Wool: The Graphic Novel (Silo Saga)

Product Information

This contemporary dystopian classic is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: they are allowed outside. 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. 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.

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... 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.)Wool as you've never read it before: The New York Times bestselling novel is now told in graphic novel format.

Wool: The Graphic Novel by Hugh Howey, Jimmy Palmiotti

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.. 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. If you're thinking of reading this before or instead of the novel, think again, my friend. Don't do it.

Silo Series by Hugh Howey - Goodreads Silo Series by Hugh Howey - Goodreads

Mankind lives in silos spotting a devastated world. Juliette Nichols works on a very low level of the silo. She works to maintain the mechanical construct that keeps the Silo running. But after the Sheriff dies, she is tasked with becoming the Sheriff. As she learns her new job she begins to suspect there is something that is not being told to the inhabitants. We find that the IT department has been limiting the flow of information and this leads to a huge cover-up about the true function of the silos and who created them. Part 4 - 4 stars - This was a meaty installment, giving enough detail to be able to easily follow along. This just feels like a super-rushed, hollow version of the book. I thought the book was long-winded and dull in places but at least I had connection to the characters. Here, everything is on turbo speed, so I had nothing to attach to. Jimmy Palmiotti is a writer, editor, and creator—a multi award-winning character creator with a wide range of experience in advertising, production, consulting, editorial, film and comic writing, development and production, media presentation, and video game development.

Overall a decent read, but if you haven't read the original books then this could be very confusing. It almost was written like you were expected to have read the original books before reading this, which is fine I suppose, but to bring in a new audience I would have thought they'd have aimed for a more complete graphic novel version. I don't think someone that hasn't read the original novel would understand what happens. Even I struggled to understand things from time to time.

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. Wool as you’ve never read it before: The New York Times bestselling novel is now told in graphic novel format. This contemporary dystopian classic—hailed by Justin Cronin, New York Times bestselling author of The Passage, as “an epic feat of imagination”—will captivate readers both familiar and new.

The idea driving Wool was a good one. But often times the end result of an interesting idea falls flat. This, unfortunately, is the case with Wool. This is exactly like reading Shakespeare vs watching Modern Romeo + Juliette, speaking of Juliettes. 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 contemporary dystopian classic—hailed by Justin Cronin, New York Times bestselling author of The Passage, as “an epic feat of imagination”—will captivate readers both familiar and new. 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.Also, sad to see how many of these characters are just more random white people. I like my castings better. La trama es la eterna lucha entre la verdad y el engaño, entre los poderosos aferrados a su trono h la gente que quiere la verdad/libertad...
