The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume Six by Chuck Dixon, Andie Tong, Robert Jordan
3.0
I seriously can't keep up with the plot of these books, it seems like everyone has a dozen different names and they're constantly referring back to people who were briefly mentioned 2 volumes ago. I don't know how I followed the Wheel of Time through a dozen books when I was a teenager, but apparently I did. Despite the tortuous cavalcade of names and histories, I'm still keen to keep reading (if they ever do the second book). The story is fun, and this volume chronicles one of the more exciting passages from The Eye of the World.
I feel pretty meh about the art style. It's standard stuff I suppose, but applied to a medieval fantasy world it looks like something from 1950s pulp fiction. All the guys have six packs and necks like tree trunks, all the women look like models, and the fantastical creatures are rendered in the most boring way possible, with little imagination and often contradicting the descriptions written in the text itself. But the story drew me on.
