novels.  That series is also the basis for the award-winning and popular HBO television series, “Game of Thrones.”

Scheduled to run 24-issues, George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones is adapted by science fiction and fantasy novelist, Daniel Abraham, who sometimes collaborates with George R.R. Martin.  Tommy Patterson draws A Game of Thrones the comic book, with Ivan Nunes coloring the art.  I have previously read and reviewed A Game of Thrones the comic book series via three volumes of A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel, Bantam Books’ hardcover reprint of the Dynamite comic book series.

George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones #20 opens on the battlefield of the KhalsKhal Drogo and his warriors (Khalasar) have defeated Khal Ogo and his son, Fogo.  Now, Drogo’s Khalasar begins the pillaging, because to the victor goes the spoils.

Daenerys (or “Dany”) of the House Targaryen is Drogo’s “wife” (his “Khaleesi”).  Astride a horse, Dany makes her way through fields of the dead and witnesses that other thing that goes to victors, the raping of the women.  But Danys is having none of that, as she saves the women.  This is how she asserts her authority within Drogo’s Khalasar and her power over her husband.

Meanwhile, at the Wall, Jon Snow, bastard son of Lord Eddard Stark, wonders about the status of his family, especially the fate of his imprisoned father.  Meanwhile, Lord Mormont, sort of a mentor to Jon, has a special gift for him.  Maester Aemon also has many things to tell young Jon, including information concerning the House to which Aemon belongs.

Prior to reading A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel: Volume 1, I was not familiar with the novel, A Game of Thrones, although I had heard of it and the television series adaptation.  I am thankful to Bantam Books (a division of Random House) for sending review copies of the graphic novels.  They were my introduction to what has been a wonderful reading experience.

Dynamite Entertainment and Daniel Abraham and Tommy Patterson have done a brilliant job in producing this comic book series.  The adaptation is so sturdy and well-conceived that each 29-page chapter seems like a 58-page installment.  The depth and detail make me think that I am reading a graphic novel with each issue.  George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones #20 makes me hope that this adaptation continues after issue #24.

I Reads You Review: A GAME OF THRONES #19

GEORGE R.R. MARTIN’S A GAME OF THRONES #19
DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT – @dynamitecomics

WRITER: George R.R. Martin
ADAPTATION: Daniel Abraham
ART: Tommy Patterson
COLORS: Ivan Nunes
LETTERS: Marshall Dillon
COVER: Mike S. Miller
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (2014)

Dynamite Entertainment is currently producing a comic book adaptation of A Game of Thrones, the 1996 novel from science fiction and fantasy author, George R.R. Martin.  The novel is the first book in Martin’s best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of high fantasy novels.  That series is also the basis for the award-winning and popular HBO television series, “Game of Thrones.”

George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones is a planned 24-issue comic book series.  Science fiction and fantasy novelist, Daniel Abraham, who sometimes collaborates with Martin on fiction, adapts the novel into comic book form.  Artist Tommy Patterson draws A Game of Thrones the comic book, with Ivan Nunes coloring the art.  I have read and reviewed A Game of Thrones the comic book series via three volumes of A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel, Bantam Books’ hardcover reprint of the Dynamite comic book series.

George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones #19 opens with Lord Tyrion Lannister (the dwarf) in the company of his new allies, the mountain men, who are suspicious of him.  He has promised these warrior clansmen much.  Now, they ride to the Trident where Tyrion will meet his father, Lord Tywin Lannister, and try to complete the bargains he made.  Will Tywin go along with a son for whom he really does not care?

Meanwhile, Robb Stark, son of the imprisoned Lord Eddard Stark, marches to meet the Lannisters, but to reach them, he needs the Crossing which will take him to Riverrun.  However, Walder Frey, Lord of the Crossing, has not given his permission, allowing Stark’s forces to cross.  Now, Lady Catelyn Stark, wife of Eddard and mother of Robb, must find a way to make someone who is supposed to be an ally act like an ally.

Prior to reading A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel: Volume 1, I was not familiar with A Game of Thrones, although I had heard of the television series.  I did not even know that the novel was being adapted into comic book form until Random House sent me a review copy of the first graphic novel in early 2012.  Since I have enjoyed the graphic novel collections so much, I have been planning on reading individual issues of Dynamite Entertainment’s series.  As luck would have it, I happened to be visiting a comic book store the week George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones #19 was released.  [A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel: Volume 3 concluded with issue #18]

As I have with the collections, I thoroughly enjoyed #19.  Daniel Abraham and Tommy Patterson are not producing a slap-dash licensed product.  This comic book is filled with the kind of character details that enrich the story.  It does not matter how big a scene is or how many characters are involved, Abraham makes every bit of dialogue matter and every scene important to moving the narrative.

Patterson’s compositions transport readers to another world.  It may not be anyone else version of A Game of Thrones, but Patterson makes you believe that his art is not just a depiction, but is an actual world brought to life.  Ivan Nunes’ colors add the extra bit of spark that makes the drama vivid.

George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones #19 is not just a good fantasy comic book; it is a good comic book – period.  I wish other fantasy authors were so luck to have Daniel Abraham and Tommy Patterson adapting their novels to comic book form.
