Wool: The Graphic Novel (Silo Saga)

Product Information

Now I have only ever really read one graphic novel before which was the first Walking Dead issue so I am by no means a veteran of reading these but in graphic form WOOL looks amazing, the illustrations are all in beautifully subdued hues,reds, purples, blues it just looks incredible but the one thing that totally threw me was the design of the silo. The stairs to start with spiral down the centre of the building where as I had always pictured them running around the sides. The actual floor heights are massive about twice the size I had imagined, areas such as the cafeteria and the gardens are just vast, one scene where you see the mayor walking through the gardens just gives you an amazing perspective on how big the actually are, they are almost cathedral like with the pillars of plants in rows up each side. Also, sad to see how many of these characters are just more random white people. I like my castings better. As I write this review I am getting more and more angry at this graphic novel...I went from giving it 3 stars to 2 stars...but now I even want to give it 1. It's not worth your time. If you really want to enjoy an amazing story, read the book...if you don't have time to read the book, DON'T READ THIS...it won't save you time, it won't make you like Hugh Howey's work and it won't make you want to read the book...all it will do is ruin the story for you...it's a shame...

Wool: The Graphic Novel by Hugh Howey, Jimmy Palmiotti

Jimmy Broxton is a designer, illustrator, and comic book artist who cares way too much about “negative space," "pattern value,” and the optimum consistency of waterproof drawing ink. He struggles daily to put the images in his head onto paper—his long-suffering partner and cats also struggle daily...just to put up with him. Justin V. Gray is an author, graphic novelist, scriptwriter, and video game writer. He previously worked as an advocate for victims of crime, a chef, a fossil hunter, and a micro-photographer specializing in prehistoric insects and plants trapped in amber.

Part 4 - 4 stars - This was a meaty installment, giving enough detail to be able to easily follow along. Wool as you’ve never read it before: The New York Times bestselling novel now told in graphic novel format, featuring full-color illustrations by Hugo Award-nominated artist Jimmy Broxton, and as adapted by fan-favorite writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray.

This is the story that drives this comic. It is a rather decent concept. By itself I might have given it a 3 star rating. Sadly the story is hampered by subpar art. Thus the overall rating is 2 stars. A decent story, poor art and an unfinished ending (sort of) since I assume there will be a volume 2? I hope.. Lastly, the characters. I had no connection with ANY of them. Not Holston, and his tortured self-exile into cleaning, to follow his wife. Not Juliette, in her quest to uncover the truth. Not Lukas, in learning the secrets of the Silo. They all were pale, pale, boring, flat counterparts to the novel version - but no wonder! They had to be so flat, to fit in such a short format! I don't know if Shift and Dust will be getting the graphic treatment but I hope they do as WOOL the graphic novel has really enhanced my enjoyment of this already spectacular series. Honestly, had this been expanded to at least two volumes, I think the story and characters would have improved exponentially. This is an intricate story, one that isn't done justice here. Palmiotti and crew did a good job of trimming some of the more boring parts of Wool, but in doing that, they also took out the heart. There are way too many panes, which limited the artist from drawing more detail. There isn't enough text or dialogue - it would probably make little sense to anyone unfamiliar with the story.

I’m a new Wool reader. Powered my way through Wool, half way through Slide right now, be interesting to see some of this other than just in my mind.)The story is essentially the same as the book: Holston, the sheriff, heads out to clean, leaving an opening. Juliette takes up the job and starts to learn that there is some deception occurring in the Silo. The artwork also didn't do it for me. Some characters in some places were so beautifully drawn, so detailed that they looked almost like photographs, but most of the time the art was dark and confusing. It was too easy to visually skip over frames, as they all rather blended into one another.

That’s great news about Wool going graphic. I aim to get a copy–looking forward to the artist’s interpretation of the characters and environment. I had a really talented artist for my SF book cover and 27 interior illios. The actual shape of the silo too was nothing like I imagined, I pictured it straight up and down like a massive pipe almost but it flairs out at the bottom, my mind is totally blown. Part 3 - 4 stars - The story is speeding along, and it was condensed in a way that was easy to follow. I'm still not fond of the art, but at least I'm getting used to the flow.Part 2 - 3.5 stars - Part 2 had a better flow than Part 1, but overall, this graphic novel is not on par with the novel. The latter parts were better than the first two, while the first issue was simply put a disaster. The adaptation focuses mostly on Juliette, while the books gives all the PoV characters importance. In addition to the virtual editions, individual paper comics should be hitting stands before too long. Can’t wait to see those. And now, to whet your appetite, I’ve got some of the first rough sketches Brox made as he was reading the novel and thinking about these characters. Enjoy. More sketches after the break. First, Holston and Solo: Wool as you've never read it before: the New York Times bestselling novel now told in graphic novel format, featuring full-color illustrations by Hugo Award-nominated artist Jimmy Broxton, and as adapted by fan-favorite writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. If you're thinking of reading this before or instead of the novel, think again, my friend. Don't do it.

Part 1 - 3 stars If you haven't read the novel, this graphic novel will be very hard to follow. And the illustrations were just ok, and not nearly the quality that I had expected. I will update my review after subsequent deliveries, but for now, I'm a bit disappointed.
